The Ecological Footprint on Product Level in Machining – From the Conceptional Methodology to the Industrial Application

Abstract:

In line with the striving for a more sustainable orientation in manufacturing systems and industrial pursuit of resource efficiency, companies are looking for efficient processes. The consumption of electrical energy and other resources during the manufacturing phase is considered by the ecological footprint. This study offers a conception for the determination of the ecological footprint within manufacturing systems based on life cycle assessments. The existence of basic data is a requirement for such an evaluation. Therefore, a holistic measurement system is presented which is adaptable to small as well as large scaled production environments and different usage scenarios, e.g. full scale measurement or detailed process analysis.
