    Sammanfattning : This thesis is about whether it is a good idea to place monetary value on nature, to remedy the fact that we treat it as having no particular value to us humans, although it clearly has. The thesis is based on five research papers that can be said to position themselves on opposite sides in the debate on monetisation of nature. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Environmental Impact Assessment using Production Flow Simulation

    Författare :Jon Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Discrete Event Simulation; Life cycle assessment; Environmental impact assessment;

    Sammanfattning : A higher-level perspective for production engineers and enables detailed assessment of dynamic manufacturing systems environmental impact at a system level. By using simulation, the simulation engineer enables to understand how minor adjustments affect the system. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Manufacturing management and decision support using simulation-based multi-objective optimisation

    Författare :Leif Pehrsson; David Stockton; Ng Amos; Mats Jackson; Raouf Hamzaoui; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Manufacturing Management; Decision Support; simulation; Multi-objective; optimisation; Production systems; Teknik; Technology;

    Sammanfattning : A majority of the established automotive manufacturers are under severe competitive pressure and their long term economic sustainability is threatened. In particular the transformation towards more CO2-efficient energy sources is a huge financial burden for an already investment capital intensive industry. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Leveraging supplier material data to inform LCA modelling and resource assessment in the automotive industry

    Författare :Felipe Bitencourt de Oliveira; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment LCA ; vehicle gliders; metal availability; metal scarcity; life cycle inventory LCI ; automotive industry; International Material Data System IMDS ;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the application of supplier material composition data from the automotive industry's International Material Data System (IMDS) to inform sustainability assessments. A methodology is developed to systematically extract and process IMDS data for use in life cycle assessment (LCA) modelling. LÄS MER
