Integrated Environmental Economic Performance Monitoring

项目摘要

This grant provides funding for research to integrate environmental and economic performance information for manufacturers. This research will attempt to help industry see, in real time, opportunities for improving both economic and environmental performance. The objective is to develop new business/process instrumentation and corresponding methods of analysis that will quantify and qualify the joint environmental and economic performance of manufacturing plants. This project will extend familiar cost management principles (in particular Activity-Based Costing) into environmental management in order to create a combined economic and environmental performance measurement framework. A model of a manufacturing plant's processes using an Activity-Based Cost, Mass, and Energy approach will be developed. Manufacturing process sensors will be used to enhance response time of performance measurements. The data streams will be integrated into a web-browser based display that provides read-outs of the plant's performance at various levels of detail. The tools will be implemented and tested in an actual manufacturing plant. This test-bed will be used to assess the findings and lessons learned with respect to developing integrated economic and environmental assessments.If successful, this research will provide new business and process instrumentation and corresponding methods of analysis that will quantify and qualify the joint environmental and economic performance of manufacturing plants. These tools will advance the cause of environmentally conscious manufacturing (and ultimately, sustainable development) by providing a basis for benchmarking a manufacturing plant with other plants and other industries. Companies will use these methods to accelerate their contributions to a more sustainable society.

该赠款为研究提供了资金，以整合制造商的环境和经济绩效信息。这项研究将尝试帮助行业实时看到改善经济和环境绩效的机会。目的是开发新的业务/过程工具和相应的分析方法，以量化和鉴定制造厂的共同环境和经济绩效。该项目将将熟悉的成本管理原则（特别是基于活动的成本成本）扩展到环境管理中，以创建一个合并的经济和环境绩效测量框架。将开发出一种使用基于活动的成本，质量和能源方法的制造工厂工艺的模型。制造过程传感器将用于增强性能测量的响应时间。数据流将集成到基于Web浏览器的显示中，该显示器在各个详细层面提供了植物性能的读数。这些工具将在实际的制造工厂中实施和测试。该测试床将用于评估有关开发综合经济和环境评估的发现和经验教训。如果成功，该研究将提供新的业务和过程工具以及相应的分析方法，以量化和鉴定制造厂的共同环境和经济绩效。这些工具将通过为与其他工厂和其他行业进行基准制造工厂的基础提供基础，从而促进环保制造业的原因（并最终，可持续发展）。公司将使用这些方法来加速其对更可持续的社会的贡献。
