We will develop a modelling tool that will assist the collaborators and other manufacturers in: 1. Understanding our current manufacturing system and its level of sustainability performance,2. Modelling potential tactics and technologies to improve (from a database of tactics), 3. Selecting appropriate tactics, &4. Implementing tactics and technologies and monitoring progress.We will use the modelling tool to support improvement in our facilites and in collaborators, then assess the utility of the tools, improve them and make them available to other manufacturers. We will explain the results and learning to the wider manufacturing community. The tool must work at a number of levels: e.g. process, facility, local context, product, supply chain, offering & business model. The tool will be capable of modelling existing, known tactics (such as using waste energy from one process for another process) as well as potential future tactics (cradle-to-cradle, industrial ecology, localisation). The tool will seek to integrate existing tools where possible (such as manufacturing simulation and building energy modelling), though it is clear that such tools do not currently support an integrated model of material, energy and waste for an industrial system. For example, energy is often available as an output, but its media (e.g. steam vs motion vs electricity) and its timing and its location (e.g. at start of shift in the final cleaning area) are critical to the ability to use that energy elsewhere and current modelling tools do not support this. Our exploitation partner is a vendor of current tools with a vital interest in expanding their capabilities

我们将开发一个建模工具，帮助合作者和其他制造商：1。了解我们当前的制造系统及其可持续性绩效水平，2.对潜在的战术和技术进行建模以改进（来自战术数据库），3.选择合适的战术，&4。实施策略和技术并监控进展。我们将使用建模工具来支持我们的设施和合作伙伴的改进，然后评估工具的实用性，改进它们并将其提供给其他制造商。我们将向更广泛的制造业社区解释结果和学习。该工具必须在多个层面上工作：例如流程，设施，当地环境，产品，供应链，产品和商业模式。该工具将能够模拟现有的已知策略（例如将一个过程中的废弃能源用于另一个过程）以及潜在的未来策略（摇篮到摇篮，工业生态学，本地化）。该工具将尽可能整合现有工具（如制造模拟和建筑能源建模），但很明显，这些工具目前不支持工业系统的材料、能源和废物综合模型。例如，能源通常可作为一种输出，但其媒介（如蒸汽、运动和电力）及其时间和位置（如在最后清洁区轮班开始时）对于在其他地方使用该能源的能力至关重要，而目前的建模工具不支持这一点。我们的开发合作伙伴是当前工具的供应商，对扩展其功能非常感兴趣
