CarbonVue - integrated carbon and productivity end-to-end supply chain management

该项目将由SupplyVue领导，在CarbonChain和WMG的支持下开发一个新的数字平台CarbonVue，供英国制造商采用。它将提供端到端供应链中碳的可见性，实现集成的真实的时间碳和生产力管理，并提供一个促进更大协作的框架，以减少碳排放。该项目的核心创新是一个将碳影响归因于每个单独的供应链活动的系统（每个make或move操作），使用质量平衡方法来产生每千克产品的碳的绝对测量值--制造商面临着一个重大挑战，即到2050年实现英国的净零碳排放承诺。到2050年实现净零排放将要求企业将碳作为管理供应链的核心租户，增加传统的成本、质量和服务管理。供应链效率和碳排放管理需要一起管理，但目前尚不具备这种联合能力。供应链协作不良是端到端效率和低碳成本的障碍。我们改善供应链协作的新方法是使用碳的测量：独立于成本，但却是效率的衡量标准，可以作为套利点。这将有助于就如何重新配置供应链进行对话，而不必共享敏感的成本信息。将供应链合作伙伴团结在一个共同的低碳目标上。Tata Steel和GKN将对CarbonVue进行测试，以优化其业务之间的产品流，展示更好的协作如何使供应商能够为所有人创造更好的结果。Babcock International将从其行业及其在众多中小企业供应链顶端的地位提供产品开发的具体见解，为未来的部署项目做准备。英国制造业提高生产力和减少碳排放的需求显然是当务之急，但改善缓慢，需要催化剂。这个项目具有这种潜力，但方法需要得到证明。来自InnovateUK的资金将使该项目能够继续进行，将使开发更加高效和有效，并通过提供经过验证的可靠工业参考，提供更快的市场和规模路线。

This project will be led by SupplyVue, with the support of CarbonChain and WMG to develop a new digital platform, CarbonVue, for adoption by UK manufacturers. It will provide visibility of carbon in the end to end supply chain, enable integrated real time carbon and productivity management, and provide a framework to foster greater collaboration, in order to reduce carbon emissions.The core innovation in this project is a system that will attribute carbon impact to each individual supply chain activity (every make or move operation), using a mass balance approach to generate an absolute measure of carbon per kg of product -- akin to the calorie measure of food.Manufacturers face a major challenge to deliver the UK's Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 commitment. Achieving Net Zero by 2050 will require businesses to make carbon a central tenant of managing their supply chains, adding to the classic management of cost, quality and service. Supply chain efficiency and carbon emission management need to be managed together, but this joined-up capability is currently not available.Poor supply chain collaboration is a barrier to end to end efficiency and low carbon cost. Our novel approach to improving supply chain collaboration is to use the measurement of carbon: independent of cost, but is a measure of efficiency, and can act as a point of arbitrage. This will enable conversations on how to re-configure the supply chain without having to share sensitive cost information. Unifying the supply chain partners against a common low carbon goal.CarbonVue will be tested by Tata Steel and GKN to optimise the flow of product between their businesses, showing how better collaboration can empower suppliers to add value for better outcomes for all. Babcock International will provide specific insights for product development from their sector and their position at the top of a supply chain with many SMEs, in preparation for a future deployment project.The need for the UKs' manufacturing sector to be more productive and to reduce carbon emissions is a clear imperative but improvement is slow and needs a catalyst. This project has that potential, but the approach needs to be proven. The funding from InnovateUK will enable this project to proceed, will make the development more efficient and effective, and provide a much faster route to market and scale by providing a validated credible industrial reference.
