Modeling and Integrated Assessment of Mass and Energy Flows within Supply Chains

  • Chapter
Research Methodologies in Supply Chain Management

Summary

For an integrated assessment of mass and energy flows the specification and detailed mapping of the technical requirements and the material properties is essential. Integrated process design of supply chain structures aims at a holistic approach to process design and operations planning, since changes in materials and operating states influence the whole supply chain. The combination of methods of process integration and Operations Research (OR) in Multi Objective Pinch Analysis (MOPA) allows the consideration of a variety of economic and environmental process attributes for an integrated technique assessment. Consequently, the focus here will be the development of a method for optimizing inter-enterprise plant layout planning in dynamic mass flow networks.
