Abstract
This paper addresses the need of developing sustainable strategies by taking advantage of e-platforms bringing advanced asset management solutions. Even though most asset management systems are cost oriented, it is also clear that new factors are gaining weight when considering strategies and operation, like safety or environmental issues. In this sense, LCA methodology enables to assist an effective integration of the environmental considerations in the decision-making process, and this paper presents different applications developed in this address. The paper also shows an e-platform based on current maintenance technologies already developed, together with strategies to select the most cost-efficient path in the search for a maintenance ‘excellence’ strategy. ICT technologies impact both the economical and environmental cost of the manufacturing processes or the factory as a whole. An integrated strategic decision tool for sustainability must be able to simulate and assess cost variations in processes and business models and also incorporate novel metrics, business concepts, and paradigms in order to estimate adequately the interactions between factory, production systems, and processes.
