Uncertainty calculation in life cycle assessments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a combined use of approximation formulas and Monte Carlo simulation for calculating uncertainty in LCAs, developed primarily for the sequential approach, where a parameter observation controls the performance of the approximation formulas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybrid Sankey diagrams: Visual analysis of multidimensional data for understanding resource use

TL;DR: This paper combines data-visualisation techniques with the traditional Sankey diagram to propose a new type of “hybrid” Sankey diagrams, which is better able to visualise different aspects of flows.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combining discrete event simulation and material flow analysis in a component-based approach to industrial environmental protection

TL;DR: A plug-in architecture for generating customized material flow simulators is presented and the benefits of this framework's component-based structure are discussed in terms of its practical application to the lithography stage of the semiconductor manufacturing process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expanding material flow cost accounting. Framework, review and potentials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the existing literature on MFCA and identify a limited application of material flow cost accounting in comparison to its potential application, and provide a research agenda both for developing and subsequently spreading them to new areas where they can contribute to the sustainable development of organizations, the economy and society.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrating life cycle assessment and material flow cost accounting to account for resource productivity and economic-environmental performance

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the integration of life cycle assessment and material flow cost accounting to examine resource inputs and product and non-product outputs alongside environmental impacts and costs, and highlight the methodological facets of this integrative assessment based on a holistic single case study.
