Description

In the context of IT for Green, the potential of the Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) method has not yet been fully unleashed. Using the advantages of mobile data acquisition for material and energy flows, for instance right at a production plant, makes it easier to identify optimization potentials in sustainability management. Tapping this potential, for example through continuous data acquisition of sensor data from sensors in a production plant, can also be made more convenient. Studies conducted that the introduction and application of MFCA has brought significant ecological and economic benefits. They also revealed that there is very little MFCA specialized software on the market. This paper describes the objective and concept of a web browser-based application for the processing and analysis of material flow models and their evaluation with the MFCA methodology.
