LIFE CYCLE SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT FOR LARGE SCALE PROJECTS IN MANUFACTURING AND PLANT INDUSTRIES

Abstract


Large-scale projects like a new line-production may not only change a
company’s profitability, but also its environmental and social compatibility.
However, for a company-specific assessment of such projects, the productrelated
life cycle methods are suitable to a limited extent, as the project’s
scope may be broader and moreover, for the implementing company not the
sustainability of the project itself, but the effects on the company are of
utmost interest. Thus a concept for a sustainable and firm-specific project
assessment is outlined, by designing a decision-oriented Life Cycle Costing
(LCC) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) followed by an overall
Sustainability Assessment extended by a Stakeholder-Effect-Analysis.
