Life Cycle Impact Assessment Based on Decision Analysis
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a popular tool for evaluating environmental impacts of products and services. However, the methodological choices and framework to assess environmental impacts in LCA are still under discussion. Despite intensive development worldwide, few attempts have been made hitherto to systematically present the theoretical bases of life cycle impact assessment (LCIA). In th...
متن کاملDecision Analysis Frameworks for Life-Cycle Impact Assessment
Keywords decision analysis life-cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methods multiple attribute multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) normalization Summary Life-cycle impact assessments (LCIAs) are complex because they almost always involve uncertain consequences relative to multiple criteria. Several authors have noticed that this is precisely the sort of problem addressed by methods of decisio...
متن کاملcomparison of solid waste management scenarios based on life cycle analysis and multi-criteria decision making (case study: isfahan city)
life cycle assessment (lca) is one of the decision support systems which can be considered for assessing the different approaches of waste management. however, it only considers environmental effects and ignores other decision making options such as economic and social effects of solid waste management. in this research, we consider a combination of three decision making options including en...
متن کاملLife cycle assessment of the use of alternative fuels in cement kilns: A case study.
The benefits of using alternative fuels (AFs) in the cement industry include reduction of the use of non-renewable fossil fuels and lower emissions of greenhouse gases, since fossil fuels are replaced with materials that would otherwise be degraded or incinerated with corresponding emissions and final residues. Furthermore, the use of alternative fuels maximizes the recovery of energy. Seven di...
متن کاملStochastic Decision Making in Manufacturing Environments
Decision making plays an important role in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, statistics and many other fields. In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...
