Embodiment Construction

[0037] Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for linkage analysis, artificial intelligence, social networking, and knowledge management technologies to establish a platform for applying sustainability to product life cycle management (e.g., product concept, design, production, service and Final disposal) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) (including production, supply chain management, finance, human resources, customer relationship management and external stakeholder engagement activities across the enterprise). The web services framework integrates life cycle assessment (LCA) software technology with existing product design, production planning, product data management, supply chain management, financial planning, and distribution management tools. The LCA calculator applies embedded sustainability factors to design variables and provides relevant results. An artificial intelligence (AI) recommendation engine enables LCA to be evaluated with a ...

Abstract

A software application providing system and methods for using Web Services to connect an Analysis calculator, a Recommendations engine, Social Networking, and Knowledge Management technologies in a platform for operationalizing sustainability into Product Life Cycle Management (e.g., conception, design, manufacture, service, end-of-life disposition) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) (including enterprise-wide activities of manufacturing, supply change management, financials, human resources, customer relationship management, and external stakeholder engagement). A Web Service Framework integrates Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software technology with product design, manufacturing, and distribution process design tools. A logic layer can perform sustainability estimates within a Knowledge Management System. A Web Service Framework is utilized for constructing or entering LCA models, methodologies and source data. A social software-based participation environment is integrated with sustainable product design and LCA tools and processes.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention generally relates to the fields of environmental science and modeling, sustainable development, product design, artificial intelligence, knowledge management and social network systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to a web-based system that provides sustainable design decision support and information services in a collaborative environment that enables product design teams to implement sustainability and create innovative "green "product. Background technique [0002] The growing need for accountability and transparency is driving sustainability concerns and changing the way many companies design products. Key drivers include: [0003] 1. Environmental pressure. Climate change, energy, water, human health and ecotoxicity and emerging unknown environmental risks are major challenges. Companies, big and small, need to address these issues -- be aware of the big issues, understand what the science says and know th...
