Information processing system

Abstract

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus capable of easily executing calculation of an environmental load volume (LCA result 23). Inventory data 21 which is data of individual materials and components is used as a basic data of a aggregate data 22 when calculating the environmental load volume. The aggregate data 22 is comprised by referring to a plurality of inventory data 21. When information per product is inputted, on the basis of this information, its aggregate data is calculated and used for calculation of LCA result 23. Further, the LCA result 23 is calculated also using other LCA results 23 already calculated. The present invention can be applied to a computer for calculating the environmental load volume.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an information processing system, in particular to an information processing system suitable for application in computing life cycle assessment. Background technique [0002] Through the rapid development of human production activities in recent years, huge growth has been achieved in the field of science and technology and in the field of economy; however, on the other hand, the global environmental damage caused by supporting these science and technology and economic activities has also increasingly prominent. Efforts to minimize the environmental damage caused by value-added products are also increasingly frequent in the industrial sector. [0003] In these cases, a method has been proposed in which LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to assess the environmental load of a product in quantitative terms, i.e., from the extraction of materials, their manufacture and their destruction Loads of impact on the environment through...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The proposed LCA has the advantage of being able to obtain the environmental load from the perspective of quantity, but there is such a problem in this LCA: the amount of data that must be obtained before the calculation of the environmental load is particularly large, and complex calculations are required for evaluation. A lot of process is required before the result

In addition, since the calculated results are limited within the given conditions, there is a problem that the calculated results may vary greatly depending on the premises and / or variables to be considered

For example, although a large amount of parts (assembly) data is required to constitute a product, there is a problem that it takes a lot of time and effort to collect and manage such data

Furthermore, there is the problem that searching for the required data from the large amount of data related to these components can be very time-consuming and tedious
