EcoFactory will address the following aspects to develop a unique procedure model to increase Eco-Efficiency in production systems:

1. Rough Analysis of production systems to identify process step for improvement.
2. Development of an environmental and economic KPI system & assessment of identified production step.
3. Modeling and Simulation of identified process step using a combination of DES and MFA.
4. Evaluation of potential improvement measures (Technology, Production Planning & Control, Process Design) using DES and MFA.
5. Validation of identified measure in process step and feedback to production system.

Expected Results

• Holistic procedure model improving Eco-Efficiency in production systems.
• Development of a user-friendly software tool.
