| Abstract: | Mass and energy flow (hereafter as: m-and-e-f.) models are used for the representation of production processes, forming the basis for the inventory phase in life-cycle assessment (LCA). For the interpretation of LCA results and the weighting of the aggregated impact assessment indicators, approaches of multicriterion analysis (MCA) have proposed which can analyze both ecological aspects and economic and technical criteria. Recent developments in LCA focus on decision support. Based on a case study of surface coating sector, described is an MCA of environmentally relevant installations. With the help of a m-and-e-f. management system, alternative scenarios are modeled for the job coater processes in case studies of coating of mobile phones and coating of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) parts for the automobile industry. Further, the modeled scenarios are analyzed by using a multicriterion decision support module. The application of the outranking approach 'Promethee' is illustrated. |
