| Abstract: | The Sankey diagram is an important aid in pointing up inefficiencies and potential for savings in connection with resource use. This article examines the use of Sankey diagrams in operational material flow management. The previous paper in this two part article series described the development of the diagram and its use in the past. Simple Sankey diagrams follow the requirement of conservation of energy or mass and allow a physical view of production systems. Advanced diagrams integrate stocks of materials beside the flows or show the different (ecological) quality of materials. |
