Full textI denna avhandling undersöktes fysisk resursanvändning i ett globalt perspektiv, för att få en djupare förståelse av dess konsekvenser i ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Framför allt undersöktes de största utmaningarna med den aktuella fysiska resurshanteringen och vilka typer av systemförändringar som krävs för en hållbar fysisk resurshantering. I fem studier analyserades olika teoretiska och praktiska utmaningar för den nuvarande fysiska resurshanteringen. Litteraturstudier, kausala loopdiagram och semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes för att samla kvalitativ och kvantitativ information. Perspektiv från industriell ekologi, livscykeltänkande, systemtänkande och miljöfilosofi tillämpades för att analysera globala resurs- och avfallshanteringsfrågor. Analysen resulterade i en översikt av den nuvarande fysiska resurshanteringens globala ekologiska hållbarhetsutmaningar och identifiering av stora utmaningar för den globala avfallshanteringen. Kausala loopdiagram användes för att kvalitativt analysera strukturen och beteendet hos de produktions- och konsumtionssystem som gör att ändamålsenliga åtgärder för att förbättra material- och energieffektivitet får oavsiktliga negativa miljökonsekvenser. Hur resurskvalitet kan upprätthållas i produktions- och konsumtionssystemen som helhet bestämdes genom att identifiera de utmaningar som produktdesigners möter när de sluter kretslopp av material. En planeringsmodell utformades för att operationalisera kraven på hållbar utveckling i samhället, bland annat produktions- och konsumtionssystem. Ett bredare systemtänkande föreslås för en hållbar global fysisk resursförvaltning i framtiden, med fokus på att säkerställa samhällsfunktioner inom det mänskliga aktivitetssystemet. Tillvägagångssättet innebär att utforma och hantera antropogena fysiska resurser i syfte att: minska inflödet av fysiska resurser; och utflödet av avfall och utsläpp. Livscykelbaserade databaser som länkar resursanvändning till avfallsgenerering behövs för att förbättra den globala fysiska resursförvaltningen.

Verizon distributes Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) such as set top boxes, broadband routers, and WiFi extenders to Fios customers via a variety of paths; for example: direct ship to customer (either for self-install or for later installation by a field technician), delivery via field technicians, or retail store pickup (primarily for self-install). Each method has its own benefits and shortcomings due to impacts on metrics such as inventory levels, shipping costs, on-time delivery, and system complexity. Although the majority of shipments are successfully activated in the customer's home, a non-trivial percentage results in unused returns or inventory shrinkage. These undesirable results represent a significant amount of wasted resources. This thesis is focused on identifying and realizing cost savings in the Fios supply chain through reduction in waste associated with unsuccessful shipments.
In order to effectively analyze the closed-loop supply chain, accurate and reliable process mapping is critical. Interviews with key stakeholders, together with order and shipment data analysis yielded a complete picture of the ecosystem's processes and infrastructure. Process mining techniques augmented this understanding, using event log data to identify and map equipment and information flows across the supply chain. All together this analysis is used to identify order cancellations as a key source of waste. To limit waste, it is necessary to conduct analysis both internal to Verizon's processes and externally, to determine if there are customer trends leading to order termination. Process mining was used for the internal analysis and, while it helped identify singular cases in which process abnormalities were associated with undesirable outcomes, its current form proved unsuited for root cause analysis.
Internal analysis did, however, illuminate opportunities for improvement in radio-frequency identification (RFID) usage and protocols across the supply chain. Current systems can result in poor visibility of equipment as it moves within some segments of the supply chain. The actual monetary impact is difficult to determine but likely to increase as the importance of RFID increases. External analysis is conducted through predictive modelling. Using a variety of data sources, a model with over 80% sensitivity and a low false positive rate is achieved. Operationalizing this model through real time incorporation with sales was explored but found to be overly complex. Instead, the random forest model yielded policy changes guided by the features with the highest importance. A pilot is currently in development to test the efficacy of suggested changes, as the model implies significant savings opportunity.

Quest Diagnostics has committed to reducing operating expenses by $1.3B between 2012 and 2017. A portion of the cost-saving initiative focuses on reagents - expensive liquids that are combined with patient samples to detect compounds of interest. This project aims to reduce reagent waste for high-volume diagnostic tests run on an instrument platform that generates a relatively high amount of reagent waste. Waste, in this context, means any reagent that does not generate unique patient results. Therefore critical components of the quality system, such as quality control and calibration tests, are designated waste even though they are a necessary expenditure. Quality control (QC) samples and mechanical errors accounted for 5.2% and 4.4%, respectively, of all reagent usage prior to the start of the project. Mechanical errors occur when the diagnostic testing platform encounters something unexpected, such as debris or a reading that indicates insufficient sample volume, which interrupts sample processing. The instrument jettisons this test and attempts to repeat the assay. Initial discussions with laboratory representatives revealed differing interpretations of quality control requirements. All sites using the platform of interest were then surveyed to gauge the extent of variation. All sites met quality control requirements but several exceeded them. The most pertinent variations are listed below. 1. Frequency: Several sites ran control samples more often than established in Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) requirements, increasing total QC usage by over 70%. 2. Container size: The choice of container determines the amount of "dead volume", material that the instrument cannot access and must be discarded. Some sites used containers with 12.8 times the dead volume required in the smallest option. 3. Reuse policy: Some labs reuse containers of quality control materials across multiple batches. Reusing QC material further reduces the amount of dead volume discarded, but using new QC materials eliminates the possibility of evaporation between batches. An interdisciplinary team of experts tasked with maintaining the SOPs has reviewed these results and will clarify the appropriate SOP interpretation to unify practices across laboratories. In order to understand mechanical errors, I observed routine maintenance at four sites and found that business units did not consistently share best practices. Collaborating with vendor representatives and operators, I launched an Autonomous Maintenance (AM) pilot program in order to develop training materials capturing institutional knowledge and to test additional maintenance procedures. The AM activities generated 29 training documents, which were added to a national database of competency training materials. All operators certified to operate the testing platform will be required to review and pass comprehension quizzes on the training materials. As the Marlborough site continues to develop improvements to the maintenance procedures, these changes will be shared with the vendor and incorporated into training documents.

Full textOur societies need solutions to reduce resource consumption as well as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Identifying waste as a valuable resource can help reduce resource consumption and consequently GHG emissions. Therefore, focus has originally been placed on recovery and recycling. However, waste managers and researchers have recently highlighted the importance of wastes traded in global markets. This global perspective could affect the savings of GHG emissions attributed to recycling. Thus, the goal of this thesis is firstly to calculate and evaluate the GHG emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) management in Spain. Secondly a special focus is put on the GHG emissions of recycling considering the market and the international trade, specifically for waste paper, aluminium old scrap and plastic waste. A new tool called CO2ZW®, consequential life cycle assessment (CLCA) and material flow analysis (MFA) were applied for the GHG and resource assessments. The application of the CO2ZW® to evaluate the MSW management confirmed that there is a high potential for climate change mitigation in Spain through the increase of material recovery along with reducing disposal to landfills. The application of MFA showed that there is a considerable accumulation of paper, aluminium and plastics products which in coming years will become waste but the increase in waste supply will probably be exported. Moreover, under the assumption that recycling avoids raw material production, it was also determined that recycling avoids GHG emissions. However, waste can be recycled in Spain or abroad, and recycling can substituted global or Spanish raw material production. The GHG emissions varied in each case. The most competitive global productions of virgin pulp, primary aluminium and virgin plastic were identified as the base scenarios under CLCA. The Spanish national productions were assessed as alternative scenarios. Results showed that the most competitive processes generate more GHG emissions as they are more inefficient and they are often located in countries with high hard coal content in their electricity mixes. Therefore, if these processes are avoided by recycling, more GHG emissions are mitigated than if the Spanish processes are avoided. In addition, increasing the export of waste decreases the GHG benefits for all scenarios evaluated except for the aluminium old scrap export. The results not only help researchers to evaluate the GHG emissions from waste management but also can be used by producers, waste managers and waste politicians to evaluate and propose the best strategy to reduce the resource consumption and the GHG emissions.
