Supply Chain Guru's Greenhouse Gas Emissions modeling empowers companies to reduce their impact on the environment and improve their “green” credentials. It provides them with the ability to calculate their carbon emissions footprint, to determine where their emissions can be reduced, and to incorporate Carbon Offset purchases into their cost and footprint calculations.
Supply Chain Guru™ is a unique software application developed to provide you with unprecedented capabilities to model, optimize, simulate, and analyze your supply chain network design. The application can evaluate millions of possible network configurations to finds the most profitable structure, then simulate any scenario to predict network performance and the affects of making a change.
Three ways to use Supply Chain Guru for Greenhouse Gas Emissions modeling include:
Create Baseline GHG Footprint Calculation
Set CO2 Reductions Target, Optimize Network Design
Factor CO2 Offset Purchases Into Network Design
Calculate an organization’s existing carbon footprint (calculation of GHG emissions) based on the current supply chain network structure.
Determine the most cost effective supply chain network design based on user-defined greenhouse gas reduction targets.
Incorporate Carbon Offsets into cost and footprint calculations to optimize where Carbon Offsets should be purchased and applied.
Embedded CO2
Emissions Data Tables Supply Chain Guru™ includes the latest emissions benchmark data and rate tables from accredited sources. Users can access the latest data at any time through Guru’s auto-update feature. Data sources include The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, The Carbon Trust, and The Climate Trust.
As always, the
power of Optimization + Simulation together is greater than
the sum of the parts! Supply Chain Guru™ uses a single data model. You only need to model the supply chain once, and then apply optimization or simulation as needed to analyze and solve tough supply chain problems. Now the ability to model your carbon footprint and optimize your supply chain network structure based on emission targets makes Supply Chain Guru™ an even more valuable analysis tool. Note:
The development of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions model was driven by LLamasoft's perception of an emerging and unfulfilled need in the market place. It was a natural evolution in the Supply Chain Guru™ life cycle and provides companies with significant, yet easy-to-use, tools to be socially responsible.
“Every company worldwide that sources, manufactures, or distributes physical materials has the need to manage their carbon footprint and to reduce emissions over time. A global consensus has been reached, and responsible companies with global brands or sales direct to consumers must act. Our Greenhouse Gas Emissions model provides a robust and complete solution for our customers to determine their carbon footprint and reduce their emissions.”
