Life-Cycle Mass-Energy Balance
Issue

#45875
Routine to chemists, this is very different for most of us. Examine everything going into and out of a process, whether it has a $ sign on it or not.

Compression Thinking »
Compression Thinking
Compression Thinking☜Population growth squeezes all of us on a planet whose resources are finite. To not only survive, but improve quality of life, we must become much smarter using what we have. For practical, effective action, work organizations critical to Compression must greatly compress their learning cycles.☜F1CEB7

Compression vs. Expansion Thinking »
Compression vs. Expansion Thinking
Compression vs. Expansion Thinking☜In Compression we must learn to guide our actions using physical measurements before applying financial ones. This applies to all organizations: for-profit, non-profit, and government. Because this turns expansionary economic thinking upside down, Compression is primarily a human challenge.☜FFB597

Compression "Technomics" »
Compression "Technomics"
Compression "Technomics"☜If we are to improve quality of life while drastically cutting resource use and its unintended consequences, the decision-making methodologies of working organizations have to emphasize this. It cannot be a side issue, nice when we get around to it. ☜FFB597

Process Compression »
Process Compression
Process Compression☜Start with aggressive conservation: eliminate process waste; redesign to use minimal resources. Then improve qualitative effects, not just for clients, but for everyone. Reduce the unwanted side effects of technology on the world outside the orbits of its producers and suppliers. ☜FFB597

Can be done at any scale
Can be done at any scale☜Scales up from micro-size, like biological cells, to macro-sizes, like ecosystems -- or even galaxies. Capturing input-output may or may not be simple, but better to approximate something important than to measure things less important with false precision.☜FFB597

Full Life Cycle Conversion Processes »
Full Life Cycle Conversion Processes
Full Life Cycle Conversion Processes☜Considerable insight can be gained from a life cycle analysis over a full life cycle of a product or process, cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-cradle. This examines its physical effects, not its profitability. And it may need to project quality effects hundreds of years into the future.☜FFB597

Qualitative as Well as Quantitative Analysis »
Qualitative as Well as Quantitative Analysis
Qualitative as Well as Quantitative Analysis☜Mass-energy balance provokes ideas to reduce total resource footprints. However, the nature of inputs and outputs must also be examined. Strive not to use or generate hazardous materials, and try to set up fail-safe means to preclude the release of those deemed necessary to use.☜FFB597

Relationship to Process Kaizen »
Relationship to Process Kaizen
Relationship to Process Kaizen☜Lean practitioners can think of this as rolling every value stream map into one exercise and putting input-output measures on it. And the objective is a large-scale version of every process kaizen: Eliminate all the resource waste one can find.☜FFB597
