approach: main features

A.
Life Cycle Thinking
Life Cycle Management
Definition
“...is the organizational dimension of the life cycle
approaches…LCM uses various procedural and
analytical tools for different applications and
integrates economic, social and environmental
aspects into an institutional context”.
Life Cycle Management
LCM tools:
Integrated Management Systems (IMS)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Carbon Footprinting (CF)
Life Cycle Design (LCD)
Life Cycle Costing (LCC)
Environmental Product Declaration (PE)
Corporate Reporting (CR)
Responsible Supply Chain Management (RSCM)
Life Cycle Assessment
Definition
LCA is a compilation and evaluation of the
inputs, outputs and other interventions and the
current or potential environmental aspects and
impacts throughout a product’s life cycle (i.e.,
“cradle to grave”).

Life Cycle Costing
Definition
...is as an assessment of all costs associated
with the life cycle of a product that are directly
covered by any one or more of the actors in
the product life cycle (supplier, producer,
user/consumer, EOL-actor)”.
Life Cycle Costing
Price + Life-Cycle Costs

Supply Chain Responsibility
Supply Chain Responsibility
Focus on data inventory – relations with
stakeholders
Relevant technical-scientific issues
related to SALSA implementation
B.
1. Define strategies to enhance the
“willingness” to cooperate in data
collection and management; encouraging
collaboration among stakeholders
Focus on data inventory/relations with stakeholders
Relevant issues
2. Chain representativeness in terms of :
• Product impact on LAC and EU
sustainability
• Existing production systems
• Stakeholders inclusion (chain boundary)
Focus on data inventory/relations with stakeholders
Relevant issues
3. Identification of:
• The functional unit for the analysis (final poduct considered in our analysis) (1 Litre of bio fuel, 1 kg of soymeal – beef carcass?)
• The boundaries of the analysis.
Focus on data inventory/relations with stakeholders
Relevant issues
1. Enhance collaboration through appropriate socio-cultural analysis of the stakeholders and definition of communication strategies and institutions involvement
2. Clear understanding of the different partners’ role during the process of implementing the LCM tools
Focus on data inventory/relations with stakeholders
Possible actions
3. Food chain choice:
• balance chains number and chain
boundaries• choice of supply chains including one or
more of the following:• One soya- beef integrated chain (EU beef)
• Soya for bio-fuels (different production systems)• Beef in different relevant production systems
(internal /international markets)
Possible actions
Focus on data inventory/relations with stakeholders
3. Data Inventory: in the light of previous
considerations:
• Definition of a “shopping list”
• Evaluation of its relevance and collection feasibility
• When needed, integrate missing data with already existing data bases
Focus on data inventory/relations with stakeholders
Possible actions
ICTs architecture definition,
ICTs adoption and
implementation
Relevant technical-scientific issues
related to SALSA implementation
C.
• How to make it possible for the different
stakeholders to adopt, and use in a
collaborative way, the ICTS solutions provided?
• In particular roles of farmers (how to
support farmers adoption of ICTs?)
ICTs architecture definition,
ICTs adoption and
implementation Relevant issues
• WEB solution design according to stakeholders needs and characteristics (technical cultural etc..) .
• WEB solution adoption: overcoming cultural technical and economic barriers
• WEB architecture for an easy and effective communication to end users
ICTs architecture definition,
ICTs adoption and
implementation Possible actions
This implies
• different strategies for different stakeholders
relations
• effects on the supply chain organization (who is
doing what?) when managing the software for the
supply chain management?
ICTs architecture definition,
ICTs adoption and
implementation Possible actions
REGULATION AND
STANDARDS DATA BASE
Relevant technical-scientific issues
related to SALSA implementation
D.
• Most of the material is already existing and we need to organize it to fulfill SALSA goals
•the contribution of SALSA partners, IP and AB members, twinned projects as sources of information will be important
• The WP2 and WP5 leaders should provide a framework for data collection (a shopping list)
National Latin American
and EU Policies and
Regulations
Twinning with other projects – possible
actions • Exchange of data
• Exchange of information (e.g. Innovation data base contents – regulation and quality standards
• Exchange of experiences on theoretical, methodological and field activites related to the project implementation
