Who Would Play This Game? ENE-702, Spring 2007 Industrial Pollution Prevention and Sustainability
Description of the Problem • Reality: Mom and Pop need to stay in business. There’s no “Awaiting Assignment” Charge Number. No time to set up a Pollution Prevention Committee. • Natural Default to Apparent Labor-Saving Practices: • Use of Plastic Sandwich containers • Use of Throwaways (plastic utensils) • Coffee Packets • Paper and Cups and holders • Falling into a groove: Organization reaches a Modicum of Success. Could it do better? • Question: If my shop were a video game how well would I play? • Question: How would a video game be constructed?

Ways of Approaching the Problem • Heart of the Sandwich Video Game: Detailed Process Model and Relationship Matrix • Process Simulation: • Product Line • Services Provided • Demands • Labor • Energy • Materials • Waste Produced • Solid • Sanitary (H2O) • Emissions • Cost of Operation ENE-702, Spring 2007 Industrial Pollution Prevention and Sustainability

Example Results ENE-702, Spring 2007 Industrial Pollution Prevention and Sustainability
Expected Outcome if Process Modeling and LCA is Undertaken in Full • Optimization of Offsite Deliveries to reduce Fuel use. • Scheduling of staff • Cost based Pricing • What-ifs: • Waste Onsite/Offsite • “Footprint” of the Sandwich shop • Enviro/Cost Benefit of New Product Lines ENE-702, Spring 2007 Industrial Pollution Prevention and Sustainability
CONCLUSIONS • A Detailed Process Model Can Be Constructed. Data can be obtained thru “Green Zia”, Interviewing, Questionnaire. • The Model Allows Decisions to be made on best overall approach (Time, $, Waste) • Potential to make a Game out of the Model and Compete against Oneself.
