Sustainability evaluation of Short supply chainsSustainability evaluation of Short supply chains
• Short supply chains, involving SME’s
? Reduced impacts (e.g. by transportation)
? Technical and economic feasibility
• Sustainability evaluation of short supply chains for wood-based products considering:
– Availability and accessibility of forest biomass (GIS-based evaluation of carrying capacity of forest ecosystems)
– Environmental impacts and efficiency of materials and energy flows (LCA, C-Lean)
– Management of economic and operational aspects of the supply chain (Lean Thinking and C-Lean)
– Socio-economic aspects related to local development (Sustainability indicators, extended LCA)

Lean ThinkingLean Thinking
• To make a local system competitive, it is necessary to reframe the entire
production process, promoting efficiency and reducing wastes.
• Lean Thinking is a management model developed in the context of
methods for quality improvement and processes engineering; it is aimed
to promote efficiency and reduce wastes
• It identifies 5 principles which should lead any reengineering and
reorganization process effort ( Value mapping, Value stream, Flow, Pull,
Perfection )
• “C-Lean” enlarges the principles perspective to include environmental
waste in the evaluation

Some conclusion…Some conclusion…to make sustainability operationalto make sustainability operational
• Limits and rate of consumption have to be integrated in scenario development
• Importance of a widen involvement of whole supply chain and stakeholders
• Need for a strategy to simplify access to existing methodologies and tools
• Strenghten relationship with Public Authorities (local planning, strategic projects etc)
• Need of translation of the results of research into a usable format for the users, both policy maker. Local stakeholders
• Indirect effect and indirect indicators have to be taken into account
• Improvement of knowledge management to capitalize the existing knowledge as a key factor for improving capacity building of Local Communities.
