dc.description.abstract | In manufacturing, Industry 4.0 operating models enable greener technologies. Thanks to digital technologies, environmental
sustainability and organizational competitiveness are mutually reinforcing. The challenge for manufacturing organizations is
to understand and quantify the magnitude of this synergistic action, and the holistic perspective of life cycle assessment tools
may be a solution to the problem. Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (O-LCA) unlike Product Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA) is still an under-researched methodology with few applications in manufacturing contexts. This paper aims to fll
this gap by implementing and validating O-LCA in the case of an Italian ceramic tile manufacturer. Following the O-LCA
guidelines and exploiting Industry 4.0 technologies to perform the inventory analysis, the environmental assessment was
conducted in three diferent plants, comparing the sum of the partial impact results with the overall results scaled to the whole
organization. The experimental results demonstrated the validity of the organizational approach as an appropriate methodological option to obtain relevant information on environmental performance that, being based on empirical evidence, better
support decision-making processes. Furthermore, the study provides empirical evidence of how Industry 4.0 is an enabler
not only for the adoption of greener technologies, but especially for facilitating the organizational environmental impact
assessment that is the necessary condition in order to set up and maintain greener manufacturing contexts. | es |
