Analyze Eco-footprint Calculation
Explanation
The Part Eco-footprint page allows you to study the emission structure as a tree structure and also the associated emission information of a specific part. For example, you can study the accumulated total LCA emission for a specific substance built-in to the part selected in the tree structure. You can also study how a part's components contribute to the total accumulated eco-footprint for that specific part. It is possible to update your eco-footprint calculation by adding or removing substances on the specific part depending on the status of the part. For the Planned and In Progress status, substances can be added, removed or modified but for the Complete and Approved status, it is illegitimate to take any actions.
You can also study the declared mass for your eco-footprint calculation. The declared mass (%) shows the ratio (as a percentage) between the built-in substances weight and the part net weight. The built-in substances weight is equal to the sum of the accumulated weight for all substances in the structure with media code product and base UoM. In order to have a good knowledge about the substances built-in to your part the declared mass percentage should be close to 100%.
On the Emissions Multilevel tab you can study the multilevel structure of the part emissions. This tab contains information about the bill of material (BOM) as well as how emissions are built up through the BOM. It can be used to query for information like which components contributes with emissions of a certain substance. It is also possible to do a query based on specific criteria in order to determine which sub part and/or substances give the top part of this characteristic.
On the Structure Multilevel tab you will find the complete multilevel structure used in latest Eco-Footprint calculation, but no emissions, i.e. only one record per component. This tab can be used to find parts with certain RoHS data in the structure.
Use the Material Declaration Quality tab to follow up the material declaration quality for one or a selection of parts in order to evaluate the reliability in the calculated result. This tab contains two sections; one in which you can study the total number of parts corresponding to the different material declaration qualities and one in which you can study the percentage distribution of the material declaration qualities for the sub part.
On the Emissions tab, you can find the part substances.
On the Emission LCA Ratios tab, you can study the life cycle assessment emissions.
