A Framework to Evaluate the Performance of Disperse Productive System through Sustainability Performance Indicators

摘要

Productive systems (PS) should currently consider the efficient use of resources (such as technological transformation, handling and material transport) besides the dispersed distribution of productive plants and sustainability concepts to allow the adequate use of environmental resources and reduce costs through local facilities. However, in the literature there are not widely accepted criteria to evaluate this class of Sustainable and Dispersed Productive Systems (SDPS). Therefore, this work introduces a framework for SDPS performance evaluation by extending the system requirements in the ANSI/ISA-95 standard specifications. Petri net (PN) technique and its extension, Production Flow Schema (PFS), are used to systematize the collection of production data and indexes to evaluating the SDPS performance. Cloud computing technology is also considered to provide resources to access information from SDPS. The presented method allows obtaining and choosing the better indicator for sustainable SDPS.
