Title: Climate actionable supply chain management using AI technologies coupled with strategic cost management perspectives:
Abstract: There is an urgent need for corporations to take positive climate change actions to reduce the earth’s carbon footprint. On the other hand, growing demands, high expectations of customers for advanced product functionalities and reliability have led to establishing large scale manufacturing plants with complex and capital intensive automated equipments which negatively impact climate change. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to track and improve such plants’ efficiencies is prudent for corporate management. Further, the financial regulations imposed by the US government call for corporations to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance. Therefore, this research presents a systems design to integrate implementation and monitoring of positive climate change actions concurrently with OEE monitoring and adherence to SOX compliance requirements.
Company processes are seen as “linked activities forming a supply chain” that could be designed to promote and constantly monitor the reduction of carbon emission. Hence, climate actionable supply chains are made possible.
To make possible the visibility, transparency and traceability of all such climate change related activities in a supply chain, systems designs should use AI technologies such as enterprise modeling, knowledge representation, and ontologies together with strategic cost management using Temporal-Activity Based Costing (Temporal- ABC).
