IBM Corp. of Armonk has a new tool that allows organizations to analyze and manage the impact that their supply chains have on the environment. Called the Carbon Tradeoff Modeler, the system tracks carbon dioxide emissions from manufacturing and distribution operations.
The tool allows businesses to study how different package sizes and packaging materials, transportation modes, and inventory policies affect both cost and carbon dioxide emissions. It can also evaluate the effect of alternative policies on those measurements.
