Abstract

Eco-balance is the basis for the assessing production impact on the environment. Eco-balancing is divided into four phases: goal and scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment, interpretation. However, during the creation and evaluation of material flow networks some defects appear which inhibit or make it more difficult to establish realistic statements towards the environmental impact. In order to make a reliable statement about the environmental impact with the help of eco-balance it is necessary to consider all material and energy flows. This chapter gives an overview of the classification of defects in material flow networks. After the classification of data defects the causes of these defects are discussed. In order to resolve the causes of defects some solutions will be presented using the advantages of Petri nets and the application of Fuzzy sets and Rough sets to the Petri nets.
