Learning factories promote digital transformation through an interdisciplinary approach between lean management, Industry 4.0, energy efficiency, training center or research farm. SME centers are characterized by the on-site integration of small and medium-sized companies. Such a regional strategy, combined with learning factories, promotes a goal-oriented dialog between science and practice where students can put their theoretical knowledge to the test.

Standards for Calculating a Carbon Footprint

Stefanie Lewandowski, André Ullrich ORCID Icon, Norbert Gronau ORCID Icon
Carbon footprints are a widely discussed topic impacting the individuals as well as companies. A company can be transparent in their actions, by publishing a carbon footprint. These footprints can be calculated for a single product or the whole company. However, there is a variety of different carbon footprint standards. The internationally most recognized ones are the publicly available specification 2050, Greenhouse Gas protocol (2011) and ISO 14067. This paper compares the standards and gives a recommendation for the application of product carbon footprints.
