An Activity Based Management
Methodology for Evaluating Business Processes for Environmental Sustainability
Joseph Sarkis, Laura Meade and Adrien Presley
Business Process Management Journal, Vol. 12, No. 6, pp. 751-769, 2006.
In this paper a
conceptual model is developed for incorporating environmental systems decision
making utilizing activity based costing and management, the analytic hierarchy
process, and business process modeling (IDEF). An illustrative example that
applies the methodology to a semiconductor manufacturing facility is presented
in the paper. Application of the technique encourages management to more fully
assess the environmental implications of their decision in evaluating
alternative technological processes. The methodology can be broadened to
include other organizational decision dimensions. Managerial application and
implications can include such areas as product cost management, business process
design and technology selection.
