Closed Loops to Reduce Waste and Increase Profits

Presentation given at HVM CLASS 2008 
High Value Manufacturing - Closed Loops and Service Systems
New Hall, Cambridge, 22 April 2008

Charles Lee

Supply chains are traditionally viewed as ‘open loop’.  However, resources are finite, and in the long term, this is not sustainable.  By considering material flows within manufacturing processes and within the supply chain, businesses can identify opportunities to conserve resources and increase profits by introducing Closed Loops within processes, in the supply chain and by post-consumer recycling.  There are alternative service models that support this.  While there are many solutions, no one approach fits all cases, but organisations can be systematic in seeking opportunities.
