IBM has developed a tool that can help manage carbon emissions and other operational metrics associated with outbound finished goods shipments. The objective of the tool is to support important executive level business decisions by providing an ability to consider the economic and environmental aspects of alternative operational choices. The tool allows decision makers to compare alternative approaches considering packaging size, sourcing, transportation routing, and service level agreements. This talk will articulate a general framework that IBM Research has for modeling carbon emissions in a supply chain and the demo of the tool which is the first module of what will eventually become a tool capable of modeling carbon emissions in other areas of a supply chain.
