Cost and Carbon Manager
PwC software for footprint calculations of processes and products
PwC software for cost calculation and determination of greenhouse gas emissions
Companies face the challenge of identifying which measures lead to sustainable cost and emission reductions. This is necessary to make the right decisions internally and to meet external reporting standards. Cost calculation addresses this challenge. Exemplary use cases include should costing, benchmarking, site selection, make-or-buy decisions or process and component optimisation.
Benefits
Combined efficient consideration of costs and the CO₂ footprint
Detailed analysis and high accuracy through bottom-up approach
Well-founded benchmark calculations for the evaluation of the entire product portfolio or the process chain to determine the potential for cost and emission savings
The calculations meet the requirements of the applicable regulations such as DIN EN ISO 14044 and the GHG Protocol
The Cost and Carbon Manager creates transparency - a use case
The familiar design-to-cost approach of vehicle components is supplemented by a new dimension of sustainability (Design-to-NetZero). To accommodate these factors, the Cost and Carbon Manager offers the necessary capabilities. Companies benefit here from PwC's integrated approach:
CO₂-Footprint
The total CO₂-footprint of a vehicle is made up of the CO₂-equivalents of all greenhouse gas emissions generated by the production process - including production facilities, supply chains, purchased components and raw materials.
Production facilities
For each process, the production systems including cycle times, waste rates and energy consumption must be considered, taking into account the local energy mix, the recycling concept and much more.
Evaluation of existing process information
PwC's Cost and Carbon Manager evaluates existing process information using reference values for costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatively, customer-specific information can be used.
Result visualisation
The transparent result visualisation supports you in identifying the largest and most effective levers for emission savings and in examining alternative courses of action.
