At the same time, the value chain has a direct impact on the ability of companies to meet the enormous diversity of customer requirements.

This is because the restructuring of supply chains and the introduction of new recycling technologies are major challenges that this transformation entails.<\/p><p>Companies often have to weigh up new production technologies with different energy requirements and emissions or different wastewater and waste generation for different production sites. In both procurement and distribution logistics, alternative transportation options and routes must be considered to reduce CO2 emissions.<\/p><p>With analytical optimization software such as OPTANO, you can find the optimal solution even for conflicting target values. One example of this is the choice of production locations: on the one hand, high costs for production facilities and emission certificates speak in favor of centralized production. On the other hand, a decentralized distribution of production sites means short transport routes and shorter distances to customers.<br \/>With the help of a<a href=\"https:\/\/optano.com\/en\/media\/glossary\/#glossar-mathematisches-modell\"> mathematical model<\/a> The measures that reduce energy consumption, achieve the desired reduction in emissions and at the same time reduce costs and thus take overall profitability into account are identified. In this way, all planned sustainability measures can be evaluated in terms of their impact and cost implications - and implemented in the next step.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6733b120 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6733b120\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55c17094 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"55c17094\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Postpone Earth Overshoot Day<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f075292 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f075292\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201eI am more interested in the future than the past, because I intend to live in it.\u201c This quote from Albert Einstein shows what is really important.
