UWW Flow of Materials Study PDF Print E-mail
Students in UW-Whitewater's Management 761 - Supply Chain Systems completed a project to Study and Document the Flow of Materials on Campus Integrating the Environmental Sustainability Metrics.  UW-Whitewater will benefit from the example of applying sustainability measurements and purchasing data with supply chain management to baseline and then improve UW-W sustainability in the materials arena. The hope is to better quantify sustainability measures in a way that can then be applied to the other arenas that effect UW-W’s Total CO2 Footprint.  Informed Strategic decisions can be made regarding Footprint minimization efforts in all arenas.
