Abstract
With the emergence of Industry 4.0, the concept of sustainability has been adopted in many manufacturing companies. This concept aims to integrate management systems by respecting all aspects of sustainability, including the aspect of environmental impact assessment of the life cycle of a product that integrates enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Since the collection of information can be exploited from an environmental point of view, this paper has gone even further in trying to describe the architecture and application of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and show that more than 53.33% of the full data and 24.23% of the partial data are available in the ERP systems, which serves as a basis for the realization of the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) phase, the most time and energy consuming phase. The realization of LCA is beneficial to organizations to the same degree as a commercial discipline that will be able to focus on ERP data and reduce the collection of data from other sources.
