- 2. Area of study Mountain Community: Alpi Lepontine 15 municipalities , 18.469 ha 6.844 ha of forest
- 3. On the desktop of a local policy makers…
- 4. Sustainability evaluation of Short supply chains Short supply chains, involving SME’s ? Reduced impacts (e.g. by transportation) ? Technical and economic feasibility Sustainability evaluation of short supply chains for wood-based products considering: Availability and accessibility of forest biomass (GIS-based evaluation of carrying capacity of forest ecosystems) Environmental impacts and efficiency of materials and energy flows (LCA, C-Lean) Management of economic and operational aspects of the supply chain (Lean Thinking and C-Lean) Socio-economic aspects related to local development (Sustainability indicators, extended LCA)
- 5. Make it happen .....
- 6. BOMO project two researching groups ( forest sector and sustainability) two consortia of SME’s (more then 250 SME’s) 1 province and several local authorities two partners devoted to communication a multidisciplinary multistakeholder project

- 10. Lean Thinking To make a local system competitive, it is necessary to reframe the entire production process, promoting efficiency and reducing wastes. Lean Thinking is a management model developed in the context of methods for quality improvement and processes engineering; it is aimed to promote efficiency and reduce wastes It identifies 5 principles which should lead any reengineering and reorganization process effort ( Value mapping, Value stream, Flow, Pull, Perfection ) “ C-Lean” enlarges the principles perspective to include environmental waste in the evaluation Logistic optimisation Sala S, Castellani V.

- 16. Some conclusion… to make sustainability operational Limits and rate of consumption have to be integrated in scenario development Importance of a widen involvement of whole supply chain and stakeholders Need for a strategy to simplify access to existing methodologies and tools Strenghten relationship with Public Authorities (local planning, strategic projects etc) Need of translation of the results of research into a usable format for the users, both policy maker. Local stakeholders Indirect effect and indirect indicators have to be taken into account Improvement of knowledge management to capitalize the existing knowledge as a key factor for improving capacity building of Local Communities.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
- #3: Mountain community in Alps, near Como and Lugano lake. Many constraints related to logistic of biomasses Local authorities received a number of proposal by private entities to enlarge use of biomass both for heat and electricity generation. At the moment, woody biomass is used mainly in domestic biomass heating systems, with a very low efficiency and a lot of fine particulate emissions. But, local authorities want to prevent area form resource depletion and wish to develop a decision support system to identificy and sizing biomass plants. Biomass can be used locally for both power and heat (CHP) generation but a specific attention has to be paid to : resource availability, biodiversity damage, global co2 and energy balance of the implemented technology Some relevant topics are identified as main threats for local development: low socio-economic development of mountain areas, low entrepreneurship, especially among young people, high level of urbanization in plain areas (related especially to tourism sector). For this reason, it was considered an interesting area for testing the methodology presented in this study.
- #8: Green marketing: two actors devoted to communication
- #11: Total quality managemnet ideas Pull : Design and provide what the customer wants only when the customer wants
- #17: guidelines for designers and producers, with schematic approach to overcome main categories of impacts and to use existing user-friendly tools and methodologies
