Abstract

The type of tools for sustainability assessment is manifold and is growing consistently to meet more and more of society's needs. Tins paper presents a review and evaluation study of existing assessment tools collected from a variety of sources. The aim is to clarify the difference between those sustainability assessments tools and increase factory planner's awareness towards the different tool properties. In this work representative assessment tools are evaluated and described with respect to their specific focus and benefits as well as drawbacks. Based on that a research gap is identified and further research directions can be derived.
