LCAPIX Module Software for Life Cycle Assessment
Welcome to the KM Limited home page. We provide a methodology for integrating Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Activity Based Costing (ABC) within a corporate environment through our Life Cycle Assessment Process Index Software, LCAPIX.
Each municipality, organization, or corporation which utilizes, produces,
or disposes a product has a range of strategic options regarding environmentally
responsible and efficient performance. The LCAPIX Module allows
for a quantitative measurement which can indicate the potential burden
of any product. Strategic comparisons of product and process choices can
then be fairly assessed.
