Abstract

Global warming, CO2 emissions, depletion of raw materials, climate change, etc. represents the most pressing issues to be solved for the whole world community. Nowadays, through a “systemic planned management” is possible to improve, albeit in part, environmental criticisms in particular by acting on the efficiency of logistics flows of materials (input) of business processes. The positive benefits of systemic acting/thinking/designing are given substance thanks to a significant reduction of logistics costs, decrease of CO2 emissions and diminution of unnecessary movement of goods from large distances (which cause, among other things, the wastage of non-renewable energy resources), a greater traceability of materials and packaging components and their suppliers, as well as a higher quality of the entire supply-chain. The systemic methodology (here presented via a specific case study: an Italian delicatessen shop) promotes precisely this kind of management by creating synergistic and territorial clusters of small/medium enterprises (SMEs) in which local companies/suppliers, geographically close one another, work together to achieve economic and environmental benefits both immediate and tangible. In the end, by putting into practice the systemic methodology, it is also fostered the best use of resources already on site and the promotion of the local economy by exploiting territorial potentialities.
