3.26 Linking processes Procedure Let´s complete the process chain now by linking the processes. 60. Select the ‘Electricity grid mix’ process. You will notice a red bar that represents the input side of the process on the left hand side of the process box and a brown bar on the right that represents the output side of the process. 61. Click on the brown bar, drag your mouse pointer to the ‘Paper Clip Bending’ process and release it. You link these two processes with a power flow. In fact the electricity flow is automatically entered based on the fact that the single output from the electricity grid mix process is power and one of the input flows to the paper clip bending process is power. When linking processes GaBi checks for input/output matches. You can see now that the output dot from the power grid mix process is black, as is one of the input dots of the paper clip bending process. We can now connect the steel billet, steel wire, truck and paper clip bending processes. You will notice, when connecting the steel wire with the truck process the connect flows window opens. This window allows you to specify which output flow should be connected to which input flow. This occurs because there are no matching flows. In this case, GaBi is not sure whether the steel output should be connected to the cargo or diesel input. 52
Procedure 62. Connect the steel wire process to the cargo flow of the truck process now by selecting ‘Steel wire’ as the source and ‘Cargo’ as the sink. You might have noticed that the truck process has another open input flow called diesel. This now means, that you have to add another process called diesel to our plan and to connect it with our truck process. 63. Use the Autofind function to find the ‘diesel at refinery’ process. 64. Choose the one that is representative for Germany by selecting ‘DE’. 65. Double click it to add it to the plan. It will be connected automatically. Now the production process chain is complete. To complete the whole life cycle, you should add a process for the use phase and another plan for the End of life scenario. 53
