Procedure We will now add this newly created plan to the Life Cycle Steel Paper clip Plan. 81. Drag and drop the ‘End of Life Paper Clip’ plan from the DB manager onto the already open ‘Life Cycle Steel Paper Clip’ plan. 82. Connect the ‘Use Phase Steel Paper Clip’ process with this plan. 3.28 Creating a closed loop Since the recycling of our End of life plan produces steel and has the output flow ´steel billet´, you can model a circular material flow within the paper clip life cycle by connecting the output flow of our end of life plan with the steel wire production process. 83. Connect the ‘End of Life Paper Clip’ plan to the ‘Steel wire’ process now. You can see that the amount of steel that is provided by the primary steel billet production decreases by the amount of steel that is provided by the recycling plan. Congratulations, you have now completed modelling the life cycle of a paper clip! 56
3.29 Adding comments Procedure You can adjust the visual appearance of our plan. For example, clicking on a flow arrow, you can redirect it by moving the black markers on the corners. With a double click you see the properties of that flow and can change the colour of the flow arrow in the plan editor. You can also add comments to your model. This is only a visual element and does not affect the calculations made using the model. Clicking on the Comment icon inserts a new comment into your model. You will notice the comment editor opens where you can select the background colour and font colour as well as entering the text. 84. Click on the ‘Comment’ button and choose a background colour for the box and font colour 85. Write the comment: ‘This model contains some non representative assumptions.’ 86. Click ‘OK.’ 87. You can now resize and move this box as if it were a process. You can now play around with your model and resize, relocate and redirect your processes and flow arrows to make it look the way you prefer. Remember that your model should reflect the real life situation. 88. Save and close your plan. You have now completed modelling. 57
