Resumen

The management, design, and redesign of educative centers are performed usually by means of criteria that do not consider in detail the social, environmental, and financial impact of the daily activities in the institution. This fact may move away the design and management processes from daily reality, which can provide with a huge amount of data to be considered by human decision makers. The purpose of this paper is to describe a decision support system for the managers of a vocational training center that may help them make the best decisions for improving the effectiveness of the educative process. This tool arises as a combination of the Life Cycle Assessment methodology and the simulation of a Petri net model of the educative institution. © 2013 DIME UNIVERSITÀ DI GENOVA.
