Abstract: | Purpose The matrix method for the solution of the so-called inventory problem in LCA generally determines the inventory vector related to a specific system of processes by solving a system of linear equations. The paper proposes a new approach to deal
with systems characterized by a rectangular (and thus non-invertible) coefficients matrix. The approach, based on the application
of regression techniques, allows solving the system without using computational expedients such as the allocation procedure. |
