LCA is a usefiil tool for measuring environmental sustainability and identifying environmental performance-improvement objectives [5]. Enviromnental sustainability is about making products that serve usefiil market and societal functions with less environmental impact than cmrently available alternatives. Moreover, environmental sustainabihty necessarily implies a commitment to continuous improvement in environmental performance. The key measurement tool for environmental sustain ility is life cycle assessment.

A altical distinction between maturity level 4 and maturity level 5 is the type of process variation addressed. At maturity level 4, processes are concerned with addressing special causes of process variation and providing statistical predictability of the results. At maturity level 5, processes are concerned with addressing common causes of process variation and changing the process to improve process performance to achieve the established quantitative process-improvement objectives.
