Abstract: Abstract Production Logistics includes a series of processing activities in manufacturing systems. With following the trend of low carbon economics, the estimation and analysis of the carbon footprint in manufacturing logistics system concern the sustainable development of a company. In this paper, we first put forward a conception of carbon footprint from the manufacturing logistics system level, and further definite the boundary to estimate carbon footprint of the production logistics system. With the help of Kaya Identity, the four main factors are presented to describe the influence on the production logistics carbon footprint and a carbon footprint calculation method is provided. By the traditional factor analysis approach, the sensitivity of changes of each factor on the carbon footprint is discussed.
