Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA): A Green Management Tool (GMT) for Hotel Business
Abstract
MFCA's potential as a GMT in the hospitality industry has not been well demonstrated. Instead, the manufacturing industry takes the credit for the successful implementation of MFCA. This may be attributed to the industry's inaccurate information on resource consumption and management for strategic internal decision-making. Greening in hotels has predominantly been viewed from customers' perspectives to gain a competitive advantage and improve profits. MFCA is presented in this chapter as a GMT to achieve eco-friendly hotel business practices via informed resource utilization data. Natural resources such as water and energy are gradually becoming scarce commodities with waste generation on the rise and environmental sustainability of the hotel business threatened. Hotels face pressure from the global market to improve their sustainability performance by implementing green practices. In meeting the requirements of sustainable practice, green management's goal focuses on reducing, eliminating, and preventing adverse effects arising from environmental activities.
