LCA's
One of the most important steps in performing a LCA is establishing the system boundaries. The person performing the LCA (or more likely the person paying for the LCA) must decide where to set the boundaries. In other words, what to leave in and what to exclude. These decisions may be made with a view toward expediency, cost, time or availability of data. When reading a LCA, I am always interested in where the system boundaries were placed in order to put the data and conclusions presented in the proper context.
