Green Manufacturing
Green manufacturing is increasingly proven to have a positive impact on the bottom line. Growing legislative obligations and increased public pressure have served to increase corporate requirements to create sustainable manufacturing environments.
In this series of web seminars we consider the key solutions that enable companies to achieve competitive advantage, drive cost savings and create sustainable development using green manufacturing processes.
1. From Design to Disposal - Greening the Product Lifecycle
Date: 14 Sep 2010
Time: 3pm UK
With the green credentials of a product fundamentally determined before it even exists, effective lifecycle management provides the chance for every step of a product's design, development, build and ultimately decommissioning, to be planned with a green agenda in mind. Lifecycle planning also provides the manufacturer the opportunity to ensure that compliance obligations are met at every stage of a product's life and that the environmental impact of a product is managed and understood through it's life.
In this session, we ask:
- Whether striving for a green product lifecycle is financially viable
- How we can measure the greeness of a product's lifecycle
- How a greener product will be perceived by the end user
- How lifecycle management can fulfil potentially costly compliance responsibilities
- Why green lifecycle management is about much more that just waste reduction
2. Navigating a Path to Green Procurement
Date: 14 Oct 2010
Time: 3pm UK
3. Is a green supply chain realistic?
Date: 27 Oct 2010
Time: 3pm UK
Pressure on companies to reduce their impact on the environment continues to grow, and the supply chain remains a core focal point in achieving greener manufacturing. But with offshoring and a growing reliance on global manufacturing networks, has the notion of a green supply chain become an untenable concept? Is in fact, the notion of a 'green supply chain' a contradiction in terms?
Join this session to gain a perspective on what is possible, how it can benefit the bottom line, and gain insight from experts who regularly deliver green logistics solutions.
