ENVIRONMENTAL LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS

The trend in industry
and with the EPA is to prevent wastes before they are created instead of
treating or disposing of them later. This book assists design/systems engineers
and managers in designing or changing a product or set of processes in order to
minimize the negative impact on the environment during its life cycle. It
explains the overall concept of environmental life cycle analysis and breaks
down each of the stages, providing a clear picture of the issues involved.
Chapters 1 and 2 provide an introduction and overview of the environmental life
cycle analysis process. Chapter 3 establishes the basis and methodologies
required for analysis through description of the basic framework, definition of
boundaries, use of checklists, data gathering processes, construction of models,
and interpretation of results. Templates and special cases that may be
encountered and how to handle them are addressed in Chapter 4. Chapters 5
through 9 go into detail about modeling, issues, and data collection for each
stage of the product life cycle. The final chapter provides a summary of the
various steps and offers ideas on how to present data and reports.

WASTE MINIMIZATION AS A STRATEGIC WEAPON

Waste Minimization as a
Strategic Weapon provides guidance on how to design, implement, evaluate, and
maintain a waste minimization program. It describes how waste reduction programs
can be successfully coordinated into company procedures, while simultaneously
improving that company's bottom line. It illustrates how to set goals and
metrics for a waste minimization program, how to determine the progress of such
a program, and how to calculate the true costs of environmental compliance. The
underlying assumption is that waste is a manageable resource, and can therefore
be turned into profit when managed appropriately.This comprehensive new book
ties together the various systems, listed below, into a cohesive waste
minimization program called Environmental Resources Management (ERM):
Effective Transition from

Taking a new product
from the design stage to large scale production can cause processes in many
companies to break down, contributing to the cost of manufacturing and while
increasing negative pressure on the products launch into the market. Effective
Transition from Design to Production provides planning techniques and guidelines
to lead a proposed new product smoothly through the proposal, design, and
manufacturing stages in an efficient and cost-effective way. Organized in
sequential steps, the text outlines the seven stages of the production process:
proposal, system design, detailed design, manufacturing planning, production
readiness, low rate initial production, and production.
