Environmental-economic supply chain management from an Original Equipment Manufacturer's perspective: how can we make it happen?
Conference Record 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment (Cat. No.02CH37273), 2002Co-Authors: M H Nagel, A.l.n. StevelsAbstract:This paper presents an environmental-economic supply chain management approach for an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). An OEM procures components such as integrated circuits, connectors, etc. and produces telecommunication and/or consumer products at his own assembly sites or the assembly sites of so-called contract Manufacturers. When the products reach their end-of-life phase, the OEM offers to take them back from his customers for recycling. In these supply chains a measurable environmental performance of a supplier's production facility should become a major element. The environmental performance is based on the supplier's production behaviour and is determined using an environmental performance tool. From an environmental-economic perspective, management of suppliers, recyclers etc. using environmental performance tools is about more than the requirements for hazardous substances in products and the use of environmental management systems. Use of environmental performance tools drives the suppliers towards environmentally perfect production, as is illustrated in this paper using the extended assessment results of 25 printed board production facilities.

environmental supply chain management versus green procurement in the scope of a business and leadership perspective
International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment, 2000Co-Authors: M H NagelAbstract:This paper presents two different approaches, related to the integration of environment quality in the supply chain of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The approach of green procurement (GP) and environmental supply chain management (ESCM) are outlined and discussed from a business and leadership perspective. This means attention for such aspects as strategy, costs, short and long-term, awareness, products, processes and innovations from an environmental perspective. Furthermore, both approaches are compared and discussed in the scope of realization of a sustainable supply chain.

environmental quality environmental management systems and environmental performance related to procured printed circuit boards of an Original Equipment Manufacturer
International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment, 1999Co-Authors: M H NagelAbstract:This paper presents the concept of environmental quality related to the supply line of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Such a concept should be made specific, measurable, applicable, consistent and traceable (SMACT). In this scope, the use of an environmental management system (EMS) is discussed and the concept of environmental performance is determined by research in a printed circuit board production facility. Environmental performance is determined using seven environmental indicators relating to material use, use of aiding compounds, water use, energy use, emissions, waste and packing material. Environmental performance can be embedded in the facility's EMS from a continual improvement perspective, and in the supply line from a benchmarking principle.

applying value stream mapping to eliminate waste a case study of an Original Equipment Manufacturer for the automotive industry
International Journal of Production Research, 2016Co-Authors: Antonio Pedro Lacerda, Ana Raquel Xambre, Helena AlvelosAbstract:Since its beginning, lean manufacturing has built a worldwide reputation based on results related to production improvement and cost reduction in several companies. This management philosophy focuses on customer value creation through the elimination of production wastes. Lean methods and techniques have spread their scope from the automotive industry to a wide range of industries and services. This article presents a case study that describes the use of the lean tool value stream mapping in the production process of automotive parts for a major automotive company. At the beginning of the project, relevant data from the process were collected and analysed. Subsequently, the initial process was mapped, the related wastes were identified, and then future processes were mapped and financial results were estimated. The proposals were presented on kaizen meetings, the action plan was discussed and the decision regarding which option to choose was taken. Consequently, the Cycle Time and the level of the workforce were reduced, the process was improved and savings were obtained.

Remanufacturing in Brazil: case studies on the automotive sector
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2013Co-Authors: Yovana M. B. Saavedra, Ana Paula Bezerra Barquet, Henrique Rozenfeld, Fernando Antonio Forcellini, Aldo Roberto OmettoAbstract:This article presents an exploratory study on the current remanufacturing scenario and its main characteristics within the Brazilian Automotive sector. A review of the remanufacturing literature was performed regarding its evolution, benefits and the actors in the supply chain. Next, two case studies were conducted; one Original Equipment Manufacturer, which remanufactures the products they produce, and one independent Manufacturer, which remanufactures products and/or components Originally produced by the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The remanufacturing characteristics for each case were analyzed and described. The results show that the Original Equipment manufacturing company has more advantages when compared to the independent company, specifically regarding the relationship with used product suppliers, remanufacturing operation and marketing of the remanufactured product. However, cooperation between the Original Equipment manufacturing and independent companies can be created and this could bring better remanufacturing operations and increased profitability for both.
