Improve P2 Plan Quality • Renew sector expert system and update sectors website • Make a set of standard estimates for HS constituent content • Some facilities have both difficult inventories and attribute low value to inventories, e.g. autobody facilities
Improve P2 Plan Quality • Improve guidance on how to conduct an inventory of hazardous substances • Create automated audits for P2 plans so that most errors are caught before review begins
Lean Manufacturing and Environment • Pilot project funded by EPA PPG grant and BW Pilot Projects • Partnership with Washington Manufacturing Services (WMS) • ECY dovetails environment into WMS’ Lean
Lean Manufacturing and Environment • Objectives • Explore and document how environmental considerations (e.g., risk & waste) add value to Lean Mfg. efforts • Reduce environmental impacts and costs • Promote design of a product / process to reduce toxics • Explore collaboration between Ecology and WMS
Lean & E Pilot Projects • Located in 3 different regions • Two post-pilot workshops • Ross & Assoc. and PPRC are documenting results
Lean & E Design Pilots • Objective • Reduce toxics footprint by re-designing a product or manufacturing process using Lean tools with environmental emphasis • Currently in process • At least one pilot
