Product Lifecycle Insights: A Guide to Greener Product Lifecycles on December 10, 2008

VIEW RECORDED WEBSEMINAR

In this one hour session, you will learn:

This Web Conference is designed to be an executive’s user manual for successful supply chain transformation, SDCE research can conclude what “Green” really means. Through careful surveying, interviews, and assessment of key issues, it has separated ‘fact from fiction’ in terms of what truly impacts and motivates behaviors throughout global manufacturing networks. Conclusive recommendations can now be made as to how executives can quantify and qualify benefits, and segment issues, into programs that empower organizations to execute strategies that mitigate risks, ensure supply chain continuity, and enable competitive performance.

Professionals across all impacted operational functions will not want to miss this opportunity to transform this elusive topic into tangible business practices that can segment “Green” into explicit and implicit, business impacts – and segment these into executable programs to enable environmental performance and mitigate business threats.

Product Lifecycle Insights: Turbulent Green Supply Chains – Past, Present, and Future – December 4, 2008

VIEW RECORDED WEBSEMINAR

In this one hour session, you will learn:

It is a misconception that Green only impacts those that have eco-friendly product ambitions, aspirations of meeting social responsibility targets, or must comply with regulations like RoHS, WEEE, REACH and EuP.

Aerospace and defense, communications, or industrial equipment markets may seem once-removed from certain regulatory requirements and may not yet face serious environmental performance pressures. They cannot, however, ignore the critical supply chain changes that these issues impose and they are at arguably greater risk to its influences.

Join business leaders and co-authors of “Benchmarking Green”, Rory King and Andrew K. Reese. They will lead a panel of experts who will review the impact of environmental performance throughout product lifecycles, and what companies can do about short term volatility and the longer term way business will be done, resulting from Green.

VIEW RECORDED WEB SEMINAR

In this one hour session, you will learn:

Industry leaders discuss escalating pressures facing global manufacturing resulting from the EU REACH legislation which went into effect, June of 2007. This session will address the scope of REACH, as well as current compliance approaches and priorities seen across global manufacturing networks. Speakers will touch upon the industry’s adoption of a due diligence method that assesses a company’s current risk profile to REACH based on chemical articles, substances and preparations it currently uses or is exposed to. They will also describe how REACH brings about the need for a sustainable, actively-managed information framework to address immediate compliance reporting requirements, and prevent future risk of non-compliance as chemical value chains, regulatory legislation, and lists of substances of concern evolve.
