A Change in Perspective
“A recent study found the
average American golfer
walks about 900 miles a
year. Another study found
American golfers drink, on
average, 22 gallons of
alcohol a year.

That means, on average,
American golfers get about
41 miles to the gallon.

Kind of makes you proud…”

Five Things
Manufacturing
You Can Do

17

Is Lean Necessarily Green?

The contemporary emphasis on cycle time
compression, for example, may result in a multitude of
smaller shipments moving by fast, fuel-inefficient forms
of transportation. Environmentally responsible logistics
programs, by contrast, are more comfortable with
fewer, larger shipments moving by slow, fuel-efficient
forms of transportation.

Do You Track a Chain or a Link?

We talk about supply chains….

But how many of us
only know about our
supply links – our
immediate suppliers
and customers?

The future belongs to multi-tier visibility:

• What do our customers’ customers want?

• What are our suppliers’ suppliers doing?
19

If you don’t know
what your
customers’ Or will
customers or understanding
suppliers’ them be a
suppliers are sense of
doing, will they strength for
be like an anchor you?
for your
business?

If there is a problem with a consumer-oriented
product, the CPSC can ask for the history of any
product shipped to or within the US. The can ask
for information on who produced which components
and when – and what compounds or ingredients
were used in production. Are you ready to provide
this information this if you have a problem?

Example - Bottled Water

200 Billion Bottles of
Water Consumed
Globally
Only 23.4% Recycled

Packaging Initiatives
• Change shape - less surface area
• Less weight for plastic materials
• Reduce shrink wrapping on cases
• Eliminate corrugated cardboard
• Reduce size and weight of labels
• 100% recyclable PET materials

Transportation

Shipping by Train is Greener

If you are using trucks, can you
move your produce by rail instead?

Shipping by Ship is Greener
Have you considered coastal (Short
Sea) shipping instead of trucks?

Europe Leading the Way
Europe has many Short Sea Shipping routes.

Benefits to Short Sea Shipping:
• Reduced Road Congestion • Less vulnerable to high oil prices
• Increased road safety • Reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced noise pollution • Less reliance on imported fuel
• Reduced road and maintenance costs • Smaller carbon footprint

Green Benefits of Automation
Strengthening Your Competitive Advantage

Automating the exchange of documents and processes results in significant positive business
impact through reduced errors, manufacturing improvements, logistics improvements and
financial improvements. An added benefit is the sustainability aspect – automation helps
companies meet their corporate environmental goals.

Five Things You Can Do

1. Investigate Green IT options for you business
2. Carbon Management Systems (shareholder, government,
supplier/retailer requirements)
3. Supply Chain Integration
4. Investigate tools to support flexibility in operational models
(JIT/Lean vs Sustainable; Truck vs Train vs coastal shipping)
5. Sign up for a supply chain sustainability assessment

37

EDI & B2B e-Commerce
By removing the paper from supply
chain transactions, we could eliminate…

2.3 billion pounds of CO2, the equivalent of
taking 206,672 cars off the road for a year or
reducing gasoline consumption by 434 million
gallons or 8.9 million barrels of oil
1,386,667 tons of wood, the equivalent of 9.6
million trees
15.3 million BTUs of total energy
consumption, the equivalent of about 168,633
homes/year
7.6 billion gallons of wastewater, the
equivalent of about 11,553 swimming pools
911 million pounds of solid waste, the
equivalent of about 32,548 garbage trucks.
