Systems of Environmental Compliance

Our primary focus is helping manufacturers and their suppliers develop a long-term, global environmental compliance strategy. Such strategies include:
  Global scope - a single program to manage all the environmental requirements worldwide: regulations like ELV, RoHS, REACH and CPSIA, in countries such as the EU, US, China, Japan and Korea, through all changes in scope and exemptions
  Business focus - integrating environmental compliance into all your core business functions: research and development, product design, manufacturing operations, supply chain development, shipping and receiving, contracts, accounting, and customer support
  Proactive approach - mapping the substances and materials in your products: providing a baseline for routine product life-cycle planning, and supplying the prerequisite knowledge for responding to newly implemented regulations/restrictions
  Systems implementation - putting systems in place to manage the required materials data for your products/manufacturing processes, automating the collection and distribution of data in the manner that is most cost-effective for your company, and streamlining the generation of any required reports
  Risk management - putting processes in place to manage product risks arising from materials that are prohibited, restricted or otherwise regulated, and the resulting changes within the supply chain, including quality control and component obsolescence


Our consulting engineers, Michael Wurzman and David Roeber, have deep experience in the automotive, medical devices, electronics and semiconductor industries. Coming from strong manufacturing backgrounds, they are able to advise you in industry best practices from "lessons learned".
