A Quality Protocol sets out criteria for the production of a product from a specific waste type. Compliance with these criteria is considered sufficient to ensure that the fully recovered product may be used without harm to human health or the environment and therefore without the need for waste management controls.
Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement approach that uses a collaborative team effort to improve performance by systematically removing operational waste [1] and reducing process variation. It combines the many tools and techniques that form the "tool box" of Lean Management and Six Sigma to increase the velocity of value creation in business ...
Quality of products produced – innovations and technological practices can reduce waste generation and improve the quality of the inputs in the production phase. Environmental responsibility – minimising or eliminating waste generation makes it easier to meet targets of environmental regulations, policies, and standards; the environmental ...
Waste Management (NYS: WM) carries $6.7 billion of goodwill and other intangibles on its balance sheet. Sometimes goodwill, especially when it's excessive, can foreshadow problems down the road.
Waste management or waste disposal includes the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. [1] This includes the collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process and waste-related laws, technologies, and economic mechanisms.
Here represents the square matrix of input coefficients, denotes releases (such as emissions or waste) per unit of output or the intervention matrix, stands for the vector of final demand (or functional unit), is the identity matrix, and represents the resulting releases (For further details, refer to the input-output model).
Cleaner production is a preventive, company-specific environmental protection initiative. It is intended to minimize waste and emissions and maximize product output. [1] By analysing the flow of materials and energy in a company, one tries to identify options to minimize waste and emissions out of industrial processes through source reduction strategies.
Statistical process control (SPC) or statistical quality control (SQC) is the application of statistical methods to monitor and control the quality of a production process. This helps to ensure that the process operates efficiently, producing more specification-conforming products with less waste scrap.
