Product 2 Manufacturing Facilities

2 Sphere B Product-Centric — AH Markets-Product 2, Product 2, Product 2 Manufacturing Facilities 

In this sphere, product considerations drive the supply chain design. Examples are commodities such as copper or aluminum. Locating processing operations close to the mine makes good sense. 

Another product-centric example is a software company. The brain tmst talent pool that develops and maintains the product determines location. For lower-priced software products, a trend is to globalize the operations of these businesses. Technology makes it easy to move software development to any region where the needed skills exist. So, globalization enables faster product development, lower development costs, and lower costs for product technical support. Higher-value software products, on the other hand, might retain a base for development and product support closer to the people who build the products. 

3 Sphere C Market-Centric and Vertically Integrated — Market 1, Product 1, Product 1 Manufacturing 

The demanding customer or customer segment is king in this sphere. Customer requirements place special demands on the supply chain for one of the products. This market-centric sphere takes into account Product I s unique requirements. Getting the supply chain right for customers is critical to success.

Inhalation and dermal exposure can occur during the manufacture and use of MDI. Workers and individuals in close proximity to the plant may inhale emissions from urethane foam production manufacturing facilities. 

Inhalation and dermal exposure can occur during the manufacture and use of TDI. Workers and individuals in close proximity to the plant may inhale emissions from urethane foam production manufacturing facilities. It can be present as a unreacted impurity in materials, for example, TDI has been found in a urethane foam fabric coating in a concentration of <200 mgkg h... 

Table 4.14 gives example recipes of compounds of various types of elastomer. The recipes should not be used as a formulary. They are just to give a flavor of the types of compounds developed by rubber compounders. Since many end-use products have different specifications, and different mbber-product manufacturing facilities have different types of equipment, compounds must be developed specifically with respect to both the requirement for the end-use applications and the manufacturing equipment that is available.

Supplier Notification. In 1989 and subsequent years, suppliers of facilities in SIC codes 20-39 are required to develop and distribute a notice if the mixtures or trade name products that they manufacture or process, and subsequently distribute, contain listed toxic chemicals. These notices are distributed to other companies in SIC codes 20-39 or to companies that sell the product to facilities in SIC codes 20-39. tf a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is not required for the mixture or trade name product, the notification must be in written form (i.e., letter or attachment to a MSDS). Otherwise, the notice must be incorporated into or attached to the MSDS for that product. The supplier notification requirement began with the first shipment of a product in 1989 and must accompany the first shipment each year thereafter. In addition, a new or revised notice must be sent if a change occurs in the product which affects the weight percent of a listed chemical or if it is discovered that a previous notice did not property identify the chemicals or the percentage by weight. For more information on supplier notification, see Appendix E. 

The following Is a hypothetical example of how one manufacturer might complete the toxic chemical release inventory reporting Form R. The facility information is purely fictitious and does not represent any known manufacturing facility. The example begins with descriptions of the facility (a lead-acid storage battery manufacturer) and of the production process at the faciiity. The completion of each section of Form R is explained and a copy of Form R, as it would be completed by this facility, follows.

Handling, storage, packaging, and delivery After-sales servicing Product safety and liability Purchaser supplied equipment These requirements may not apply to all chemical manufacturing facilities. Where they are required, they are most likely the partial responsibility of the marketing function and you should work with them to establish relevant priorities. 

Production of PV modules is still relatively small, but has been growing at a steady and significant rate. Global production in 1998 reached 150 megawatts peak. As costs come down and new manufacturing facilities are placed in operation, this number will grow rapidly. 

Type of actual products manufactured on the site, and information about specifically toxic or hazardous substances handled, mentioning the way they are manufactured (in dedicated facilities or on a campaign basis). 

Food products may include frozen produce, canned produce, pasta, sauces in jars, prepared meals or pizzas. It is important to work closely with the manufacturer, in working out the best types of ingredients to use, depending on the manufacturing facilities available. For example, frozen fruit and vegetable processors require a specific size and quality, pasta and bread manufacturers will have their specific requirement of the variety and grade of wheat. They require consistent quality and volume so as to be able to produce a consistent end product. As with restaurants, it is important to build a good relationship with your processor and to keep the manufacturer informed of any potential problems. This allows them to take other action to ensure their production does not suffer.
