Whereas each step has a unique objective, electronic tools allow the steps to be accompHshed totally by the creator, thus changing the roles and responsibihties across the printing supply chain.

The physical location of the toller can impact logistics, transportation and distribution issues. If you have a market need in a region of your countiy or a foreign location, a component to consider in selection of the successful toller is the capacity to provide support to the client distribution system or shortest supply chain. 

Similarly, hazardous raw material storage should also be minimized, with greater attention being given to just in time supply. Inventory reduction lowers inventory costs, while increasing inherent safety. In determining appropriate raw material inventories, the entire raw material supply chain must be considered. Will the supplying plant have to increase inventories to provide just in time service, and will... 

It is stated in the standard that the standard can also be applied throughout the automotive supply chain. This implies that vehicle manufacturers should apply the requirements to their own operations, but obviously such application is voluntary. In due course, ISO/TS 16949 will become a condition of any contract to supply products and services to the vehicle manufacturers. The supply chain includes vehicle distribution and dealers. However, it is not intended that ISO/TS 16949 be applied beyond the vehicle manufacturers at this time. 

Since 1994, the automotive industry in the USA and Europe has been operating quality system certification schemes that extended the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 10011, and EN 45012. One of these schemes was addressed by my QS-9000 Quality S /stems Handbook, published in 1996. In the same year the automakers of the USA and Europe formed the International Automotive Task Force (lATF) which, in cooperation with the technical committee of the International Organization of Standardization (TO 176), produced ISO/TS 16949. Use of and registration to this new standard is currently voluntary. It is intended that following the first revision to incorporate ISO 9000 2000, the ISO/TS 16949 certification scheme will be mandated by all major vehicle manufacturers on their Tier 1 suppliers. As a result, the standard will be cascaded along the supply chain, ultimately reaching all suppliers to the global automotive industry.

Therefore, combinations of methods will be needed that, over time, will bring about the desired change. These may include the early substitution of one fossil-derived product or one intermediate by one that is renewable-derived. Ultimately, over time, whole new supply chains using only renewable feedstocks will arise. 

In addition, other questions arise is sufficient land area available to grow crops in sufficient quantity Can the needs of such agro-industrial processes for water be met To what extent will encroachments on wilderness limit our ability to protect species biodiversity Bearing in mind the seasonal, climatological and disease effects on biomass production, how can the supply chain for materials, food and energy respond to possible intermittency... 

Redesign the business system. Create a new business model in which product, production system, delivery system, supply chain and customer care may all be changed. 

Chemical companies are also weak at looking for opportunities downstream of their own operations. Whilst most would recognise the need to understand the business of their customers, few look further downstream and try and understand their customer s customer. However, if your materials can reduce energy consumption or waste production in a final product, you reduce the costs further downstream and potentially change the value distribution across the entire supply chain. If you understand how your products are used downstream, you can share that value with your customers.

The goal of the LCA is to understand the impact of the existing fluid milk supply chain on energy usage and GHG emissions, as well as the other impact categories provided that data are available, and to use the information as a roadmap for improvements to the process. The LCA also provides an environmental benchmark to identify points where improvements to the fluid milk supply chain may be made. 

FIGURE 2.3 System boundaries for lifecycle analysis of the fluid milk supply chain. 

A complete inventory analysis is conducted for each segment of the fluid milk supply chain to account for all the resource inputs and the primary and secondary sources of GHG emissions (CO2, CH4, and N2O) to air, water, and soil. The resource inputs include raw materials and energy. Their impact on GHG emissions are secondary sources of GHGs. The primary sources of GHG emissions are associated with farm operations. 

Because dairy cows or calves are culled for meat production, four different methods to allocate the enviromnental emissions at the farm and outside the boimdary of the fluid milk supply chain may be used (Cederberg and Stadig, 2003). The allocation method assumes, (1) no allocation is used and only milk production impacts the enviromnent ...
