Book Description

0471332844 978-0471332848 November 15, 1999 1
The only step-by-step guide to an exciting new chemical management and waste minimization methodology

Over the past decade, a revolutionary new approach to chemical supply has emerged that dramatically reduces chemical waste and chemical costs while improving company performance. Known as Shared Savings Chemical Management, it has already yielded astonishing results for several major North American manufacturing firms and numerous other companies. The first complete guide to this innovative chemical management methodology, Chemical Management acquaints you with Shared Savings principles and shows you how to put them to work in your company.

Thomas Bierma and Francis Waterstraat Jr. explore the environmental, health and safety, purchasing, inventory, tracking, waste disposal, and other major problems inherent to traditional chemical supply programs, and clearly explain how and why a Shared Savings Chemical Management program helps minimize or completely eliminate those problems. With the help of fascinating case studies, they demonstrate how Shared Savings techniques are currently being applied in five extremely successful plants belonging to GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Navistar International. What's more, they provide you with a complete, step-by-step blueprint for designing and implementing a Shared Savings program tailored to your company.

Chemical Management is an indispensable resource for manufacturing managers, purchasing managers, environmental managers, health and safety managers, and others charged with developing more effective chemical waste minimization strategies for their companies.

This review is from: Chemical Management : Reducing Waste and Cost Through Innovative Supply Strategies (Hardcover)
Bierma and Waterstraat have very accurately described a proven outsourcing process to reduce both chemical usage and chemical costs. The book is excellent for newcomers looking to use chemical management as a tool to reduce usage and costs but has enough information for those that are using chemical management to improve their programs. At any level the book offers "practical and proven" examples to illustrate implementation and documented the results. The authors have cleverly descibed the total life cycle costs associated with chemical use and why it make both economical and environmental sense to implement chemical management. If you are a user of chemicals or a supplier of chemicals this book challenges you to look outside of traditional buy/sell relationships and move towards outsourced chemical management. This book sets the stage for a rapidly growing industry that is no longer a trend but a very effective management discipline. It's a must for users and providers of chemicals.
