摘要:

AbstractBeyond the avoided costs for noncompliance lies an area of economic opportunity. Strategic approaches are necessary to tap these opportunities, but only recently have the principles of Total Quality Management been considered for environmental applications. This article identifies common principles in strategic environmental planning and thematic bridges to TQM philosophies. By applying TQM to strategic environmental planning, an environmental manager can thus address both avoided cost and environmental opportunity to improve overall corporate strategic advantage.

This case study describes the application of the quality process to environmental management at Xerox and shows how a focus on prevention, employee involvement, teamwork, and the use of quality principles and tools can improve profitability for any company.

摘要:

AbstractToo often in the past, public relations professionals were consulted only when there was a problem—or a crisis—that needed explaining. The author provides a model for a process‐oriented approach to environmental communication that focuses on building and sustaining positive public relationships over time. The key is dialogue with critical publics as well as links with other important actors in the environmental drama that can help position you as part of the solution, not the pr

摘要:

AbstractOften a management theory fails in practice not because the theory is without merit, but because it was improperly applied. The integration of TQM into plant operations can be accomplished through a four‐step circular process: (1) analysis and identification, (2) design, (3) implementation, and (4) evaluation and adjustment. The author outlines these steps in detail and discusses some practical parameters that should be considered before embarking on a TQM program, including the current management philosophy, plant size, and time managemen

摘要:

AbstractRisk assessments are fast becoming an indispensable tool for both government and industry. Unfortunately, organizations required to perform risk assessments often lack the ability to either generate or critically evaluate the quality of risk assessment reports and must rely on contractors to tell them what they need and whether they have received it. The authors advocate a proactive approach to contractual risk assessment management in which a client team directs the production of the report and maintains quality control at each step in the process.

摘要:

AbstractOne key development in environmental software is the adoption of a common electronic language for exchanging EH&S data. The ANSIX12‐based data management tools offer compatibility across platforms within the company as well as between different companies. The X12 syntax makes it easy for environmental managers to integrate functions more closely with either materials management or quality management system
