Environmental Quality in the Supply Chain of an Original Equipment Manufacturer
This paper approaches the supply chain from an Original Equipment Manufacturers perspective as the requesting party in the scope of environmental quality. From the customer as well as the suppliers perspective, aspects as price, delivery, service, technology and quality play an ongoing role, while environmental quality is a new aspect. The existing environmental situation in the supply chain is discussed, like the use of environmental management systems, the notions environmental performance and green procurement and environmental quality in relation to cost structures of production facilities. A new environmental supply chain approach is introduced based on the ecosupplier development cycle, which embodies six steps. The activation and continuation of the cycle is executed with Environmental Performance Tools, which collect the supplier data and generate an environmental performance per supplier. The environmental performance expresses the total production behaviour of the supplier. Based on the environmental performance suppliers can be ranked, compared, classified etc. and a proposed price reduction can be derived. The linkage between an environmental performance and a proposed price reduction transfers environmental quality into a business perspective. In this scope the result of a worldwide assessment of 25 printed board production facilities is discussed and a conclusion is drawn.
