Successful Integration of Chemicals Management Into a GM Manufacturing Operations is a Result of:
• Paradigm Shift in the Approach to Supplying Chemical Services
• Cultural Change in the Way Suppliers are ReceivedInto the Manufacturing Team
Summary of Chemicals Management Success at General Motors

GEPGM Global Environmental Programs
History of Chemicals Management at GM
1987 First Engine Plant Chemicals Management Program Piloted in Romulus, Michigan- Program was Installed for Better Environmental
Compliance- Significant Process Improvements Were Realized- Chemical Acquisition Costs were Significantly Reduced- Program Successes Promoted Expansion to Other
Platforms1989 First Stamping Plant Program Implemented at Grand
Blanc, Michigan1991 Truck Assembly Plant Chemicals Management Program
Installed at Shreveport, Louisiana1994 Delco Electronics, Circuit Board Fabrication Plant 2003 Rationalize suppliers from 13 to 5
Re-bid in NA to a common scope of chemicals/services2006 Re-bid to a Global Template of chemicals/services

Current Status of Chemicals Management Programs in GM
Installed in most North American plants
Installed in plants in Mexico, Canada, Europe, Australia and South America
Current being installed in Assembly and Machining plants in Brazil and Argentina

Definition:
Under Chemicals Management, a single first-tier supplier provides all indirect chemicals and services, and provides an on-site laboratory staff, to manage all chemical processes within the plant, at a fixed price, with options for CPU, pass-through volume, and indexing.

Chemicals Management is a System,
and the Supply of Chemicals is only
part of the System

Goal is to recycle GM plant’s used oil (on-site or off-site) and re-use in the plant for cost savings and reduced environmental footprintLargest portion of used oil sent off-site to 2 managers:
Base oil reclaimer, used oil re-refiner for formulation into products to sell back to GM
GM (US and Canada) plants use 50% reclaimed or re-refined oil – 3.5M gallons/year (some plants >70% recycled oil use)Recycled oil purchase savings greater than entire cost of recycling programSignificant focus on on-site efforts for additional savings

Resource Management
EPA RRC_workshop_3/08.ppt 29
GEPGM Global Environmental Programs
Concept Overview:Resource Management is an effective system
which: (Benefits)
Reduces landfill waste and overall costs while increases recycling Increases supplier responsibility for total system management Provides incentive for suppliers to dispose of less, not moreEstablishes team relationship with supplierCommonizes proceduresManages changing technology
EPA RRC_workshop_3/08.ppt 30
GEPGM Global Environmental Programs
Resource Management
Definition:Rather than paying a waste contractor to dispose of materials, GM engages a supplier, or resource manager, as a partner inside the plant. A single resource manager in each facility uses on-site staff to handle all applicable aspects of the waste business– focusing on waste elimination first, then reduction and recycling, and finally disposal.The resource manager receives financial incentives for finding innovative ways to eliminate waste created during the manufacturing process.

GMGM’’s Road to Zeros Road to Zero
All by-products that come from ongoing, day-to-day manufacturing-related operations, must be taken into account as part of a landfill-free designation. This includes episodic/ periodic by-products, such as pit cleanouts. To qualify for a "landfill-free" status, facilities must handle by-products by any other method except placement in a landfill.
Zero Landfill
EPA RRC_workshop_3/08.ppt 49
