LIFECYCLE 101 William Borges © William Borges, All Rights Reserved, 2013

THE GREEN EFFICIENCY MANDATE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CLOSED-LOOP LIFECYCLES OF ITS SERVICES AND PRODUCTS WITH LEAST COST, EFFORT AND RISK ACHIEVE THE ORGANIZATION'S PEOPLE, PLANET AND PROFIT OBJECTIVES SO, WHEN “JUNK” IS REMOVED FROM A PRODUCT OR SERVICE LIFECYCLE, ALL THAT IS LEFT ARE THE GOOD THINGS “EVERY SYSTEM IS PERFECTLY DESIGNED TO GET THE RESULTS IT DOES” TO TRULY “GO-GREEN” A BUSINESS MUST EVENTUALLY INTEGRATE THIS MANDATE INTO ALL OF ITS PRODUCT AND SERVICE LIFECYCLES IT CAN’T BE DONE OVERNIGHT! HERE’S THE ESSENTIAL IDEA BEHIND THE GREEN EFFICIENCY MANDATE: © William Borges, All Rights Reserved, 2013

LIFECYCLE IMPROVEMENTS TO ESSENTIAL INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING CONCEPTS SUPPLY CHAINS The movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption SUPPLY CHAINS The movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption LIFECYCLES The lifecycle concept expands the idea of value systems with two additional dimensions: A clear focus on the adverse impacts in upstream, current and downstream lifecycle phases All value-systems must be closed-looped through effective use of the 3R reduce/reuse/recycle concepts to manage wastes in every lifecycle phase LIFECYCLES The lifecycle concept expands the idea of value systems with two additional dimensions: A clear focus on the adverse impacts in upstream, current and downstream lifecycle phases All value-systems must be closed-looped through effective use of the 3R reduce/reuse/recycle concepts to manage wastes in every lifecycle phase VALUE ENGINEERING A body of operations management and industrial engineering techniques that identifies and removes unnecessary expenditures, thereby increasing value for producers and their customers VALUE ENGINEERING A body of operations management and industrial engineering techniques that identifies and removes unnecessary expenditures, thereby increasing value for producers and their customers VALUE SYSTEMS A value system includes all of the supply chains of an organization's suppliers, the organization itself, the organization's distribution channels, and the organization's downstream buyers and so on until the product or service has reached the end of its useful life VALUE SYSTEMS A value system includes all of the supply chains of an organization's suppliers, the organization itself, the organization's distribution channels, and the organization's downstream buyers and so on until the product or service has reached the end of its useful life ALL OF THESE CONCEPTS ARE FOCUSED ON GETTING THE JUNK OUT OF PRODUCTION AND SERVICE DELIVERY! © William Borges, All Rights Reserved, 2013
