Blending Manufacturing Operations With The Surrounding Environment “It’s Not Easy Being Green—Maintaining Environmentally Friendly Supply Chains in the Electronics Industry.” Kevin Butt, General Manager Chief Environmental Officer Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Environmental & Safety Engineering Production Engineering Division April 19, 2006
2
Outline Organization Structure For Sustainability Sustainability Concepts for Manufacturing Application to Automobile Manufacturing Conclusions
3
Environmental Front Wheel Drive Supplier Profit Customer Environmental Corporate Citizenship Safety & Health One Toyota Self Reliance Business Process Kaizen Supplier Enhancement Cost Reduction Customer Satisfaction All Team Members People Development
4
2010 NA Environmental Vision environmental leadership/sustainability To become the most admired/respected automobile manufacturer by demonstrating continuous environmental performance improvements resulting in environmental leadership/sustainability
5
How do we get there? Environmental Management Systems ISO 14001 Certification Enhanced Environmental Management System Committed Team Members and Management Professional Environmental Staff
6
Enhanced EMS & “Internal Auditing” Level of EMS ISO14001 Requirement Before ISO certification After ISO certification Achieve Zero violation/complaint = TOYOTA Requirement EMS did not prevent violations/complaints or did it assure performance improvements High (Relatively) Need to achieve Hoshin Targets = Enhance current EMS Enhanced EMS Low

Sustainability Concepts Renewable Resources Recyclable Resources Assimilative Capacity
9
Renewable Resources To be considered Renewable, resources must regenerate at or greater than the rate that they are consumed: Oil => not renewable only because rate of regeneration is less than rate of consumption Biomass => may be renewable depending upon how it is used
10
Recyclable Resources Basic extraction of non-renewable resources is minimized through reprocessing and reuse many times Aluminum Iron/steel Many Plastics Other Chemicals
11
Assimilative Capacity Return to the natural environment is done without disruption by controlling the time, location and quantity of the release Requires careful study and control to establish proper balance
12
Automobile Manufacturing Applications Sustainability Initiatives for Automobile Products Sustainability Initiatives for Automobile Manufacturing Byproducts Innovative Business Initiatives to Improve Sustainability
13
Sustainability Initiatives for Automobile Products World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Sustainable Mobility Project Fuel Economy Improvement Vehicle Recycling After Sales
14
Sustainable Mobility Project The Sustainable Mobility Project, a sector project of WBCSD, includes participation from 12 auto/energy companies globally The project is tasked with developing a vision for sustainable mobility 30 years from now and identifying the pathways to get there
15
Sustainable Mobility Project Workstreams Include: Sustainability indicators Vehicle design and technology Fuels Infrastructure Demand for personal mobility Demand for goods and services mobility Policy measures Urban and Long Distance mobility etc.
16
Sustainable Mobility Project Factors for Sustainable Mobility: Access to mobility User costs Travel time Reliability and comfort Safety Security Greenhouse gas emissions
17
Sustainable Mobility Project Factors for Sustainable Mobility (cont.): Impact on the environment and public well- being Conventional emissions Impact on eco-system Transport-related noise Resource Use Transport-related energy use and security Transport-related land & material use
18
Sustainable Mobility Project Factors for Sustainable Mobility (cont.): Impact on public revenues and expenditures Equity Implications Prospective rate of return to private business
19
Fuel Economy Improvement Vehicles are the largest consumer of petroleum fuels in the world Increasing Engine Efficiency Variable Valve Timing High Efficiency Diesel Improving Power Transmission Improved transmission technologies Efficient subsystem design Improved Aerodynamics
20
Vehicle Recycling After Sales Target of achieving 95% Vehicle Recovery Rate: Develop dismantling technology Develop recycling/recovery technology Use recycled material Material selection with consideration for recycling Use renewable resources Expanded reuse of parts
21
Vehicle Recycling After Sales Target of achieving 95% Vehicle Recovery Rate (cont.): Reduce substances of environmental concern >90% reduction in Lead usage/vehicle FY2011 target to eliminate lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium globally Cadmium – Eliminated the cadmium paste used in some electronic parts Toyota developed mercury-free discharge lamps and began using them in the Porte Develop recyclable structures for vehicles
23
Sustainability Initiatives for Manufacturing Byproducts Global Warming Prevention Reducing Substances of Environmental Concern Reducing Waste Conserving Resources
24
Sustainability Initiatives for Manufacturing Byproducts Note: Data for 10 Japan Production Plants and Logistics Operations in FY2004
25
Global Warming Prevention Heat Recovery Non-production energy use reduction Improved efficiency of utility systems
26
Reducing Substances of Environmental Concern R&D for new paints and solvents High efficiency process technologies Improved production line operating techniques
27
Reducing Waste Material substitution Improve process technologies Reuse material in the same process Recycle to beneficial reuse Recover energy
28
Earth Care Center
29
Conserving Resources Reduce primary raw materials Reduce Water Use: recycling systems low flow/no flow processes recover condensate
30
Biotechnology and Afforestation Business Began in 1998 with only seven members Areas of activity:
32
Conclusions Sustainablility concerns exist at all stages of manufacturing Environmental Management Design Production Sales/after sales Incremental improvement is making progress in many areas Innovation and risk will lead to new technologies and dramatic advances toward sustainable future
