Indicators and Success Measures

Lucent Microelectronics
XL Project
One Page Program Description
Identification of Indicators and Measures

Note: This program would apply to all Microelectronics facilities.

Microelectronics proposes to develop new indicators and success measures for EMS programs.

Indicator/Measure

What it Measures Comments

1. Continuous improvement Whether Microelectronics is achieving continuous improvement through the EMS. This relates to several elements of the July 25 draft matrix in the areas of air, water quality and use, waste generation and reuse, chemical use and recycling and other Aspects. The Microelectronics EMS, through the EnAcT Team, will develop production unit factors for each of these areas to allow measurement of improvements over time.

2. Pollution prevention/DfE The emissions, discharge, waste and other improvements resulting from pollution prevention/DfE activities. Microelectronics will develop processes and/or metrics for measuring the benefits and costs associated with pollution prevention/DfE gains.

3. Life cycle analysis The effect of life cycle analysis on design criteria, use, transport, etc. of product families. This would allow a measurement of the success of life cycle analysis as a tool to reduce negative environmental effects of products, as well as reduce product costs.

4. Full cost accounting The effect of full cost accounting on design criteria, use, transport, etc. of product families. This would allow a measurement of the success of full cost accounting as a tool to reduce negative environmental effects of products, as well as reduce product costs.

5. Product take back The effect of product take back on design criteria, use, transport, etc. of product families. This would allow a measurement of the success of product take back as a tool to reduce negative environmental effects of products, as well as reduce product costs. Indicator/Measure What it Measures Comments

6. Transferability within the business (domestically and internationally). The success of Microelectronics business-wide in its effort to transfer innovative management techniques. This would simply tell whether successful programs are being transferred internally within the business. This measure also would identify barriers to successful transference.

7. Transferability to suppliers, customers, local businesses (domestically and internationally). The success of Microelectronics in its effort to transfer innovative management techniques to suppliers, customers and local businesses with which it might partner. This indicator would identify both successes and barriers in the transference of programs to communities and non-Microelectronics companies.

8. Sustainability progress. Whether all the programs are making progress toward the sustainable corporation. This is more an analysis of the above indicators rather than a new measure.
