Manufacturers of complex products such as automobiles, appliances, ships, and aircraft depend on a broad network of suppliers for parts and assemblies. The DfE Program is investigating how to utilize these networks to promote reduced exposures and risks in these small facilities. A pilot in the automobile industry is underway with the Saturn Corporation. For more information, contact John Sparks at 202 260-1682. Businesses can use this model to identify and pilot best practices as a means to adopting them.
Pilot projects focus on metal finishing and metal working.
