Becoming Clean and Green on the Lean: New Integrated Footprint Tracking

Papros Inc. last week announced a new module of enhanced features for its flagship product MRPRO. The new module enables the integrated material composition and carbon footprint tracking for products that addresses the entire lifecycle of the product and uses principles of lean sigma in product optimization. Advanced analytical methods and visuals complement the robust computations. The program is economical and easy to use.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) June 22, 2009 -- Green leader Papros Inc. last week announced and showcased the advanced features of its integrated product level footprint tracking MRPRO that can focus on the entire lifecycle of products and enable companies, their clients and consumers to be able to make well informed decisions. Aggregation and rollups of data across the supply chain, right from the very basic materials, is the central method for this process supported by supplier surveys, enabling compliance with global regulations, such as Montebello Agreement, REACH, RoHS, RoHS-like (China, Korea), JMOSS, WEEE, EuP, Green Chemistry Initiative, Extended Producer Responsibility and other existing and emerging regulatory regimes such as for greenhouse gases. For non-composition related rollups, estimation methods are also supported and data is made available for that.

For carbon footprint, for example, MRPRO offers direct comparison of a product's total production footprint, the shipping footprint, the usage footprint and an end-of-life footprint, and also cross comparisons against other products. This method allows for the assessment of alternates by evaluating various scenarios. Additionally, drilling deep into the supply chain information offers analytical perspectives on every part and subassembly. Lean Sigma principles are applied to optimize product design.

MRPRO offers the spreadsheet interface for product footprints in addition to industry and W3C compliant XML formats for the data. By easily exchanging data on the web or the desktop, the entire web is the database for MRPRO and the spreadsheet is the interface. Compliance documents can be kept in a signed XML format that offers an excellent compliance trail for audit purposes.
