EMSigmaPro™ Launched for Product Environmental Lifecycle Management

Papros Inc. launched EMSigmaPro™, which consists of a series of analytical tools for performing Product Environmental Lifecycle Management using principles of Lean Six Sigma. Papros Inc.’s solution differentiates itself from other offerings in the market in that EMSigmaPro™ goes beyond water, energy and greenhouse gases and can, in fact, include other parameters such as the wastes going to landfills, or other modes of disposal as compared to reuse and recycle, or those incinerated or for that matter any parameter that the user may choose to add to the analysis. This offering is synergistic with Papros Inc.’s two other offerings - product content and footprint reporting offering MRPRO™, and EMSPRO™, which is a complete enterprise level environmental management system offering.

MRPRO supports Design for the Environment by exchanging product footprint, obsolescence information and due diligence communications in the realm of Montebello Agreement, REACH, RoHS, RoHS-like (China, Korea), JMOSS, WEEE, EuP, Green Chemistry Initiative, Extended Producer Responsibility and other existing and emerging regulatory regimes. MRPRO enables compliance by full support for data conforming to EIA, JEDEC, JIG (supports the latest JIG), IPC, SAE and ASTM’ standards.

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.

EMSPPRO™ is a complete environmental management enterprise level system that tracks and performs complex analytics on the facility’s direct and indirect use of raw materials (including the full cradle-to-point-of-delivery footprint for the raw materials and parts/components), fuel, electricity, water, and creation of multiphase wastes-into air, or discharged/disposed as liquids and solids in all activities of the enterprise-be it manufacturing, shipping and receiving including global inter modal transport and warehousing, facility overheads, business travel, employee commutes and any other specific activity that the user may choose to add to the subjects of focus on a for an enterprise.
