Questionaire

Quest. 1: Have you already carried out measures to increase material efficiency in your operations?

This question concerns the following

yes, we are continuously working on material savings
we have ideas available but implementation is proving difficult
our processes have not been changed for years
no

Quest. 2: Are you already taking resource efficiency aspects into account during product design and in construction?

This question concerns the following

yes, the effects of product design and tool construction on component resource efficiency are taken into account during all its life-cycle phases (manufacture, usage, recycling ...)
yes, we are attempting to minimise die addenda for each new component
no, but the subject has been recognised as a savings potential
no

Quest. 3: Have you already introduced measures to reduce lubricant use? help

This question concerns the following

Drawing and forming oils in sheet metal work are supposed to avoid both typical process defects such as cracks, scoring, dents, etc., and increase the tool life through reduced friction. But there are also liquids with potentially negative Impact on the environment, the health of workers and to the profitability of the company. A particular problem in the application of these oils consists in large quantities, which must be used due to effects such as dripping, overspray or displacement due to pressure. The goal of a responsible and efficient economic management is therefore minimizing the use of these liquid lubricants. [EfA NRW (2007)]

yes, we have been able to implement the approach of "as little as possible, as much as necessary" using a range of measures
we use a selective sheet oiling spray system
no

Quest. 4: Are you working on reducing your reject and reworking rates? help

This question concerns the following

Rework means all measures that are executed on a defective product, so a salable state is reached. Causes of rework consist for example in insufficient production documents, in unsafe manufacturing processes, improper handling of materials, components and products in manufacturing or transportation or inadequate packing.

yes, the reject rate is very low and we hardly ever require reworking
no, but we do know all about the rejection and reworking rates
the rejection and reworking rate is only improved when we introduce technical innovations
no, but we carry out reworking very thoroughly

Quest. 5: Are you working on continuous reduction of your energy deployment? help

This question concerns the following

Large electricity consumers are, for example, drives, the supply of process and auxiliary materials (esp. cooling lubricants), ancillary equipment such as compressors, air conditioners, fans, pumps, lighting and heating.

yes
no, but we know all about our energy deployment
no

Quest. 6: How are process optimisations accepted and implemented by the employees and how is information exchange between the departments carried out?

This question concerns the following

there are regular cross-departmental employee meetings in which the technical developments are monitored and process flows optimised
meetings covering product or process changes take place
there is no cross-departmental exchange of views
