From Metal Powder Industries Federation
For many years, market conditions and competitive pressures have changed manufacturing processes and management practices, resulting in "programs" such as QS, Lean Manufacturing, TQM, and globally ISO. In many cases customers have insisted that such certifications be achieved by their suppliers as an indicator of their "worthiness" to be a supplier. Today another management concept has surfaced and has strongly resonated with an audience wider than any previous community of interested parties. "Green" is a common term for the current concept, but a more concise and perhaps more balanced designation is "sustainable manufacturing."
