CZARP: A taxonomy for EROM
This is a framework that asks the firm five questions:
Camp, Zone, Activities, Remedial, Performance

Q1: What do we mean by Camp?
Camp one- Quasi-Criminal
Camp 2 - env constructionist
camp3- Env astute
Camp4- Env angel

Q2 How is the Env being adversely affected?
*The enviroment is adversely affected when bad things happen to:
1. The planet's air, water, and land masses.
2. The planet's humans.
3. The planet's other animal specie.
4. the planet's plant life.
* Can you think of anything bad that happens beyond these four zones?
* How do you want to define bad?
* Is change bad?

Q3 What type of activities causes bad consequences?

1. Product Design Activities
a. Using components that cause bad consequences
b. Having features that add no end-user value.
c. Designing energy effic product
2. Product transformation Activities
a. Using more resource than necessary
b. Generating water or unwanted by-product
3. Post-sale Consumer Use Activities
a. Importantly discarding of product we use
b.

Q4: what remedial actions can we use to address the adverse affects?
Rather than jumping to a solution, EROM first tries to explore possible causes and consequences.

Prolem- Too many spent wooden pallet
Remedial action - Require2-way pallet use, Use other raw material such as plastic or metal
Possible Consequences - lost trucking effic. Use high cost lumer, maycost more homless can not use to keep warm.

Q5: What performance Metrics Might Ensure Progress?
If you don't build these into the standards of performance- little progress is likely.
Consider Motorola's Three Phase Approach
1. Business goals
2. Process goals

ERO and the OM Manager
*Problems associated with going green:
-The common belief that it will raise cost.
-ERO-driven investments are not good investments.
-ERO factors must be designed into the product, the process, and the supply chain
-Poor perforamnce metrics (including accoungting)
-Lean Mfg and JIT maybe counter-Green

*ERO tools
- Waste Streaming
- Cradle to gave process flow analysis
