Greetings:
I have query for those of you involved with ISO14001 certification.
With regards to the ISO 14001, I wanted to know if it was possible to
certify only one part of the process within a plant (not the entire plant).
Very often in a plant, there are two or more processes (e.g. a metal
recycler has the melting operations as well as the rolling operations). The
melting operations as well as the rolling processes are independent of each
other inasmuch as the intermediate product is a tradable commodity. Hence,
the certification of the last processing stage would be the most critical as
the products from this process can then carry the certification mark.
While the above may be the most optimum from a company's view, presumably
there are other items which will need to be addressed, including the
expected influence of the manager and top management for the last process on
the other processes. There would also be some problem in the definition of
boundary limits.
I am interested to know if any company has attempted such a move and the
results.
Thanks for any comments you can provide.
Turlough
