The IBM Corporation"
This 12-page case analyzes IBM's search for innovative solutions to a
complex operational/environmental problem in a chemical etching process at
its Endicott, NY, facility. Decision analysis of the alternatives is

Case Study:
"3M: Waste Minimization"
Much has been written about performance measurment, but relatively little
is known about using environmental measures in industry. This 15-page
case illustrates non-financial performance measures in a manufacturing
environment, allowing the instructor to focus on either environmental or
perfomance measurement issues when several measures are being used.
Includes teaching note. [$2]
Video: "Second Victory at Yorktown"
This 31-minute video examines the joint Amoco/EPA cooperative project that
addressed the reduction of pollution from a petroleum refinery. As
background, it explains pollution prevention, risk analysis, and
decision-making; it then goes on to describe the expectations and concerns
of each of the participants and finally the results of the project. The
material is intended for survey courses on environmental issues, chemical
and industrial engineering classes, and business classes on operations
management and business law (voluntary vs. mandatory programs); it is also
suitable for business managers and engineers. [$22.00]
