Abstract
This paper presents the concept of environmental quality related to the supply line of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Such a concept should be made specific, measurable, applicable, consistent and traceable (SMACT). In this scope, the use of an environmental management system (EMS) is discussed and the concept of environmental performance is determined by research in a printed circuit board production facility. Environmental performance is determined using seven environmental indicators relating to material use, use of aiding compounds, water use, energy use, emissions, waste and packing material. Environmental performance can be embedded in the facility's EMS from a continual improvement perspective, and in the supply line from a benchmarking principle.
