AbstractCorporations realize that environmental compliance represents a significant percentage of total manufacturing costs. Increasingly, they are also realizing the fact that pollution is a process inefficiency that needs to be addressed proactively‐not a necessary cost of business to be dealt with at the end of the manufacturing cycle. By integrating its pollution prevention programs with a total quality environmental management concept, The Foxboro Company has obtained extraordinary results in its efforts to cut pollution and manufacturing costs and, thus, improve organizational performance.
