Why was EMA Developed?
A. EMA was conceived in recognition of some of the
limitations of conventional practices for informing
environmental management decisions
A. insufficient tracking of energy, materials, and
wastes
B. “hiding” of costs in overhead accounts and
elsewhere in the accounting records
C. lack of data on future and less tangible costs in the
accounting records at all
D. Insufficient communications between the
accounting and other departments/staff, e.g.,
production, environmental, research…

Environmental Costs
Are Often Underestimated
A. Research Findings:
A. For every dollar of waste cost that companies
actually measure, another 2 to 3 dollars of cost are”
hidden” in the accounting records, or are not on the
books at all
B. Companies typically underestimate how much waste
really costs them, sometimes by several orders of
magnitude
C. This applies even to big, well-managed companies

Methods Planning
• Managers identify each production step and
methods for performing it.
• They reduce waste and inefficiency by examining
procedures in an approach called methods
improvement.
• They reduce waste and inefficiency by improving
process flows.
– A detailed description, often a process flowchart, helps
managers organize and record information.
• They attempt to improve customer service.
• Gantt Chart
– Breaks down projects into steps to be performed
– Specifies the time required to complete each step
– A Project Manager uses the Gantt chart to:
• List all activities to be performed
• Estimate the time required for each step
• Record the progress on the chart
• Check the progress against the time scale on the report
• Quality Control
– Taking action to ensure that operations produces
products that meet specific quality standards
– Requires establishment of specific standards and
measurements
