Description
This study addresses the environmental regulations facing the manufacturing manager and examines the potential effect these regulations have on various aspects of operations and logistics management. A survey instrument directed toward Tennessee manufacturers will be utilized to explore the demands placed on managers by environmental regulatory requirements and determine the overall effect of compliance on the production process in terms of cost, efficiency, quality, safety and productivity. Although extrapolation to other industries may be limited, it is hoped that general `lessons learned' can be extracted for all managers.
