2022 |
Source Reduction:: S24: Modified or updated equipment or layout
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management |
S24: New Surface Mount Line with more efficient outcomesNew through-hole solder machine with more efficient outcomes |
2021 |
Source Reduction:: S24: Modified or updated equipment or layout

S24: Micro Control took out of service the most inefficient of the three surface mount lines in the middle of 2021. New, more efficient machinery is being installed in early 2022. Source Reduction - Increased financial benefit for the companay based on improved efficiency leading to decrease in amount of raw materials needed. |
2020 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T01: Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
Barriers: B6-Barriers to P2 B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas |
Barriers to P2: B6 - Pollution prevention previously implemented - additional reduction does not appear technically or economically feas - Our company has recently replaced all but one of our automated soldering machines. This has been reported in detail, with purchase dates, in our Pollution Prevention Plan. We continue to add updated improvements and firmware on our existing machines when they become available. We also are looking at replacing the one older machine in the near future. Therefore, most technical improvements have been made and large technical improvements are not available in the near future. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Our company has continued to substitute no-lead solder when customers approve. This has resulted in strong reductions in the percentage of lead vs. no-lead that our company processes. This year our percentage was 87% no-lead solder vs. 13% solder with lead. This ratio has been improving over the past 5 years and continues in an encouraging direction. This is a goal for our sales force. |
2019 |
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) |
W52: We purchased a more efficient through-hole solder machine Source Reduction - This decision was made to speed the process of through-hole soldering and to use raw materials more efficiently, all of which were financial considerations |
2018 |
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T05: Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program) Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T03: Materials balance audits |
W52: New, more efficient, selective soldering machines were purchased in RY2018. However, these will not be online for production until the first months of RY2019 so they are not a factor in the current reporting year. Source Reduction - The main motivation for the purchase of new equipment was the estimated positive financial effect for the company of operating more efficient equipment |
2017 |
Source Reduction:: W52: Modified equipment, layout, or piping[-5-14%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other
|
W52: Purchased new surface mount equipment. Source Reduction - Company purchase based on increasing efficiency of manufacturing process |
2015 |
