Green Component Manager Comes as a One-Stop-Shop Solution, Managing All Your Green-Compliance Needs With Ease & Accuracy

Los Angeles, California, - September 9, 2005 - Pacific Oaks Technology (POAKS), a leading provider of environmental compliance management solutions, has launched Green Component Manager (GCM) as the industry's first web-based enterprise solution of environmental compliance management for various standards such as RoHS, JIG, Lead-Free, as well as for customer-specific requirements like Sony ss00259 and Motorola W18. It also has direct access to a material composition database of more than 3.6 million commodity parts developed by POAKS to speed up the green compliance management at all levels of the supply chain.

New environmental regulations with severe penalties are being enforced, starting with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) taking effect from July 1, 2006. Hence, every product line must be re-qualified for parts and materials that are compliant with these regulations, for which manufacturers must implement the management processes of collecting, organizing, analyzing and reporting detailed substance data related to all their products before the due-date.

To simplify and speed up this entire compliance process, GCM, offers a complete comprehensive suite of tools to quickly establish the internal material composition database for parts used in all products, to easily analyze the product BOMs for green compliance and scan them for proper exemptions, to efficiently manage document trails on material composition for all parts, and to seamlessly exchange data externally with suppliers and internally with the ERP / PLM systems.
Green Component Manager's feature highlights:-
- Support various ways of importing material composition info for the parts used in the product BOMs, such as reading the survey forms through Excel files automatically, importing the survey forms in JGPSSI format, entering the material info manually, reading the survey forms in IPC 1752 format or downloading the material composition info for commodity parts from the common database with more than 3.6 million parts developed by POAKS
