Chemical Management: Overcoming Barriers to Diffusion

Chemical management services (CMS) is an innovative alternative to traditional chemical supply, resulting in lower chemical costs and reduced chemical waste. However, we estimate that only 3%-6% of applicable companies have adopted CMS. This report identifies the most significant barriers to diffusion and provides a "Top 10" list of recommendations for strengthening and expanding the CMS industry. These 10 priority activities were derived from a comparison of the CMS and chemical industries (Part 1 of this report), and from an evaluation of the factors governing market demand for CMS (Part 2). The "Top 10" list represents broad initiatives for CMS growth; specific marketing activities must be developed by CMS suppliers, industry associations, and other organizations, such as WMRC, that seek to accelerate diffusion of CMS.published or submitted for publicatio

Innovative Chemical Supply Contracts : A Source of Competitive Advantage

Companies using an innovative chemical supply relationship called Shared Savings have radically changed their approach to chemical management and found a way to turn their chemical supply relationships from being a headache and a burden into a source of profit and competitive advantage.

Under the financial incentives for Shared Savings, suppliers actually make more money by helping manufacturers use less chemical. This booklet explains the basic elements and benefits of Shared Savings. Four manufacturing plants, with over 30 years of combined Shared Savings experience, are profiled to illustrate the actual application of these programs
