Environmental aspects in a Stage-GateŽ model for the
chemical industry
The aim of this strategy is to tackle health, safety and environmental
(HSE) issues in product development through inclusion of HSE criteria into a Stage-GateŽ model.
A Stage-GateŽ model similar to the one presented here is being used by Akzo Nobel Surface
Chemistry.
This guideline deals with the assessment
of health, safety and environmental (henceforth referred to as HSE) aspects for
chemical products and processes within the
Stage-GateŽ model procedure. It is intended
mostly for the project manager or environmental support people who are assigned
to fulfil the criteria concerning these aspects.
Further information about the Stage-GateŽ model
procedure is available
here.
The criteria used in the Stage-GateŽ model for
product development naturally differs from the model for process development and
the working procedure described in this strategy covers HSE aspects for both
product and process development within a chemical industry.
