The challenge
A major manufacturer of heavy-duty engines needed a single supplier to provide facilities and resource management services at one of its manufacturing locations.
The project challenges are:
- This business required that the supplier be able to provide both wastewater management and integrated waste services, including waste collection, transportation, recycling and disposal.
- In addition, this client wanted the supplier to manage on-site and contract labor associated with these services.
- As part of any contract, the client requested that the supplier provide a guaranteed savings over the cost of its in-house waste management operations.
