Environmental Management Research From The Life Cycle Perspective

Development of human society is a continuous development of resources, use of resources in the process. With the rapid economic development and growing population, depletion of natural resources, the environment is deteriorating. In recent years, a sharp decline in the national air quality, persistent fog and haze in many areas, people’s physical and mental health was seriously threatened. And once again become the focus of environmental problems of society.Manufacturing is a resource and energy-intensive industries, which promote rapid economic development, but also caused a lot of waste of resources, energy and the surrounding serious environmental pollution. Therefore, manufacturing companies assume an obligation to social responsibility to take measures to reduce damage to the environment. However, the traditional concept of view, the implementation of environmental management would increase the burden on businesses. Companies those implement environmental management would undoubtedly increase the cost of the enterprise, and the product may also be difficult to be sold because of the high price.Based on principles of cost-effectiveness, and inheritance in the systematic review of existing research, this paper analyzes the cost control and efficient of an enterprise when excesses environmental management. Used product life cycle as this paper’s framework, we introduce all aspects of the manufacturing enterprise product lifecycle management concepts for environmental and cost-effectiveness, citing the case of a corresponding specific cost-benefit analysis. Finally, on the view of two aspects of revenue increase and cost control, through the analysis of specific cases, we propose the method to increase the operating efficiency of the enterprise environment.First, this paper describes the current environmental management internal and external environment, including the needs of the consumer market, the relevant laws and regulations, their own needs and so on. Meanwhile describe manufacturing enterprises for environmental management attitudes and changes in recent years. From a macro point of view, analyze the benefits that the implementation of environmental management could bring to the enterprise. After reviewing the relevant environmental management and its relationship with financial performance studies, environmental studies and other domestic cost control, we would put forward this paper’s research and ideas. This paper tries from the costs and benefits, through the analysis of relevant cases, the use of cost-benefit analysis methods to analyze the feasibility of enterprise environments. Benefit analysis includes economic, environmental and social benefits. The cost is to analyze expenditures for environmental costs.Secondly, this paper describes the environmental management theory, the life cycle theory, environmental costs control theory. Among them, the environmental management theory mainly recall its history, introduced from a broad perspective and narrow. "Product life cycle theory" as used herein, is the extended life cycle theory, namely, product design and development, materials procurement, manufacturing, and selling transportation, recycling, scrap processing and then to the final process. Theoretical part of environmental costs, including environmental costs concepts and its development, environmental costs control and management theories.Then, we come to the main part of this article. The product life cycle environmental management is divided into five main sections:design, procurement, production, sales and recycling. Then we expound systematically the content and characteristics of environmental management. From a cost-effectiveness point of view, a detailed analysis of the benefits of the implementation of environmental management, including the economic, social and environmental benefits in three aspects, might give the enterprise.Then again, from increased revenues and cost control perspective, proposed to increase the economic benefits of the enterprise approach. On the one hand, through TJ’s analysis, introduce how to establish environmental cost control system, life cycle assessment method and supplier evaluation system. On the other hand, through green marketing, from 4P theory, introduce methods to increase corporate green income.Finally, the paper concludes, and proposes the lack in this paper as well as prospects after study.In this paper, always adhere to the combination of the theory and practice, I hope that through analysis of the case, this paper would give a reference about the implementation of environmental management for other companies. Ultimately unify environmental responsibility and profitability objectives.
