Multi-dimensional Lifestyle TV Manufacturer Deploys PTC/POAKS Solution for
Environmental Compliance Management
South Pasadena, CA - October 14, 2005 - Pacific Oaks Technology (POAKS), a
leading provider of green compliance management solution, today announced that
Hannspree Inc. - a leader in providing exotically styled and licensed flat-panel TVs,
has deployed the Green Supplier Manager (GSM) and Green Component Manager
(GCM) from POAKS as the green compliance management solution across its
enterprise in meeting the compliance requirements of several EU environmental
directives such as RoHS, Packaging and Packaging Waste, and Batteries and
Accumulators.
Equipped with the Windchill system from Parametric Technology Corp. (PTC) as the
product lifecycle management tool, Hannspree selects GSM as the portal to interface
with all suppliers, and selects GCM as the green compliance management solution
and integrates GCM with Windchill through PTC's consulting services. "GSM fits into
the Hannspree's document control process perfectly. It provides the portal for
suppliers to download green requirements from Hannspree and upload the green
component documents such as survey form, lab test report and certificate of
compliance.", said Jon Wu, Vice President of POAKS, "GSM will then go through the
approval process to make sure all necessary documents are provided from the
suppliers. Notifications will be sent to the document control manager in Hannspree if
any supplier fails to comply. Once the documents are approved, GSM will then
forward the info to GCM, and GCM will process the submitted material and present
the compliance status right away. The status will then be forwarded back to
Windchill so all users inside the company could view and learn about the green
status of each component used in the BOM. It truly streamlines the green
compliance management under the scope of Product Lifecycle Management."
"It is pretty common in EMS and CMs that the factories produce the same product
are spreading in many places. GCM's ability of handling the same BOM in multiple
locations satisfies the requirements of validating the compliance status of the 2nd
source parts inside the BOM, which may vary depending upon the production
location.", said Falcon Uang, Senior Technical Consultant of PTC, "the way GCM
handles the collaborative operations among different users at different locations is
the key in managing the green compliance for these EMS and CMs."
"Besides the compliance requirements of RoHS, Hannspree also requires the
products to go through the EU Directives of Packaging and Packaging Waste, and
Batteries and Accumulators.", said Jon Wu, "GCM's ability of recognizing the
packaging materials and batteries from the BOM, and processing such with special
aggregation on the specified substances, allows Hannspress to validate the
compliance status right away and make proper actions to correct the non-compliant
events. It truly provides the green compliance management on Hannspree products."
