1 INTRODUCTION Program purpose, schedule expectations Malolos City, Bulacan June 3, 2013 Dr. Nonita T Yap, SEDRD University of Guelph Canada

2 How does this workshop on Lean and Clean Manufacturing fit into Collaborative Governance of Urbanizing Watersheds: Angat River Basin, Philippines Dr. Leonora Angeles, UBC Canada s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) 2

3 Collaborative governance, a recursive process where people, organizations and institutions work together towards the common goal of putting in place a range of political, social, economic, and administrative systems to allocate, develop, and manage (Proposal, p1) You cannot manage what you cannot measure 3

4 57 km.-stretch Angat River a source of electricity for Metro Manila, irrigation water for farmland in Bulacan and Pampanga, and host to Bulacan s aquaculture industry. It provides drinking water for the population and has a potential for culture tourism. Angat River - Bulacan s blessing 4

5 Bulacan also well known for Marble and Marbleized Limestone, Jewelry, Pyrotechnics, Leather, Aquaculture, Meat and Meat Products, Garments, Furniture, High-Value Crops, and Sweets and Native Delicacies, and a wide variety of high-quality native products 5

6 Bulacan s blessing, also its sorrow Angat River - seriously polluted (Macalingcag 2007) Angat River water quality rated marginal (World Bank) Sources of pollution: domestic and industrial wastes, garbage from open dumpsites, untreated sewage, and soil erosion Not unique to the Philippines 6

7 Specifics (Adraneda and Balabo 2007) 1. River sections traversing Meycauayan City and Marilao town, among the world s dirtiest 30, a danger to human health 2. Meycauayan-Marilao river system extremely polluted from dumping of industrial waste (e.g., Cr (VI) and Hg) 7

8 Specifics (Greenpeace 2007 ) 3. Calumpit-Plaridel and Pulilan sections heavily polluted with Cr(VI), a carcinogen 4. Angat River and groundwater sources shows presence of chloroform & high level of zinc. 8

9 This workshop is about How we can address the pollution inputs to the Angat River watershed while saving the jobs and sustain the communities that depend on this resource and a vision of a green economy. a paradigm shift is needed!! 9

10 Foundational principle Waste not a problem but a resource

11 Lean manufacturing means A systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste through continuous improvement of the entire life cycle of the product 11

13 Purpose The workshop will demonstrate the value of Cleaner Production (CP) as a tool for improving Business efficiency improved = profitability and success rate! How CP innovations can serve as the foundation for greening the economy at the regional and national level towards a circular economy! 13

14 BUILD YOUR SKILLS in basic CP tools & techniques Outcomes DEMONSTRATE how CP can help SMEs meet regulatory and market requirements Apply CP Audits in Selected SMEs Identify CP opportunities 1. Learned how to identify sources of waste & techniques to reduce them 2. An understanding of the policy requirements & management skills needed to facilitate CP 3. Applied these knowledge and skills to a local production facility, and.. Hopefully developed personal and organizational agendas for promoting CP in your organisation and circular economy in the region.. 14

15 Focus: SMEs Why SMEs? SMEs are vital to development: Employment creation 80% in Thailand; ca 90% in Latin America Poverty Alleviation Essential part of the supply chain for larger enterprises HOWEVER, the SME sector... Often suffers from inefficiency, low management capability, poor access to capital Can have large local and aggregate impacts on environment Some examples... 15

16 Reprocessing scrap aluminum

17 Reprocessing scrap steel

19 In the bedroom 5/9/2014 Yap - Presentation to IDEV

20 RESULTING Impacts on the environment and food chain On health Elevated incidence of pneumonia, asthma, acute bronchitis, gastritis, miscarriages & cancer Life expectancy 6 to 10 years< nat l average

21 THEREFORE...! there is a need for analytical and management tools and assistance that support an economically, environmentally & socially sustainable SME sector 22

(Undertake CP Audits) Thurs Site visits 2 (Undertake CP Audits) Fri Sat Collective

22 Schedule Mon Introduction to Cleaner Production process and techniques Tues How SMEs can apply and benefit from Cleaner Production techniques Wed Site Visits 1 (Undertake CP Audits) Thurs Site visits 2 (Undertake CP Audits) Fri Sat Collective analysis of CP opportunities in facilities visited and write up Teams report on Findings 23

23 Approach Increasing level of specificity - e.g., process mapping introduced in Module 3 and clarified in Module 5. Deliberate repetition Very important processes (e.g, CP methodology) will be discussed in several modules from slightly different perspectives to emphasise its importance and expectation that participants may be more inclined to retain certain perspectives and not others. Team work: richer view of problem and solutions from combining different perspectives 24

24 Basic expectations Malolos training is for 1 week instead of usual 2 weeks. Participants are expected to: 1. Participate actively. 2. Ask questions. 3. Respect different points of view. 4. Share thoughts & ideas. 5. Build upon the ideas presented by others. 6. Join in problem-solving and team work. 7. Speak for themselves, not their organizations, and not for everyone 8. Respect confidentiality: anything you may learn about the businesses or enterprises of other participants should not be disclosed to others without permission. And 25
