COSMOS-An Information System for Chemical Substances Contained in Products
In order to comprehensively evaluate the environmental impact of its products, OKI developed COMOS, an information system for chemical substances contained in products that integrate our chemical substances database and product design systems. The system is used throughout the group.
COSMOS certifies compliance with requirements based on the products' component parts, processing conditions defined at the design stage, and other data. This is done by automatically calculating amounts of chemical substances contained in products, including substances added at the processing stage.Moreover, survey forms for suppliers and reports for customers can be created in industry-standard formats. In the year ended March 2007 we adapted these forms to the most recent survey formats (Version 3) stipulated by the Japan Green Procurement Survey Standardization Initiative (JGPSSI) as well as the JGPSSI's Guidelines for the Management of Chemical Substances. Utilizing this system allows the findings of green procurement surveys to be shared within the group. This improves the efficiency of data compilation for chemical substances and enables us to quickly respond to customer survey requests.
