 Welcome to the second edition of the CMS Insider! This edition includes news and information on CMS activities in a range of industries - evidence of the CMS Forum's commitment to grow the awareness and practice of economically and environmentally beneficial chemical management services. Be sure to check out the article in Viewpoints from the Field on the applicability of CMS to small and medium sized enterprises. Also, mark your calendars for the CMS workshops in Singapore and Chicago as well as the many other conferences where you can find CMS Forum members speaking this year. I also would like to inform CMS Forum members and readers that I will be stepping down as CMS Forum Director in order to focus on the development of international programs for the Chemical Strategies Partnership. In July, my colleague, and CSP Executive Director, Jill Kauffman Johnson will return as Director of the CMS Forum. Warmest Regards, John D. Claussen CMS Forum Director  CMS in the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Setting by Dayna Greenspan and Clarke Miller, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley In early 2002 Haas School of Business joined with the Chemical Strategies Partnership (CSP) to work with Nu-Metal Finishing, a small metal finishing firm in Santa Clara, CA to evaluate how the CMS model could apply to a small/medium sized enterprise (SME). In 2000, CSP completed a similar project to test the CMS model in the tool & die industry sector in western Pennsylvania. Learn about both of these projects and how to obtain additional information regarding the applicability of CMS to SMEs. Read Full Article...
