Chrysler Plant Recognized as Good Environmental Citizen

"Clean, Green and Lean" is the motto at the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) plant in Dundee, Michigan, and the plant's commitment to sustainable manufacturing has earned it a Clean Corporate Citizen (C3) Award from the State of Michigan’s Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ).
The State's C3 program recognizes facilities that demonstrated environmental stewardship and a strong environmental ethic through their operations in Michigan. The C3 program is built on the concept that these Michigan facilities can be relied upon to carry out their environmental protection responsibilities without rigorous oversight, and should enjoy greater permitting flexibility than those that have not demonstrated that level of environmental awareness.
"GEMA's focus on lean manufacturing techniques and environmental sustainability is seen in the special efforts we make to reduce our impact on the environment, while maintaining the plant's high standards for quality, productivity and efficiency," said Plant Manager Bruce Baumbach.
Among the initiatives singled out by Baumbach are use of sustainable building techniques and materials during construction, maintenance and upkeep of our natural prairie landscape, our commitment to zero waste to landfill, our efforts to reduce energy usage, and most of all in our pollution prevention activities. Since 2005, GEMA has been registered to ISO: 9001 and ISO: 14001.
GEMA is a joint venture of Chrysler LLC, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi. Launched in 2005, the plant manufactures four-cylinder engines for a wide variety of Chrysler LLC products. In 2008, GEMA produced over 400,000 engines. Flexible manufacturing processes and lean manufacturing techniques allow GEMA to build a variety of engine displacements, while still maintaining high efficiency and the ability to react to sudden shifts in customer demand. Currently, GEMA manufactures 1.8L, 2.0L, 2.4L, and 2.4L turbo engines.
Among recent initiatives carried out at the plant are:
Light efficiency
Energy management
Reduction in waste generation, including hazardous waste
Increased recycling and reuse of materials
Reduced water consumption
Ongoing community outreach programs
