CONSULTANCY ACTIVITIES

The guiding principle of Envirocell's consultancy services is working with client project teams to provide specific expertise otherwise lacking in-house and thus ensure that the optimum solution is identified and implemented. This approach is consistent with the total quality management (TQM) approach being used by many companies to drive their businesses forward and to develop partnerships with their suppliers and customers. The nature of the external assistance required varies enormously depending on the internal resources available.

The traditional approach to consultancy work is for the consultant to visit the client site in order to discuss the problem and work programme at first hand and to get a physical feel for the scope of the operation. Whilst this can be invaluable, it is not absolutely essential if the consultant is experienced and familiar with the operation of paper mills. This sort of remote consultancy where the consultant does not visit the location is possible today due to the fact that most types of information (spreadsheet data, photographs, etc) can be sent rapidly as email attachments and an electronic dialogue can be conducted in not far from real time. This can save time, money and all the negative impacts associated with travel.

Envirocell's consultancy expertise does not cover the whole area of papermaking, but is concentrated in three specific areas:

environmental management

water and waste management

papermaking chemistry
