    Environmental management systems, such as that specified by ISO 14001, are recent developments in the commercial world. Rockwell Automation is currently implementing Environmental Management Systems in all of its facilities and is obtaining third-party certification to ISO 14001. The Milwaukee campus is the largest and most diverse facility within the company. The purpose of this project is to develop a systematic approach to conducting an efficient and effective assessment of the activities occurring at that campus and how they interact with the environment.
    A literature search was conducted for information regarding ISO 14001 assessments, pollution prevention opportunity assessments and general decision-making methodologies. Background information was collected on ISO 14001 and its public policy implications. A screening-level assessment method was proposed, fine-tuned and tested utilizing a sub-set of five manufacturing departments within the Rockwell Automation Milwaukee Campus.
    Several standard tools were developed as a part of the assessment method: an activity information collection form, a worksheet for aspects, an impact rating system, and a summary format. The project illustrated that a systematic approach can yield valid and consistent results without consuming and inordinate amount of time and resources. This documented method allows future assessments to be compared to the current baseline. It eliminates questions concerning variablility due to the method itself.
