Gensuite

Just Released... The new Product Compliance Center (PCC) tool is a single platform through which cross-functional teams can manage product compliance, certification, & attribute assessments across multiple regulatory schemes (e.g., EU REACH, RoHS) and custom product attributes; coordinate Supplier interactions and request; and manage Chemical Substance Inventories (CSIs)!

      PCC Key Functionality & Benefits
    • Streamlined Supplier data collection for request of compliance declarations, including declaration request for Full Material/Substance Disclosure
    • Analysis and rollup of product assessments from multiple Tracking Entities to one or more Legal Entities
    • Enables digitized management of Bill of Materials (BoMs), Products, Component/Spare Parts, Chemical Substance Inventories (CSIs), Homogeneous Materials, & Supplier/Customer repositories
    • Auto-Saved Historical Determination Snapshots for quick access and distribution (PDF format)

      2011 Plan Highlights
    • Compliance & Product Attribute Assessment - Implement Web interface for user setup and activation of Custom Schemes/Attributes; Extend Legal Entity interface to include Jurisdiction searching/grouping by Scheme/Attribute; Automated email alerts of Compliance Assessments approaching/past user-defined End Dates
    • SIRvey module - Supplier declarations on Custom Product Attributes (e.g., Certifications, Markings, and others as defined by the Business); Supplier declarations on Component Parts (e.g., Batteries)
    • Data Mining - Business-wide data mining across multiple associated Tracking Entities for Compliance & Attribute Assessments
    • Inventory Mgmt & Business System Integration - Excel Batch upload of Product/Part Compliance & Assessment status (e.g., Batch of Parts not in scope for EU RoHS/WEEE; Batch of Parts CE Certified/Not Certified; or UL Mark Certified); API for making Compliance & Attribute Status available to Business Systems via automated web interface
    • EU REACH Tracker planned closure - As the PCC functionality and interface is an extension of the existing Gensuite EU REACH Tracker tool, businesses will no longer need to manage REACH compliance activities separately in EU REACH Tracker. Over the coming weeks, we will complete the process of subsuming all REACH Tracker functionality into PCC. By the end of 2011, we expect to have the remaining EU REACH Tracker businesses fully transitioned and activated within PCC.

Special thanks to the GE Energy and GE Healthcare businesses for helping shape and Pilot PCC! Your feedback has been invaluable! We also thank our most recent participating businesses, GE Lighting and GE Transportation, for their 2011 commitments. We look forward to expanding use of PCC across all Gensuite businesses and will continue to build and extend the PCC product compliance management capabilities to evolving business needs, priorities, and feedback.
