B.4Progress Toward Achieving Objectives and Targets. In the table below, please provide a narrative summary of progress made toward EMS objectives and targets other than those reported as Environmental Performance Commitments in Section C. You may limit the summary to environmental aspects that are significant and towards which progress has been made during the reporting year. Do you have additional environmental aspects to report? Yes



Environmental Aspect
Progress Made This Year (e.g., quantitative or qualitative improvements, activities conducted)
Legal & Other RequirementsIn 2003, BAE Systems Fort Wayne subscribed to an online subscription service which streamlined the process of regulatory review. Rather than having to actively seek out regulatory updates, we have them summarized and e-mailed to us, with a link to the complete citation.
Air EmissionsInitiated effort aimed at reducing delivery vehicle running time, reinforcing the message to drivers to stop their engines upon entering the dock. This was done through increased communication in the form of one-on-one communication with the drivers and installation of additional signage. This project originated from employee complaints in the winter of 2002-2003. Since spring 2003, no such complaints (about engines being left on) have been registered.
Non-Regulated WasteInstalled new Selective soldering machine to replace outdated and more wasteful machine used to solder connectors. This new process results in decreased lead air emissions and the generation of less solder dross. The machine achieves this chiefly because it is more efficient and precise, resulting in less wasted solder.
Environmental Management Systems CommunicationsEnvironmental Management Systems communication - In January 2003, the ESH manager spoke on our company's experience with ISO 14001 to a class at Valparaiso University. This was done at the University's request.

C.1.bBriefly describe how you achieved improvements for this aspect or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress.
We continued to benefit from the cleaner, more stable energy in our test areas. The project to replace workstation lighting continued. The normalized value for our electrical consumption increased over that for 2002. Our production output was greater in 2002, and since some of the electricity consumption is 'fixed', (such as lighting), the normalized value increased in 2003.

Reduced volume of Hazardous Waste generated from painting/coating process by pursuing and achieving an engineering change which eliminated the requirement for certain units to be painted. We continued to benefit from the switch to smaller packaging for many of our process materials, which results in less wasted (expired) material.

C.3.bBriefly describe how you achieved improvements for this aspect or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress.
The introduction of the inert wave solder environment continued to help us reach this goal. The introduction of the gaseous nitrogen environment results in a much decreased rate of solder oxidation, meaning that less dross is generated and therefore less need to replace the oxidized solder.

C.4.bBriefly describe how you achieved improvements for this aspect or, if relevant, any circumstances that delayed progress.
The reduction in hazardous waste from the stencil sleaning process is the result of a one-time change in equipment. The change to a closed-loop system from an open system is the reason for this reduction. The only waste generated from this process is a quarterly replacement of approximately 5 gallons of Isopropyl Alcohol, which is recycled on site.

C.4.cPlease list any other EPA voluntary programs to which you are also reporting these data (e.g. Energy Star, Project XL).


SECTION D: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND PERFORMANCE REPORTING




D.1Please briefly describe the activities that your facility conducted during the year to interact with the community on environmental issues and to report publicly on environmental performance.

We continued to perform community outreach in the form of Enviroscape environmental demonstrations. The demonstrations teach elementary school childrean about the creation and migration of pollution via a model of a small community. Our department also responds to requests form information about our Environmental management system. Our manager spoke to a class at Valparaiso on the subject of the ISO 14001 standard in January of 2003.

D.2Please indicate which of the following methods your facility plans to use to make its Performance Track Annual Performance Report available to the public.
