WEST CHESTER, PA, April 26, 2005—Haas
TCM has recently negotiated a five year extension to its agreement
to provide Chemical Management Services (CMS) to Raytheon Corporation
(NYSE: RTN).
Under the terms of the agreement, Haas TCM will continue
to perform the sourcing, procurement, logistics, and consumption
management of chemicals and industrial gases used at Raytheon facilities.
In addition, Haas TCM provides services associated with the management
of waste and other byproducts of chemicals used at these plants
and also provides activity based information in support of Raytheon's
environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) compliance management
efforts.
Since its launch in 1998 as Raytheon’s “Chemical
and Gas Management Program (CGMP)”, this initiative has grown
to cover 50 facilities in North America, which comprise 96% of the
chemicals Raytheon uses on the continent. This high degree of enterprise
penetration is attributable to Haas TCM’s flexible service
model and Raytheon’s deployment of its vision for integrated
supply chain management and desire for a mechanism to facilitate
chemical life cycle evaluation of its processes.
“Raytheon is one of the first large companies
I know to transfer on an enterprise scale the responsibility for
materials supply and associated engineering and data management
to an outside company” says Leigh Hayes, Haas TCM’s
Executive Vice President. “Moreover, Raytheon has recognized
throughout the program the need for incentives alignment and has
prioritized maintaining the optimum balance for optimum performance”,
adds Hayes. “The result for Raytheon has been significant
cost reductions and business process improvements.”
Haas TCM plans to continue enhancement of tcmIS®,
its enterprise data integration platform, and focus its engineering
expertise to target additional areas of high Raytheon savings potential
that the CGMP team members have identified. “We expect savings
and process improvement rates in the new contract to mirror the
achievements of the previous contract,” says Hayes.
Headquartered in West Chester, PA, with about 300
employees, annual revenues of $150 million and operations on three
continents, Haas TCM currently provides chemical lifecycle management
services to customers in the automotive, aerospace, electronics,
semiconductors, defense, metalworking, transportation, food/beverage
and heavy equipment manufacturing industries.
