ABS/EHS
ABS (Alcoa Business System)
What is ABS?
The Alcoa Business System is Alcoa's worldwide performance standard. It is an integrated set of systems, tools and language organized to encourage unencumbered transfer of knowledge across businesses and borders. It focuses on serving customer demand by emphasizing the elimination of all waste and making what the customer wants, when the customer wants it.
Principles of ABS
- Make to Use
- Eliminate Waste
- People Linchpin the System
By producing only what the customer wants, when the customer wants it, rather than building inventories of finished goods to be sold in the future, and by eliminating all forms of waste from the system, we are able to shorten lead times, allowing more flexibility in production scheduling and giving the customer the option of reducing their own store sizes.
