This information is compiled by the requesting Divison/Group Manufacturing management and shared with other 3M internal manufacturing and corporate management to clearly communicate and define the need. The second step is to compare the need with existing 3M operations (existing manufacturing plant suitability) to better determine possible opportunities to consolidate or expand existing operations to accommodate requirement, where possible. If it is determined existing 3M manufacturing sites are not suitable for this requirement, a review of all 3M surplus sites, i.e., "brown field" (sites projected for disposal or actively being marketed for sale) and "green field" generic land banked sites (sites currently held by the corporation for future manufacturing use) is conducted. The third step (if necessary) is to conduct a search for a new site. This process is managed by an internal 3M site selection committee consisting of representatives from the Division/Group Manufacturing team having the need, Upper Management, Real Estate, Tax, Finance, Human Resources, Logistics, Environmental Technology & Safety and those corporate committees involved with global quality and manufacturing utilization. The team may also be supplemented by the selection of consultants in the prescreening of communities and the final site evaluation, selection and acquisition. Throughout this three step process, 3M employs a site selection criteria to evaluate those communities and sites we currently have operations in as well as any future US or Global regions, communities and sites under consideration. The critical criteria to be considered are as follows: 1. Suppty Chain: Provide the desired total delivered cost and cycle time for products produced at a site. The key elements/considerations being proper alignment of distribution network between suppliers, manufacturing site(s) and 3M customer(s)/distributors. 2. Quality Of Lrfe: Those regions/communities which provide a high quality of life for our employees and their families, e.g., factors such as: housing, low crime, education, cultural and spouse employment opportunities. 3. Business Climate: Those regions/communities which are pro-business, e.g., right-to-work, low taxes, incentive programs, etc., and can advance 3M's strategic business interests. 4. Quality Of Workforce: Availability, quality and cost of workforce. 5. Safety, Health and Environmental: Regions and communities that provide environmental regulations that support 3M business operations and align with 3M's operating policies and initiatives regarding Safety, Health and Environmental matters. 6. Infrastructure: Those regions, communities and specific sites which best support a specific 3M business need, e.g., zoning, site size, roadways, utilities, airports, etc. 7. Growth Potential: Those regions, communities and specific sites which can accommodate anticipated growth needs of a specific 3M business, e.g., land, infrastructure, workforce, etc. 8. Risk: Assess the financial and operational risks associated with site (existing vs. new) options.
