THE CONCEPT OF TOTAL FLUID MANAGEMENT (TFM) AS A MEANS OF MINIMIZING HAUL AWAYS OF WASTE METALWORKING FLUID IS DISCUSSED. A CASE HISTORY IS PRESENTED OF AN AEROSPACE COMPANY WHICH HAD BEEN DISPOSING OF 40,000 GALLONS OF WASTE COOLANT EACH MONTH. THE COMPANY BROUGHT IN A FLUID MANAGEMENT SERVICE, WHO REDUCED THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE COOLANT TO ESSENTIALLY ZERO. COST SAVINGS, IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY, AND A SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER WORK ENVIRONMENT WITH FEWER WORKER COMPLAINTS ALSO WERE ACHIEVED BY THE PROGRAM.
