1. Scoping    
   SCS works with the organization to identify project needs and outline the goals to be achieved. SCS evaluates the objective and prepares a plan and proposal, including the process, costs, final deliverables and a timeline. The applicant then authorizes a work order and the process begins.
2. Data Collection and Analysis   
   SCS helps you assemble your data and documentation. Our technical team reviews the documentation relevant to the proposed work, such as manufacturing data, processes, chain of custody procedures and supplier data, material input documentation, etc. SCS conducts the work and the appropriate analyses.
3. Prepare and Deliver Findings  
   The SCS team delivers the findings via a draft of the agreed-upon deliverable (such as a report, data sets, LCA calculation tools, etc.) The client reviews the data, relevant tools, report information, and/or conclusions drawn, and provides any feedback for revisions before the deliverable is finalized.
4. Final Deliverable Issued 
   Once any necessary corrections or changes are made, the final deliverable is issued to the client. Any next steps as discussed can be taken, such as a standard being developed, implementation of changes, etc.
