SCN manages the Lucent X-Free initiative, in partnership
with organizations through Lucent including Mobility Solutions,
Bell Laboratories and finance, to eliminate or reduce
hazardous substances in Lucent products while maintaining
high levels of functionality, quality, and cost effectiveness.
Several sub-teams have been formed to address X-Free initiatives.
These teams include the Materials Compliance Team
(MCT) which is responsible for detecting and capturing material
content issues from a legal, market and customer perspective;
the Supplier Management Group (SMG) which is
responsible for the communication of X-Free requirements
to the supply base; and the Reliability Team which addresses
the reliability issues associated with X-Free substance alternatives.
The X-Free activities that impact Mobility Solutions
hardware products are included in the scope of the PBEMS
and are discussed in Section 2.4.5.
