Is your organization looking to reduce costs and carbon emissions? Energy can be a large budget item for many organizations, and it can also be the biggest driver of carbon emissions at your facility. Most organizations invest significant money into reducing energy through efficient equipment upgrades and renewable energy, but what if money is limited and the capital projects are going to take too long?
Using Lean methods, you can discover wasted energy that is being consumed on non-value-added activities, such as leaving equipment on during shifts and breaks, heating unused spaces, or letting your processes run longer than necessary. Many of these improvements are tied to employee behaviors or unclear documentation, so engaging them in the process of finding the energy reduction opportunities and explaining the business case is critical. Small process changes can often result in large benefits without the large capital investment.
Join ISBF with guest presenters for this webinar to learn how Energy Treasure Hunt and Energy Swap processes can help your organization find wasted energy in your operations, lead employees to embrace appropriate behavior changes and teach employees how to continue to look for future energy savings opportunities.
