Building Models to Measure Energy Use Efficiency for Each Production Line

Course Overview

Equipment involved in production line energy efficiency rarely fails without warning; the warning is usually in data nobody reviewed. Spares strategy for energy efficiency is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this aspect of engineering and maintenance work in an order their organisation can absorb. Organisations that document production line energy efficiency properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The programme takes participants through this area of engineering and maintenance work end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The programme works equally well for those formalising energy efficiency for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The difficulty is not agreeing that production line energy efficiency matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in energy efficiency rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of engineering and maintenance work that each participant writes for their own organisation.
