[Audio] Good day everyone! This proposal project, known as the Energy Management System or E N M S It was initially scheduled to be implemented from 2022 to the present. However, due to prioritization of other projects, this program received less attention. Today, I will be presenting the business aspects of Energy management system.. As we are all part of the management team..
[Audio] Energy management implementation must address, Why? What drives us and what are hoping to get from this Energy Management in implementation?.
[Audio] Typically, we want to install sub meters because we need to understand how much energy our machinery and equipment consume. It is a one-time project that we have to implemented to see our potential savings. We also aim for certification. All of these reasons are valid on their own, but individually, they are not sufficient to fully implement comprehensive energy management.".
[Audio] This energy management can be so much more.. It has potential to be a good thing for the organization but it has to be implemented with goal clearly stated from the beginning. Energy management system has been in many different names ISO 50,0001, Superior E M, whatever we want to call it in different names but the goal is to SAVE MONEY. It cannot tell what's wrong, but it can tell us that something is wrong. Meaning is that cautioning against pursuing goals that require significant investment or resources if you don't have a clear plan or financial backing to support it. It implies that without proper financial security or preparedness, the effort may not be successful or worth the investment. Other thing is that people tend to install energy management information system meaning meters in computers, And they think they're going to solve all the problems. Those are going tell us that it has a problem.. They will not solve it for you. So don't expect unreasonable expectation to start with… The saving and there are savings always..but saving come from the action you take based on the Information that you're given.. No Actions, No Savings..no matter how good our system is...
[Audio] Here are the reasons why implementing the Energy Management System (EnMS) is crucial. Most people don't naturally think about it this way, but knowing exactly where and how much energy each piece of machinery and equipment consumes is vital. Why? Because it's all about where you're going to spend your money. Imagine having 3-5 machines, all using electricity. How would you know which one is the least efficient unless you have sub meters and a system in place to tell you? This insight helps you make operational improvements. For example, with preventive maintenance, if you notice energy consumption creeping up on a machine, it's a sign that something is starting to go wrong. If you catch this early, you can take action before the machine shuts down at the worst possible time—like when you have an urgent order from a customer. Better utilization rates mean you can produce more products with the same amount of energy, making your operation more efficient..
[Audio] So if good Energy Management does all of this. - conserve energy - Reduce Emission - Save money across the organization Then supporting energy management structure: Provide means to control the energy consumption Is embedded into every aspect of organization - Make energy visible..
[Audio] Why Manage Energy? As a manufacturing facility, we attract customers for various reasons. Each one of you has different motivations. Whether it's due to our exceptional sales team, our unique processes, or the high quality of our products, our customers find value in what we offer that they can't find anywhere else. This is why we win contracts and why our customers keep coming back—that's our competitive advantage. However, to maintain these benefits and stay competitive, we need to control our operational costs. We can't afford to let our prices become too high, or our customers might look for alternatives. To keep our edge, we must focus on cost efficiency or operational cost. So we have to have a cost advantage In this intersection between Benefits and Cost Advantage in the industry that's our value proposition to the customer.. In essence, we're saying to our customers, "I'll give you these benefits at this cost—don't go anywhere else because I'm the only one who can provide this unique value." This strong partnership is why we secure new customers and see increased orders from existing ones..
[Audio] Now, let's think about energy. Reducing energy consumption directly reduces our operational costs. That's pretty straightforward and something everyone understands—it boosts our cost advantage. But energy is unique because reducing consumption also lowers our carbon footprint. This can enhance working conditions and improve our public image. Consequently, our benefits grow. By managing energy effectively, we increase our value proposition to customers. By simply reducing energy, We achieve multiple benefits simultaneously. We do one thing, and it positively impacts both sides of the equation, our value proposition to the customers will go up..
[Audio] The other thing that we keep forgetting is.. If I remember my days in Africa, When Somebody said let's control our cost! It usually meant one of three things.. 1st I cannot make 2copies to print out instead on two sides of the paper. 2nd I have to call the vendor and get 10% discount and. 3rd 10% of our workforce will be cut! That is how what they meant controlling cost actually means… Energy is different.. Energy is actually the thing that will make our facility better and everybody will feel better as a result nobody has to leave. They will in most cases will better off because of the environment will be cleaner in the facility.. If we have proper system in place, we will produce more product for the same amount of energy.. Because we know how to use it.. everybody wins… We have better public image..which is which speaks to the corporate image And we have better employee engagement because they are happier they are not freezing anymore.. Therefore you have better corporate financial because everybody knows that happier employees, More productive employees better for our finance...
[Audio] So now I already addressed two issues.. What about risks..well let's look at it this way.. Managing Energy we said is going to create savings and those Savings are going to be based some actions, right? Action will be based on the decisions.. But now with energy management in place..knowing where energy is going..how much we use.. How we use it..We will be able to make decisions based on knowledge rather than on a hint, on a gut fell, On as a reaction to the marketplace… We will base on the actual facts.. With that picture actually looks like if you really think about it the other way around… From that way..this way,,its nothing more than our continuous energy management improvement...
[Audio] How to Manage Energy Effectively? It is the same as our Continuous improvement Its no different… so following those same principles that we are familiar with.. To both energy efficiency improvements and to implementing our energy management. Information system to begin with.. Will actually reduced our risks because everybody Familiar with the processes.. We will know what to expect and we will know how to get there...
[Audio] How to sustain this Program..? Having top management support is crucial. It ensures that even if I start out on my own, I can generate enough momentum to create a strong energy management system. Without this support, Sustainability efforts may fail as soon as I leave the organization. When top management oversees this initiative, it insures its long-term viability, regardless of who is in charge at the time. The more help we receive, the greater the project's potential for significant and long-term savings..
[Audio] That's all and Thank you for you time!. Energy Management Program<br />.
