Framework for Implementation of ISO 50001
Work has been done in developing the structure and functionality of a computer aided framework according to the requirements of ISO 50001. Specifically, a task centered framework which includes task descriptions, instructions, processes, tools, drawings etc has been employed to develop the web based interface. The section of flowchart shown in Figure 2.2.6 integrates entities such as training material, data collecting tools, project management etc with the various steps involved in a logical manner thereby yielding a single unified framework. Implementation of the framework into an industrial organization which is one of the largest manufacturers in power and automation has also been discussed. The framework was initially planned to be implemented as a pilot project involving one unit of its business operations which includes 62 sites worldwide. The instutionalization of the framework which will strictly follow ISO 50001 will adapt the organization based on assessments of lighting, occupational sensors, insulation for old equipment etc which is estimated to result in a cost savings of the order of $50 to $100 million every year. Once the energy savings are proven they will be copied, improved and implemented in other divisions of the organization
