Collect ideas and trigger the energy saving mindset by: Arrange an energy saving workshop (main focus technical people), initiate an energy saving competition similar to CIM
Publish the energy saving guidelines
Use the guidelines to install energy walks in all areas, including offices
We must create an energy consumption awareness: Please provide a monthly energy consumption information to all staff explaining our consumption, main drivers of consumption, findings, activities to improve and status of the actions. (some examples of findings in March by me: Cooling room temperature specified at 22.5, but actual setting at 20.0, daily monitored and signed as ok for one complete week. Temperature setting in Meeting Room 20.0)
Actively use the energy saving committee to inititate, install and monitor measures and to set up the communication channels to all employees
Create machine shutdown guidelines for unused equipments for short and midterm
Guidelines and responsibilities for shutdown of complete areas over weekend for example
Define area owners to monitor all measures installed to conserve energy.
Install a regular meeting with the Energy Manager Wolfgang Guell, discuss with him the actions done in other plants. One example: TRU plant has bought a special equipment to identify air leakages. Get the information and decide whether it would make sense for us
Deduct the Schaeffler consumption plus the 55 kBaht/month compensation for opening the Warehouse from our electrity charges
I see potential for further reduction of lighting. Include the office areas. You can start in GMO as I had already requested.
Is the Chiller working now at max efficiency or does the current temperature set point create higher consumption due to lower efficiency. Do we really generate the 78 kEuro savings per year?
Contact the OEM’s of high energy consumption installations to discuss with them the most economical operating modes (example Robatherm).
Initite the PO for the visit of the external consultant together with Wolfgang Guell and arrange the visit ASAP.
Recommendations/tasks, to be discussed at April Jour Fix Nimit:
