Abstract
Energy
usage
is
a
significant
operating
cost
for
manufacturing
facilities
in
the
United
States,
and
interest
in
energy
management
has
been rising
of
latetl,
2,
3].
One
approach,
recommended
by
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA),
is
to
piggyback
off
of
an
existing lean
program
to
reduce
energy
waste
in
manufacturing
processes(4].
Just
such
a
pilot program
has
recently
been
launched
in
a
major
manufacturing
facility
at
Raytheon,
where
approximately
48%
of
the
facilities'
total
energy
is
used
on
manufacturing
processes.
The program
focuses
on
proven process
management
approaches
and
rides
the
coattails
of
the
existing
lean
program
at
a
major
manufacturing
facility
by
creating
a
pull
for
continuous improvement
ideas[1].
The
goal
this
thesis
was
to
increase
the
efficacy
of
the
existing
program,
and
to
develop
a
practical roadmap
to
guide
energy
managers
seeking
to
execute
such
programs
in
manufacturing
on
the
shop
floor.
We
investigated
three
methods
to
enhance
the
program.
