Abstract
This article discusses a software program that was developed at the University of Maine to assist manufacturers in minimizing waste and improving energy efficiency. The software combined the most common recommendations made in the US Department of Energy`s Industrial Assessment Center program in a user-friendly package that can be used by computer novices. It also includes ``wizards`` that serve as an expert system to lead the user through an assessment of their total facility. The program is interactive and based around the Windows 95 operating system. Once users enter the necessary data into the program, it will generate a report similar to those created by Industrial Assessment Centers. General code information will be covered with a discussion of some of the recommendations that are included.
