Abstract

ABSTRACTIn an increasingly capital constrained world, the ability to fund business improvement step change programs is becoming increasingly difficult, yet significant opportunities are available across the three primary pillars of maintenance and reliability, energy efficiency and process efficiency. The recent volatility in energy costs and the potential for greenhouse gas emission trading has raised the awareness of industrial energy efficiency in most manufacturing and processing industries, yet there is a real and significant gap between the efficiency opportunities that are available and the level of savings that actually get implemented. In a similar manner, there is ample evidence that the same can be said of most maintenance and reliability programs as well. Process efficiency opportunities are often directly coupled or intrinsically linked to both maintenance and reliability, and energy efficiency step change processes, giving rise to a multidimensional opportunity matrix. It is becoming increas...
