Abstract
Abstract Energy is an important component of the total productivity question and since its costs have been increasing faster than the rate of inflation, its importance is growing over time. As with most productivity measurement, energy productivity is difficult to monitor due to lack of metering and lack of data on “standard energy costs.” Also, manufacturers differ greatly in their energy use profile due to such variables as location, weather, number of people, product, manufacturing intensity, and a host of others. This paper examines energy productivity monitoring and control measurement systems. Standard “one-shot” efficiency measures are examined and then some unique ideas and more sophisticated computer programs (BLAST and DOE II) for calculating standard energy costs are presented and discussed.
