Abstract
The problems of efficient use of energy costs have been actively explored in recent decades in connection with rising energy prices. During this period, the main models for assessing energy efficiency and energy management were developed, including the models Total Quality Management, Six Sigma and Sustainable Value Stream Mapping. The aim of the research was to study the energy efficiency of the production and services in Kazakhstan based on materials of the large-scale national study on the estimation of production and transaction costs by these methodologies. To assess the data obtained, a statistical analysis of the dependence on the indicators of variation and ranking was used. Electricity costs are among the leading manufacturing costs and affect management models. However, according to the maturity model of energy management, energy efficiency in Kazakhstan is low. Despite the government’s declarations of effective energy policies, the administrative burden for businesses remains high, and legislation does not stimulate a reduction in energy costs.
Highlights
The problem of increasing energy efficiency is connected with the historical development of management systems
It must be recognized that the domestic market of Kazakhstan is quite limited, which makes it less attractive for international companies with high labor productivity, protecting this way national producers
Different types of services require a different share of energy costs and fundamentally different energy management models are implemented
Summary
The problem of increasing energy efficiency is connected with the historical development of management systems. The share of energy costs in the value of the created product has increased significantly It took a change in production processes to reduce these costs and energy management became part of the management system. This change was evident in the development of European management in the last third of the 20th century [2]. During this period, an independent energy management area was formed, which is able to provide organizations with efficient use of production resources [3,4]. Having become part of the management system, energy management has been included in the solution of a wide range of environmental and social problems and has become an integral part of the organization’s image [5,6]
