Identify areas of improvement – Our Engineering Consultants will discuss recommendations with proprietorsand managers based on this assessment. Based on agreed recommendations the factory will be supported informing implementation teams as part of the ‘Action Plan’ which will specify targets, measurables and ways toevaluate progress made. The Engineers will also present recommendations as an ‘Energy Report’ for improvingthe efficiency of operations, in the form of a high-quality energy audit report including energy used and potentialcost savings, rates of return and pay-back period on equipment financing. We will also assist the proprietors andmanagers to select and implement appropriate improvements and investments. The plant and equipment andprocesses audited include:-

Boilers and steam productionVentilation and coolingKilns, furnaces and ovens

Process equipmentPumps and motors

Compressed airCaptive electricity generationVacuum plant

Support to factories in improving efficiency – One to one consultancy, including training for productionand maintenance managers and supervisors to support the implementation of the Action Plan by the factory’sown production and maintenance staff. Advice will also be given on how to achieve cost savings and processimprovements and help in implementing some of the recommended changes. It is expected that somerecommendations will be ‘quick low-cost wins’ which will be simple to implement. Implementation of themedium and long term recommendations may require capital investment from the participating factory.
