Introducing Energy Performances in Production Management: Towards Energy Efficient Manufacturing
Energy consumption is one of the main economic, environmental and societal issues. As stated by recent researches, manufacturing plays a major role in energy consumption. To react to this situation and to go towards Energy Efficient Manufacturing, several initiatives are on-going. One relevant lever that is discussed in this paper and that should be taken into consideration is production manage...
متن کاملEnergy efficient manufacturing from machine tools to manufacturing systems
Energy efficiency is one of the key drivers for sustainability. Within manufacturing environments, energy efficiency importance has grown, and it is now considered among other decision-making factors such as productivity, cost and flexibility. However, in most cases the energy consumption of the various components of the manufacturing systems, such as machine tools, are considered using average...
متن کاملEfficient Use of Energy
The term efficient use of energy includes all the technical and economical measures aimed at reducing the specific energy demand of a production system or economic sector. Although implementation of energy-saving techniques may require initial investments, short-term financial returns can often be achieved through lower fuel costs due to the reduced energy demand. Improving the use of energy is...
متن کاملInterfuel Substitution and Energy Use in the UK Manufacturing Sector
This paper investigates interfuel substitution in the UK manufacturing sector. Econometric models of inter-fuel substitution are applied to energy inputs aggregated by their energy use, and separately for thermal heating processes, where interfuel substitution is technologically feasible. Compared to aggregate data, estimated own-price fuel demand elasticities for all fuels and cross-price elas...
متن کاملEnergy optimization in cement manufacturing
Cement producers are large consumers of thermal and electrical energy, which on a global level are only available at steadily increasing costs. Efforts to reduce demands by using higher effi ciency equipment and substituting fuels and raw materials to lower production costs have been addressed in recent years. These changes have introduced constraints that must now be managed to secure the requ...
