Introducing Energy Performances in Production Management: Towards Energy Efficient Manufacturing
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 management. Present production planning and control policies, which are used to optimize manufacturing processes, do not take into consideration energy efficiency. In this paper, we investigate energy efficiency performance indicators on one side and production scheduling and control practices on the other side. The purpose is to highlight this research gap in literature and start defining next steps towards Energy Efficient Manufacturing.

Implementation of Control Strategy for Predicting Energy Consumption Management in a Food and Beverage Industry Using Regression Analysis
The philosophy of efficient energy consumption is vitally crucial to profitable production cost in manufacturing industries. This is because the unit production cost is largely determined by the cost of unit energy supply; which is quite higher than the cost of raw materials in Nigeria. It has been established that the Nigerian industrial sector is responsible for 8.7% of the total energy consu...

Energy use and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in rainfed canola production in north eastern Iran were analyzed to find measures to reduce energy use and GHG emissions. Four production scenarios, i.e. a high-input, a low-input, a better crop management and a usual scenario, evaluated. All activities and production processes were monitored and recorded over three consecutive years. The usua...
