Stelter & Brinck Can Help Your Plant with Energy and Carbon Management
Last month, an article was published on Thomasnet.com, titled "Energy and Carbon Management Are Increasingly on Manufacturers' Radar". This article, written by Al Bredenberg, explains manufacturers are increasingly focusing efforts on managing their energy consumption and carbon emission levels. Manufacturers are placing programs in place in order to become more energy efficient, to comply with regulations and standards and to save the company money.
Of the 105 manufacturing sites the Arberdeen Group analyzed for this article, 35% are leaders, whom have continually reduced their energy and emissions levels while improving their bottom line. Other firms should look at the leaders as an example when creating their energy/emissions management programs. The article states that, "These leaders have reduced their energy consumption by an average of 7 percent year over year and emissions 8 percent. Their energy consumption performance has exceeded corporate goals by an average of 13 percent. Their operating margins have exceeded budgeted margins by 14 percent."
Year after year, the numbers yielded by the leaders are the result of strategic planning, consistent improvement, a supportive in-house organization, and the implementation of necessary technologies. These 37 companies have managers who establish and enforce energy and carbon goals. These companies also analyze and monitor their manufacturing process, building and organization, and continually ask themselves "How can we decrease our energy consumption and carbon emissions?" and "Will said solution make a continual improvement and save the company money in the future?"
