Metodologia para implantação de eficiência energética em industria: uma abordagem prática.

Abstract

Reducing costs in industrial manufacturing is essential for the maintainability of companies, taking into account the global competition scenario. In this way, World Class Manufacturing (WCM) provides a robust methodology for identifying losses and waste, as well as tools to remedy or mitigate them, reducing transformation costs and improving the organization's results. Energy inputs are essential within any industrial process, and must be worked in the best way to increase its efficiency. Within the WCM the topic is little explored, being addressed in the fourth step of the environment pillar, however without structuring how the guidelines regarding it should be followed. In this work, a structuring of the energy pillar will be presented based on the seven steps of the WCM and its application in a lead-acid battery production industry.
