Reliability, Maintenance, Energy & Environment
Howard W Penrose, Ph.D., CMRP SUCCESS by DESIGN
In these days of renewed interest in energy conservation and environmental consciousness we ask ourselves what we can do to have an impact. In the 1990s, significant work was implemented in the concepts of the relationship between reliability, maintenance, energy, environment and waste-stream, which is now considered part of ‘environment.’
It led to the understanding that the R&M function can have the single most significant and cost effective impact on energy and environment, and that each of the efforts is directly related to each other, in addition to their individual impact on capacity and productivity. In this short presentation, we will introduce you to the concept of RME&E and how to relate some of the aspects in order to assist you in providing supporting information for business decisions.
Additional information and tools for the application of RME&E will be available during the ‘Save Energy – A 3-Part Workshop on Becoming a Greener, Leaner Company,’ at PdM-2008
