Abstract
Modern manufacturing facilities waste various energy savings opportunities (ESO) and lack proper performance indicators to measure energy efficiency on the production line. The ESO is an opportunity window calculated from on-line production data, such as production count, machine downtime records, buffer levels, and machine idle status, allowing certain machines to be turned off for energy savings without negatively affecting throughput. New energy efficiency performance indicators are presented that use real time production data to identify the least energy efficiency machine on the line. The energy savings opportunity strategy utilizes the Energy Efficiency Performance Indicators (EEPI) to take the opportunity window for the least energy efficient machine at opportune times, allowing for improvements to be made to the machine, increasing the overall energy efficiency of the line.
