MassMEP's Energy and Environmental Program targets and eliminates the root causes of energy related waste at all levels of the organization and is a key element to becoming a Next Generation Manufacturer.
To assist manufacturers with their energy consumption journey, MassMEP has developed an Energy and Environmental Program that utilizes and applies a series of tools:
•
The Energy & Environmental Assessment identifies potential energy saving opportunities that you might not know exist.
"Based on $40K of identified energy savings in the 33KSF pilot facility, we project more than $2M of energy savings opportunities exist within the Company footprint."

Results of an Energy Assessment
•
The Energy & Environmental Roadmap, using standard Lean principles such as Value Stream Mapping, with an energy overlay, and Kaizen events to further evaluate and address current state energy usage and waste.
•
An Energy and Environmental Action Plan that provides management with a sustainable approach to reduce energy consumption and improve operational throughput.
Unlike conventional facility or engineered methods of reducing energy related waste, MassMEP's Energy and Environmental Program identifies and improves the manufacturing process therefore reducing and sometimes eliminating the need for the energy that supports those processes. By reducing the need, a reduction of energy consumption is NOW maximized.
