Three Steps to Promotion of Energy Conservation

	Measures	Description
Step1	Enhancement of management, Improvement of operation	To enhance energy management based on the current setup, so as to improve operation (at least measuring instruments may be required)
Step2	Improvement and additional installation of equipment	To improve or retrofit some facilities with only a small investment, so as to achieve higher energy efficiency as well as to recover waste energy
Step3	Changes in process, Introduction of high-efficiency equipment	This step is intended for improving or updating process and manufacturing equipment It involves technical development and large-scale investment, but on the other hand produces a substantial effect

“Management” is one of the most important activities in enterprises for Profit Maximization.

“Energy management” is one element of Cost management

E- management can give good affect on improving productivity and product quality

E- management gets mutual effect and synergy effect by implementing simultaneously with
Q- management/P- management.

Concrete items should be managed

The energy conservation law shows concrete items for energy management
as the judgment standards and management standards.

Energy management starts from Operation Management

Operational Condition Management
- to keep the operational standard.
- to find the trouble in operation (or with a machine).
- to prevent energy waste (keep the standard, operational/technical improvement).
Operational Result Management
<energy consumption/ unit consumption management, yield management, etc.>
- to reduce energy consumption and energy cost
  (technical improvement, introducing high efficiency facilities, etc ).
