The rising utility costs \u2013 especially for electricity obtained in the traditional manner \u2013 raise the importance of efficiency in the use of these resources. How to optimize the expenses and costs that are necessary in the context of production activities? The key issue is not only the analysis of the data itself, but also the way in which it is obtained.<\/b><\/p>\n

Utilities are most commonly associated with electricity<\/strong>, but these resources need to be considered more broadly and also include, e.g. water, gas<\/strong>. They are used every day in every factory in the world as production without access to them would often be impossible. It is therefore a natural, even standard cost. And perhaps that is why \u2013 a common mistake \u2013 it is often not taken into account when calculating the cost of producing a given item.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a common direction pursued by factories seeking to balance production and environmental effect is to optimize utility<\/strong> usage. This translates not only into ecology, but also has a tangible financial dimension.<\/p>\n

It turns out that utility expenses are often \u2013 when viewed through the prism of reporting and analytics \u2013 invisible. They are simply recognized as a fixed cost of business<\/strong> and, therefore, are not subject to cost-effectiveness assessment. Many entities go even further: they estimate utility costs without a thorough understanding of how these expenses vary between production lines. Worse still, there is often not even a thought given to how they affect in practice the effectiveness of operating equipment, or OEE<\/a> \u2013 a format that should be an important parameter for any type of business. In this context, it is worth remembering one of the basic principles of Lean Manufacturing<\/strong> \u2013 it is not possible to manage effectively something that is not measured. In this light, media management is in fact the foundation of any activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
