Harrison Radiator Division's Energy Management, Reporting and Accounting System
Abstract
Energy management is essential for obtaining
the lowest possible product manufacturing cost.
Many systems have been created over the years to
manage the energy used in manufacturing. However,
for a variety of reasons, most of them never
reached their full potential.
Harrison Radiator first installed an energy
management system in 1973. Energy consumption was
reduced 42% from 1973 through 1984. However, the
gains the last couple of years have been small. In
1984, important changes were made to the system and
energy reporting was added, resulting in 1985
energy consumption reduction of about 16%.
This paper will briefly describe Harrison's
successful energy management, reporting and
accounting system. Examples of reports, available
data, information flow and benefits will be
covered, with special mention of all factors that
lead to our system's success.
