Our mindset in the HQ
Must have‘s
The first prerequisite of being successful here is that you work as a
crossfuntional system.
Second, it’s got to be embedded in the business plan.
Third, you’ve got to have the right metrics around it; it’s got to be
measurable.
And then it’s got to be beneficial from a financial perspective.
What we did in the past and do now
Shape and Share the Vision
Establish a cross functional team consisting of
Environment, Engineering, Finance and Operations.
Start with plants which pull not push
Agree on vision
Build the Plan
Identify focus areas and select plants for initial phase
Identify SMEs to lead focus areas
Build and communicate implementation plan (kick-off
meeting)
Implement and Sustain
Implement, track progress & follow up
Communicate (quick) wins

5 top focus areas:
- Compressed air
- Boiler
- Washing
machine
- CIP
- Water treatment
Example Boiler: huge potential
Example plant 1:
Annual saving: 69,000 EUR
Investment: 187,500
Payback: 2.7 years
Example plant 2:
Annual saving: 61,500 EUR
Investment: 84,000
Payback: 1.4 years
Saving Potential:
4-6% fuel for heating
30-75% electrical energy for operating the
boiler/heating system
Example compressed air leak: low investment, high return
EUR plant 3
Air Leak Elimination
Cost Saving 67,000 EUR
The learning from our project shows that there are a
few basics to be successful ...
• Visible top management commitment (demonstrate relevance, purpose and create
sense urgency)
• Cross functional team with finance makes the difference
• Central project coordination with local lead keeps focus
• Local accountability at operational level
• Watch out for the basics in energy and water use and go for the big fish
• Data transparency drives behavior
• Watch out for the unintended consequences
• Weekly follow up call keeps up the „worry curve“ (short, 15 -30 minutes)
• Create minimum performance levels for certain KBIs (e.g. demand of compressed air
during weekends)
