Objetivo To produce a series of case studies giving examples of the success of M&T in UK industry.Eight of the 10 case studies have now been generated and it is anticipated that the target of 10 will be achieved by September 1994. The Case Studies are in the following fields:two in the plastic processing industry; chemical industry; hospital laundry (CS221); drop forging (CS212);PO Stuart WatsonTo establish control over energy use it is necessary to have information on the energy consuming plant, process or buildings, together with dynamic information on energy inputs and flows. Once control over energy use has been established by monitoring, targets can be set for improvements in the efficiency of energy use. This is the essence of the M&T approach to energy management. With a properly organised information system, managers at all levels within an organisation will seek to achieve improvements in the cost-effective use of energy. Monitoring and Targeting (M&T) is an energy management approach that enables organisations to manage energy as a controllable resource in the same way that they manage other resources such as raw materials, capital and manpower. Marketing of novel management techniques is much less straightforward than that of specific energy saving devices or technologies. The major barrier to the implementation of M&T is the attitude of management to energy matters. In implementing a system, all levels of the management need to be convinced about its value and their responsibility in maintaining the system. The paramount requirement of M&T is therefore the unequivocal commitment of top management. M&T should be fully integrated into a company's information systems. The 10 case studies being produced under the present contract will be used to encourage more operators in the UK and the EC to institute and benefit from M&T.
