The Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy has established E3 - Energy, Environment and Economy to conduct vital business assessments for small- and medium-sized companies regarding lean and clean practices and energy utilization.
On November 17, 2009, the NTEA hosted a FREE, 60-minute Webinar explaining the important principles and concepts of this E3 program. This Webinar has been condensed to a 10-minute web presentation.
A complete E3 Assessment includes:
- A Lean Review leading to increased productivity and reduced costs
- An Energy Audit providing tools and insights for reducing energy demand and costs
- A Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Evaluation teaching companies how to calculate GHG emissions and evaluate reduction strategies
- A Clean Review resulting in water and energy conservation, reduced emissions, and additional cost savings
- Post-Assessment Recommendations guiding each company toward facility improvements, including reduced waste and more efficient use of resources i.e. energy and water.
This informative 10-minute Webinar is now available and provides an overview of the full E3 Assessment Program, including the next steps needed to engage a local MEP representative to assess your business on site. The Webinar also includes insight into the methodology and critical areas where the most significant gains can result.
