Jim Parshall, from Eli Lilly and Company, presented on green MOM.
What we're going to talk about:
Current state of affairs
Examples from industry
What’s driving change and objectives for manufacturing
Moving forward with WBF
sus·tain·able – of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged [Merriam-Webster]
sus·tain·abil·i·ty – a characteristic of a process or state that can be maintained at a certain level indefinitely [Wikipedia]
Considerations?
• Landfill Capacity
• Global Warming
• Peak Oil
Focus for this Discussion
• Improve manufacturing operations
• Develop manufacturing processes to support innovative green product changes
• Find alternative usages for by-products produced
A Few of the Early Adopters or rather Activists: Ben and Jerry's, Patagonia, Body Works
Mainstream Manufacturing Examples: Dow and DuPont have Chief Sustainability Officers, with sustainability links on home pages. P&G doubling concentration on liquid products. Unilever reconfiguring All and Suave. Coors, distilling waste beer into ethanol; Texas Instruments reusing silicon wafers for solar. General Mills burning oat hulls for energy and repackaging products. Otis is producing regenerating elevators.
Eli Lilly – Green Past & Present
• History of improving energy efficiency
• Lighting and motor retrofits
• HVAC off-hours temperature adjustments
• High-efficiency chillers
• Compressor air leak surveys and repairs
• Fountain as cooling tower
• But we could have done better
• On-again/off-again recycling programs
• Non-mandatory energy evaluations in past capital projects
• Efforts underway today
• Energy teams at sites
• Cogeneration
• Energy & Waste Reduction Fund (created in 2006)
Driving Change
• Policy – Government
• Laws: Emissions, Fuel economy
• Taxes: Fuel taxes, Carbon tax, Green tax credit
• Global agreements: Kyoto Protocol
Objectives for Manufacturing
Reduce amount of raw material used
Reduce energy consumed
Reduce by-products (waste) produced and/or find alternative usages for by-products produced
Adapt processes for innovative product changes
Moving Forward – Role for WBF
• Consider the standards WBF has helped to shape or has evangelized
• What can WBF do to apply those same standards to help drive greener manufacturing?
Example Opportunities for WBF
• Evangelize
• Publish sustainability application examples
• Sustainability manufacturing theme for webcast or annual conference
Application Examples
• S88
• Recipe templates that include by-product accountability
• Energy management equipment module reference designs
• Regen / energy capture reference designs
• S95
• Process and facility energy and waste management definitions
• MES reconciliations for waste or by-product
• Discrete operations
• Principles and practices standard for operations efficiency behaviors and reporting
• Facility management
• BMS optimization standards
