Strategic Energy Management Model in A Cement Plant in Indonesia

Abstract

A cement plant was required to provide consistency of its energy performance through energy system implementation and a third-party certification. However, the plant has not an energy system in place to answer the quick demand apart from routine energy measurement. Energy design and implementation of management system (EDIM) based on ISO 50001: 2018 and the Pearce II and Robinson's strategic management model is then made and implemented to answer the problem. The ISO model contributes much on operational risks whilst the second emphasizes on strategic ones. The study applies qualitative method through interactions with 2 energy experts in strategic and management system and 3 plant staff dealing with energy and management system. Interview, notetaking and written comments are done to get themes of the issues. The investigation results in that the EDIM model has fully met requirements of the ISO 50001 as well as the strategic management model. It has provided adequate implementable framework and easily applied to attain energy performance indicators. Problems, though, are emerged during implementation due to separated strategic actions with operational practices including use of new energy-management terms asking for longer time to be comprehended. In conclusion, consistent energy performance in current business situation can be assured through the model consisting of strategic and operational components.
