Energy auditing and production planning for a tire manufacturing plant

Abstract

For sustainable industrial business development and performance, the energy auditing and management with regards to baseline ISO 50001 is an excellent methodology for a company to run its business in order to maximize its operational efficiency with continuous improvement. In today's world with the increasing number of vehicles, production along with the quality of tyres is increasing day by day. Tire manufacturing is a stepwise systematic approach consisting of 10 different processes with high energy consumption. ➢common services & utilities, ➢process equipment, and will be illustrated on a Sankey diagram. The paper shows the components assembled to produce a tire (tire production process and equipment description), the various material used, the manufacturing process and machinery, production planning for 2019 and analyses electricity consumption of a tire manufacturing company. The electricity consumption during the tire manufacturing process will be analyzed in two groups: The paper describes the methodology of the production & energy planning based on the production plan (2018) and gives recommendations to save energy, as well.
