Busca da eficiência global para redução do consumo de energia elétrica

Abstract

In the competitive and capitalist universe the energy resources in some sectors but fundamental to the industry is the key to the success of some companies, being one of the main inputs of the industry. Industrial consumption is increasing, thus necessitating an increase in the supply of electricity, as well as investments in generation, transmission and distribution to meet the industrial demand, despite the existence of alternatives to power generation. Being the lowest in generation costs and in a globalized and competitive world this resource is one of the pillars in the formation of the production costs of many companies, the quality of supply and the costs are decisive for the competitiveness of the national product. The current costs of electricity in Brazil increasingly lower the competitive capacity of companies compared to other countries, boosting the growth decline we have witnessed in the last decades; however, there are ways to adjust in this scenario without major investment, which are mostly high cost, and slow return, which most often ends up not compensating the disbursement of it. There are alternatives in which many managers and entrepreneurs cannot see and absorb to make changes that can be very significant, a matter of managing the existing resources and their efficiencies. Know your limits and master your resources where you can be the main key to success. Using a management tool like the OEE can bring countless relevant results to companies with a negligible investment.
