Abstract

This study in pharmaceutical packaging manufacturing focuses on improving compressed air efficiency through targeted strategies at both the source and user levels by establishing a baseline to analyze energy consumption patterns. Key measures, including minimizing air leaks, adjusting pressure, and optimizing compressor performance, aim to achieve a 20-50% increase in efficiency, thereby supporting environmental sustainability. The User Point and Source Point approaches are expected to lower Specific Power Consumption (SPC), with data collected from December 2020 to May 2022 providing insights into potential energy savings. Establishing this baseline, based on machine runtime and productivity, offers a solid foundation for evaluation. Results show a 23% reduction in compressor electricity usage and a 7-8% decrease in compressed air consumption. A structured improvement process and strong collaboration between engineering and management are essential for enhancing productivity and achieving sustainable energy efficiency in the industrial sector.

Abstract

The manufacturing sector in Batam faces increasing pressure from rising energy costs and operational inefficiencies. This study investigates how integrating risk management frameworks, specifically ISO 31000 and FMEA, can enhance energy efficiency in manufacturing operations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of energy consumption data from selected firms with qualitative insights from interviews with key industrial stakeholders. Baseline energy performance was established, and operational risks were assessed and prioritized. Findings show that outdated machinery, poor maintenance, and unplanned downtimes significantly contributed to energy inefficiency. Implementation of risk-based interventions led to measurable improvements in energy use and cost reduction. Firms adopting the integrated approach reported that 15% energy saving in PT X results in operational cost savings of $ 29.994, and 10% energy saving in PT Y results in operational cost savings of $ 23.952. The Return on Investment (ROI) from implementing an integrated energy risk management strategy is estimated to reach 18 months to 20 months, based on reduced energy consumption and increased productivity. The study underscores the importance of tailored risk-energy frameworks in industrial settings and suggests avenues for future research in broader contexts.
