Abstract

The increasing electricity consumption in the public building sector has a significant impact on greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions, which is proportional to the volume of energy used. This study aims to develop an energy-efficient electrical load model to optimize electricity consumption in the headquarters building of PT Semen Padang using the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) approach. In the Plan stage, problem identification was conducted through a Pareto diagram and root cause analysis using a fishbone diagram. The dominant issue identified was energy waste in the lighting system. The solution implemented included the installation of motion sensor-based switch control devices to regulate lighting use automatically. In the Do phase, the devices were installed and tested, while in the Check phase, the evaluation showed a reduction in electricity consumption from over 85,000 kWh per month to below 80,000 kWh per month, resulting in an electricity cost savings of IDR 31 million per month. The Action phase established standards for inputs, processes, and outputs to ensure the sustainability of the improvements made. This study not only provides financial benefits but also supports the company's Energy Management System policy. With the PDCA approach, improvement processes can be carried out systematically and continuously, making a tangible contribution to energy efficiency in the public building sector.

Abstract

Water Plan (WP) is a clean water treatment unit that supplies water for residential areas, offices, and factory operations at PT Semen Padang. One of the main issues faced by WP is the low water level in the canal due to inadequate monitoring by operators, which can lead to operational disruptions and even production shutdowns. This study aims to develop a clean water supply control strategy by implementing an automatic monitoring system using a level switch based on the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) cycle. The research method begins with problem identification through an analysis of the operator's logbook, followed by determining priorities and root causes using the Strategic Risk Severity Matrix and the Nominal Group Technique (NGT). Improvement implementation is carried out by installing a level switch and an alarm in the operator room to ensure automatic water level monitoring. The evaluation results indicate a significant improvement in water supply quality, a reduction in operational disruption risks, and maintenance cost efficiency, with potential water savings reaching 450,000 m³ per month and a reduction in pump repair costs of Rp. 25,000,000. The implementation of this PDCA-based system has proven effective in enhancing the reliability of the clean water supply and supporting continuous improvement in WP PT Semen Padang. In the future, a similar approach can be applied to optimize water resource management in other industrial sectors.

Abstract

Transformator daya merupakan aset kritis dalam sistem kelistrikan industri, di mana kegagalannya dapat menyebabkan kerugian produksi yang signifikan. Studi kasus ini menginvestigasi serangkaian kegagalan berulang pada tiga unit transformator daya tua berkapasitas 30 MVA, 150/6,3 kV di PT Semen Padang, yang telah mengakibatkan terhentinya operasional pabrik. Kegagalan-kegagalan ini, yang termanifestasi sebagai kebocoran minyak, aktivasi Pressure Relief Device (PRD), dan trip pemutus daya, secara konsisten berkorelasi dengan suhu operasi yang tinggi. Melalui pendekatan metodologis yang terstruktur, termasuk analisis akar penyebab menggunakan diagram Ishikawa dan Nominal Group Technique (NGT), pemanasan berlebih (overheating) diidentifikasi sebagai penyebab dominan. Sebagai solusi, sebuah sistem pendingin paksa Oil Natural Air Forced (ONAF) otomatis diimplementasikan dengan biaya rendah
