The Team should now write a proposal based on what was agreed with top management at the evaluation meeting and seek top management approval.
Write this proposal by making use of
- Worksheet 11 - Assessment proposal (for the assessment of new selected focus areas and the feasibility analysis of the additional options selected for further investigation)
- Worksheet 18 - Implementation and monitoring proposal (for additional options selected for implementation and energy management improvement options
Therefore writing this proposal is in fact a combination of preparing and assessment proposal (task 1e) and an implementation and monitoring proposal (task 3c) as part of a new cycle.
Energy management has been integrated into the Methodology, for example:
- The quality of the pre-assessment (task 1c) and assessment (step 2) depend largely on the quality of energy management systems
- Some of the identified options were aimed at improving energy management (task 3b)
- Many of the barriers for options are energy management barriers (task 4a)
For this reason, continuous improvement can only be achieved by effective energy management and integration of energy management into other company processes and systems (see the Energy Management Matrix in Worksheet 3). For example, energy management should be integrated into the same management system for environment, health and safety, quality, and risks.
With the experience the Team now has, they can focus even more on improving energy management in a second cycle of the Methodology. See Company examples for examples from companies that participated in the GERIAP project on how they work for a continuous improvement.
