Introducing MAS Stephen Fountain Energy Strand Leader – MAS North East
Agenda • What is MAS? • National Programme Results • MAS North East Services • MAS North East Results • The typical journey • MAS NE Approach to energy management • Examples of opportunities identified
What is MAS? • Created in 2002 • Designed to give SMEs access to consulting services normally out of their financial reach • Primary remit is to help companies become more competitive through improvements in QCD
MAS in Numbers • In the year ended in November 2009, MAS nationally: • Handled 12,200 enquires • Performed diagnostics in 6,000 companies • Went on to assist 2,700 of those companies • Generated £145m in increased GVA
MAS NE Services • MAS North East has much wider remit than other regions!
MAS North East Services MAS North East Operational Excellence Design Resource Efficiency Energy Operational Excellence Business process improvement Technical problem solving Organisational issues / systems Help in finding suppliers / products Factory / process layout Supply chain optimisation / planning systems Working Capital Reduction Manufacturing Strategy & policy Deployment Kaizen blitz activities 2 year narrow and deep programmes

MAS North East Services MAS North East Operational Excellence Design Resource Efficiency Energy Energy Best practice advice and guidance Mapping, monitoring and targeting Tariff/Contract reviews Cultural training Technical energy reduction projects
MAS NE in Numbers • Locally, MAS NE: • Worked with over 600 companies • Created GVA of over £30m • Identified potential energy reductions of over £8m • Equates to potential carbon savings of over 40,000 tonnes
MAS NE in Numbers • £2.3m (29%) of energy reductions were within process industry clients • £1.5m from structured energy management • £0.8m from technical energy reduction
MAS NE Customer Journey • Improved GVA • Increased Skills • Jobs created/safeguarded
MAS NE Approach • Structured Energy Management • Get commitment • Policy • Allocation of Resources • Responsibilities • Understand • Why do we use energy? • When do we use energy? • How much do we use? • What does it cost us?
MAS NE Approach • Structured Energy Management • Plan & Prioritise • Prioritise actions and set targets • Implement • No cost solutions • Low cost solutions • Investment solutions • Control & Monitor • Review and compare to initial benchmarks etc
1st Stage - Diagnostic • Step 1 – Get commitment • Cultural review against perceived best practice • Step 2 - Understand • Analysis of available data • Physical review to identify opportunities • Challenge established practices
1st Stage - Diagnostic • Step 3 - Plan & Prioritise • Prioritise findings based on expected impact • Diagnosticfully subsidised to all NE Manufacturers!
1st Stage – Diagnostic (alternative) • In addition to the energy review a MAS NE diagnostic can also be undertaken to:- • Carry out an initial assessment of renewable energy opportunities OR • Review water and waste usage OR • Carry out an EMS gap analysis (14001 etc) • Diagnosticalsofully subsidised to all NE Manufacturers! • (can be and/or with energy review)
2nd Stage – Further Support • Build on diagnostic • E.g. more detailed energy & resources map
2nd Stage – Further Support • Implement • Design studies with cost benefit analysis • Implementation support to ensure benefits achieved • Energy champion training and cultural awareness • Control & Manage • Monitoring & Targeting system specification and implementation • Before and after calculations • 2nd stage partly funded by MAS NE
Examples of Opportunities • Typical Low Cost Opportunities identified:- • Background equipment left running • Set-points to cover all eventualities • Too many cooling water pumps running • Efficiency compromised for convenience • Energy inefficient behaviour • Utility wastage e.g. compressed air or steam • Etc
Examples of Opportunities • Typical Capital Opportunities identified:- • Heat recovery • Combined Heat & Power • Refrigeration upgrades • Lagging upgrades • Pumps and motors • Waste stream reuse options • Water usage reductions • Etc
Summary • MAS NE wider remit than other MAS • £2.3m potential energy savings in process industry clients • Structured approach to energy management • Fully subsidised diagnostics for energy & resource efficiency • Partly funded further support
