Abstract
Presently, with the development of modern manufacturing system, the usage of energy is growing rapidly. Since most of fuel we use are non-renewable resources, fuel becomes a very big part of cost. How to use the energy more efficiently is the main concern now. This thesis provides a systematic method to evaluate the energy efficiency of a production system and decompose the unnecessary energy waste of a manufacturing facility from the measured data with stochastic frontier analysis model. A new energy efficiency indicator is developed for the energy consumption level and efficiency of machines and production lines. Energy savings opportunity widows are applied to maximize energy consumption efficiency and enable the rearranging of the scheduled maintenance without permanent production loss. | 71 pages
