Zero Emission Factories

Zero Emission means: No energy, no raw material and no time would be wasted… Is this possible?

Yes. A handful of zero emission factories exist in Japan.

Will this be expensive?

No. It is not what you put into the product that makes the product too expensive; it is what the customer does not receive, yet pays for.

Imagine how much energy goes into the factory. How much actually goes into the product and how much somehow gets lost…?

Think about all the raw materials not ending up in the sold product?

And how many labour hours…

OEE Coach wants to enable to create Zero Emission Factories: Factories where no resources are being wasted.

In a Zero Emission Factory:

• All products are being produced to specifications:  No scrap or subspec is being produced;  Zero Defect
• All ingoing raw materials either go into the product OR can be fully reused: Zero waste of Materials.
• All products continuously flow from one value addition to another: Zero waste of Time
• All water and air being used comes out same or better than before: No Pollution;  Zero waste of water and air
• Any humans involved gain quality of life and add value: Zero waste of Human Capital

• Even in the best western factories, huge amounts of energy and resources are being wasted day by day; this is often being considered to be normal or inevitable…
• Prices of Energy and Resources keep going up. Demand keeps growing, sources are becoming increasingly scarce: this will not change…
• Wasted resources usually are easily being paid for, however it is far more difficult to find fundings to eliminate these losses…
• It is often believed that eliminating losses is expensive and there is no time to do so. The contrary is true: If you have time and money to fund day by day occurring losses, you should definitely have the time and resources to eliminate them for once and forever.

Never accept the waste of precious resources,

since you would accept the waste of the future.

In December 2019, the European Commission published its ambition to become climate neutral in 2050: The Green Deal.

In a Zero Emission Factory, energy is used to create value and is not being wasted. No materials are being wasted, nothing is polluting the environment and for the shareholders the best: What you do not waste, you do not have to pay for!

Producing Zero waste is the most cost-effective way of production!
