Lean and Green



Lean and Green Case Studies

…yield the power to convince others in organizations

• Make the case for financial benefit

• Point to case studies of top-name organizations saving millions of dollars



Organizations:

LSI Logic and Celestica

Lean and Green Benefit:

Reduced lighting costs by 30%• Switching to energy-efficient lighting• Motion detectors• Low-energy fluorescent bulbs• Also, Agilent Technologies has employees use telephone keypads to

adjust lights in their own work area according to five stages of illumination intensity



Organization:

Texas Instruments


45% reduction of energy per sq. ft.• Finding wasted energy in manufacturing and cafeteria spaces• Creating cold water or ice at night (when demand for energy is lower),

storing in large tanks to cool buildings and processes during the day– This system triples cost savings– Local utility company gives TI cash rebate



Organization:

Agilent Technologies (Scotland)


Saves 50,000 cubic meters of water each year

• Men’s bathroom: urinals used to flush every 5 minutes 24 hours/day

• Now flushing responds primarily to use, with automatic flushes programmed to be less frequent

• Men’s and women’s bathrooms: Water per flush reduced• Closed-loop system for running water through chillers

(ROI in > 1 year)



Agilent Technologies (Scotland)

• Installed cooling, heating, and other equipment in a tunnel constructed underneath the parking lot

• Energy savings

• More attractive to surrounding community

Harry w Reid



Organization:

City of Santa Monica


Reduce urban heat by 15 degrees, with cost savings of nearly 90%

• Light-colored surfaces on rooftops, reflecting heat away from buildings to keep them cool

• Replaced black top with white top on streets– Stronger and only 2” thick

– Lasts 50 years instead of 5 (costs just a little more to install)



Organization:

City of Santa Monica


30% cost reduction for pest management

• Eliminated monthly spraying• Eliminate water sources• Patched entrances• Trained employees not to store food in desk drawers• Uses least hazardous pesticides when needed



Organization:

Kyocera (Japan headquarters building)

Lean and Green Benefit:Solar produces 12.5% of energy needs

• World’s largest vertically installed solar-energy system on urban skyscraper• 1,392 solar panels on the south wall• 504 solar panels on the roof top• Reduced use of petroleum-based energy results in annual reductions of

– 97.2 tons of carbon dioxide in the air– 133 kilograms of sulfur dioxide– 92 kilograms of nitrogen oxide



1. Question wasteful practices, and design Lean and Green steps to benefit profit and planet.

2. Gain endorsement for Lean and Green ideas using business language.

3. Collaborate throughout the organization to meet Lean and Green goals.

4. Measure your organization’s Lean and Green progress, and strive continuously to improve.

Four Steps to Lean and Green

“It’s a good idea to build the plant right--for business efficiency and the environment--from the start.”

--Danny Martland, British Aerospace



Organizations are a second home for employees

• Involve employees in creating Lean and Green ideas for buildings

• Gather a wealth of workable ideas• Encourage green practices at their primary homes
