At Cummins, Michael Norbeck developed an energy management scorecard for company facilities worldwide. The tool will provide site-level energy use and performance data needed to assess and drive progress toward Cummins' recently-adopted energy intensity and greenhouse gas reduction goals
The tool has two components – an energy balance framework and a performance scorecard – which will facilitate site-level energy use monitoring and establish common metrics for tracking site performance and energy management. These outputs, in turn, will provide a foundation for capital investment and strategic decision making at the global and corporate levels. It may also build a culture of ownership and accountability around site-level energy use.
