Energy System Analysis Procedure (ESAP).
Abstract
Energy is vital to any production program and an energy shortage can substantially affect industrial production. The objective of this research project was to develop a system for analyzing the impact of various degrees of energy reductions (shortages) during crises on industrial production facilities participating in Industrial Preparedness Planning (IPP) programs. The researcher developed an Energy System Analysis Procedure (ESAP) for assessing the effects of energy reduction on production planning. The total energy requirements for manufacturing activities are analyzed for their effects on production. The method involves programming of the plant or facility in question from the viewpoint of physical units. The research recommended that the Air Force implement a system to evaluate the effects of energy reduction of IPP plant capabilities and work to enact an energy priority regulation for plants with the IPP program. Also, the research found that most IPP programs are out of date and are not being updated and reviewed periodically. (Author)
