Process and Energy Optimization Assessment Level II Analysis. Rock Island Arsenal, IL

Abstract

In summer 2004, researchers from the Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) led a Level I Process and Energy Optimization Assessment at Rock Island Arsenal (RIA). The team identified 36 process and energy improvement ideas that could significantly improve the RIA manufacturing mission readiness and competitive position. Arsenal staffs selected 28 measures for a follow on Level II analysis. This report documents the Level II analysis results and provides recommendation of 15 "appropriation grade" process improvement projects for Army Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP) funding application. If implemented, these projects were estimated to yield annual savings of $0.57M with a total investment of $1.5 M for an average simple payback of 2.6 years. ECIP funding guidance is also included in this report.
