ASustainability ©
A sustainable planet will provide a healthy biosphere with clean air , water and land for all living things far into the future. Resources will not be consumed at a rate that they can not be replaced.

ASustainability ©
A sustainable organization implements permanent management and operational philosophies that engages a motivated workforce to reduce environmental impacts on all phases of its operations, thereby reducing waste and energy, increasing productivity and reducing costs. These actions promote an organization that is able to thrive in the future.

Many are coming around to conclude that LEAN is the best management philosophy to create a sustainable organization and a sustainable planet.
What is the evidence? LEAN empowers the entire organization to systematically REDUCE WASTE, CONSERVE RESOURCES AND REDUCE ENERGY!!
Dayton Water Conference - The Path to Water Sustainability
Htec systems Slide 12
A principal proponent of LEAN is the U.S. EPA.
epa.gov/lean
• More than 20 federal agencies are using LEAN
• More than 20 state environmental agencies are using LEAN
• A MOU between EPA and ECOS (Mar 10) was signed to use LEAN tools to enhance achievement of environmental goals.
U.S. EPA received Shingo Prize in 2002
LEAN
“Lean for Dummies”, Natalie J. SayerBSME, University of Dayton (1988)
UD Early Leader in LEAN, Professor Carol Shaw formed Center for Competitive Change in Late 1980’s. Now Associated with UDRI and Still Training Personnel.
LEAN
Programs are developed within the LEAN Program:• Water Conservation;• Wastewater Minimization;• Storm Water Management;• Solid Waste Recycling;• Green Chemical Purchasing; and• Energy Conservation; etc. etc.
LEEDPrograms
Leadership in Energy and Environment Design, a program of the U.S. Green Building Council (usgbc.org)
Started in early 1990’s to develop rating system for new buildings to achieve Silver, Gold or Platinum Ratings for New Buildings
There are also certifications for Healthcare, Schools, Retail, Homes
There have been over 32,000 LEED projects There have been over 32,000 LEED projects certified since the program was initiated.certified since the program was initiated.
LEEDPrograms
Operations & Maintenance Certification published in October 2090 for existing buildings and covers:• Sustainable Sites;• Water Efficiency;• Energy and Atmosphere;• Materials and Resources;• Solid Waste Management; • Indoor Air Quality; and• Innovations in Operation.

ReliabilityManagement
(Maintenance)
In many organizations, Maintenance is not revered as some other positions in the plant, EXCEPT when production goes down and all hell breaks loose.
Downtime is critical to an organization whether it is production, healthcare or a large facility.
Dayton Water Conference - The Path to Water Sustainability
Htec systems Slide 19
ReliabilityManagement
(Maintenance)
Maintenance should be changed to Reliability, and that the personnel be assigned to a Continuous Improvement Team.
During downtime, the group is working on improving the systems.
Dayton Water Conference - The Path to Water Sustainability
Htec systems Slide 20
MonitoringAudits
• Continuous Monitoring is mandatory for continuous improvement.
• To qualify for a LEED certified project, the building must have a Building Management Program to monitor in real time, electrical power, natural gas, HVAC performance, water, etc.
• To measure performance improvement, a benchmark must be established.
Dayton Water Conference - The Path to Water Sustainability
Htec systems Slide 21
MonitoringAudits
Auditing is the key to any successful compliance program. Establishing work standards and initiating complex programs, without oversight and periodic monitoring of the program, generally results in a loss of direction and eventually the abandonment of the program altogether. If the organization thinks enough of the program to monitor the progress, then employees will take the program seriously.
