5.0 COMPANY OPERATIONS

The companys operations start from receiving of raw materials from suppliers for storage to ensure that the company is always stocked with raw materials to work with. Food processing starts by washing and cutting of the raw vegetables and raw food based on the order for the day. The washed vegetables and food are then transferred to the processing machine where chemicals are added. The prepared food is then packaged and batched for easy traceability. Finished food is either stored in the fridge or is transported to the various cus tomers that ordered. Evjim food manufacturing company has over the last two decades used the same machines for all its operations. The companys turnover for 2010 was 8million out of which 5% was spent on maintenance of all equipments and machines of the company, 8% on energy,5%on water and sewage,6% on waste and, 14% on purchase of raw materials, 55% on salaries of workers, fines paid as a result of nonPage 6 of 29 GYASI EVANS AKWASI-MSC OIL AND GAS MANAGEMENT

M52 COURSE WORK

compliance to legislation 3% of turnover, and profit for the year was 4% of total turnover. The breakdowns for the various expenses are detailed below which has warranted the need to improve upon the companys performance in this competitive market.  Maintenance cost was 5% which amounted to 400,000 of the turnover and was spent as follows  200,000 was used to maintain processing machines alone for the whole year. There were 10 major breakdowns of the machines under review which had a bid toll on the company.  100,000 was used for vehicles maintenance since each vehicle visited the mechanic workshop at least 3 times every week. Again, spare parts and other services account for this huge cost.  100,000 was used to refurbish the companys building due to the collapse of the warehouse as a result of heavy down pour which erased half of the structure.  The company spent 640,000(8% of turnover) on energy for all its operations under the year under review.  Cost of electricity was 5.38p/kwh. 55762kwhrs was used hence the cost of electricity was 5.38*55762kwh=300,000  Cost of gas was 20p/kwh while 7,000,000kwh was used. It implies that the cost of gas was 20p*7000000=140,000  Cost of fuel was 1.86p/litre and 107527litres was used. Hence the cost was 1.86*107527=200,000  Evjim Company requires a lot of water for its operations. The company spent 5%. An amount of 400,000 was spent in that respect which represented 5% of turnover. There was a major leak of water which is part of such a high cost in water consumption since the water pipes were very old and had not been maintained for the past 20 years.  Waste cost was 480,000 which was 5% of turnover  Sewage disposal was 180,000 for the whole year  Effluent discharge cost was 30p/m3 and amounted to 100,000
Page 7 of 29 GYASI EVANS AKWASI-MSC OIL AND GAS MANAGEMENT

ISD: 3578933

M52 COURSE WORK

 Other waste treatments cost 200,000 for the year  The company found defaulting on several occasions which led to fines.  Improper waste handling and sewage fines paid was 120,000  Safety issues on the companys premises was found to be very low hence was charged 100,000  Refusal to meet legislations, regulations and specifications cost the company 100,000 in 2010.  Raw materials for production and packaging stood at 14% of turnover. This covered cost of:  Vegetables and other ingredients  Raw food for processing  Packaging materials needed for packaging the finished product  Chemicals for the processing The above listed cost and breakdowns cover all the operational expenses for the company in 2010. This high expenditure coupled with concerns raised by the legislatorsof the food manufacturing industry and customers gave call to management to implement ISO 14001 to improve its operation and win back the confidence of its customers and legislators.

7.0 Environmental Improvement plan.

The management of Evjim after accessing the low performance of the company and the environmental aspects register identified key areas of improvement in the activities of the company. The Project Manager was tasked with developing an environmental improvement programme for each year. All financial savings made from the strategy has been planned to be reinvested in further environmental improvements. As part of strategies to be implemen ted to help in achieving certification of ISO 14001, the 4 key aspects of the companys processes identified for attentio n in the first five years were: Annual Targets Energy management Energy consumption reduction to 1.5% annually Objective To efficiently use fuel to reduce fuel consumption and emissions to air. Waste Management / Resource use. Annually reduce waste production by 2%. Zero waste to landfill within 5years.

M52 COURSE WORK

Five year environmental strategy developed has been outline for the company. The company aims at getting ISO14001 certification in the next four years by successful implementation and maintenance of this five -year strategic plan. Details of the improvement plans for each year is described in the section below.
Improvement Plan - Year 1 1) Energy Management- year 1 Good house keeping

Data gathered from the electricity company confirmed that the rise in the companys electricity consumption were as a result of inefficient energy use, old energy consuming equipments. Actions taken for the first year includes;  All machines and office equipments left on after work as thought that the security personnel switched them off would be switched off after the days activities supervised by the officer in charge of operations for the day.  Lights and heaters in the visitors room are left on all d ay even when people are not around. Lights in rooms where there is no activity going on would be switched off.  Heating system would be put off at working hours since processing machines generates enough heat for the rooms which makes it a waste to still sw itch on heaters all day.  Heater and hot water from taps were found to be very hot. Thermostat was adjusted.

Energy savings for first year = 1.5%

2) Waste-year 1 Waste Reduction training

Evjim food company environmental team brainstormed to identify the various aspect of waste where the company could reduce to cut down cost. It was noted that the main cause of the high waste cost incurred in 2010 was largely due to inadequate problem solving and weak continuous improvement culture in the companys waste management processes. It was reviewed that half of the waste could have been avoided through sustainedcontinuous improvement. Actions to mitigate this include ;  Damages during manufacturing process would be reused by heating.  Staff would be trained to comply with laid down procedures in all processings to minimise waste as possible  Operator processing and handling errors and change overs would be critically monitored to reduce waste from unmonitored processes  Regular maintenance of machines and checks Waste reduction plan savings for year 1 = 5%

3) Water Consumption and Sewage - year 1

Training on Efficient use of water and disposal

It was discovered through daily data gathered by the Environmental department of the company that, the company waste a lot of water daily. The major key areas of critical concern were flushing of toilets, washing of hands and improper closure of taps after hand washed. It was revealed that daily water wasted through this was equivalent to water needed to run a day s manufacturing in the company. The analysis below shows the details:

This would save 30% of water use in washing vegetables and food Water consumption and sewage saving for year 1 =2% cost per day (250*4*6*.10)=600 Annual cost (340*600) =204,000

4) Employment Plan-year 1 No Replacement strategy for retirees

Based on the data provided by the staff, it was discovered that 10% of the employees would be due for retirement in the first year. Hence 440,000 would be saved as a result of the no repl acement plan adopted for retire es.

No replacement savings for year 1 = 5.5%

Improvement Plan - Year 2 1) Energy Management-year 2

Installation of sub metres and energy saving gadgets

As part of the Companys strategy to reduce its environmental impact, sub meters and heat absorbers would be installed in year two to minimise energy cost. Prior to a study conducted by the environmental department of the company, these estimates were arrived.  Conventional bulbs consumes a lot of energy (4p/watt) compared to energy saving bulbs (2p/watt). Hence energy saving bulb at a cost of 1200 would save 50% the cost of the use of conventional energy bulbs.  Processing plant boiler was discovered to waste heat. It is estimated that 1 degree reduction in temperature saves 8% on heating cost (Carbon Trust, 2010: GJL141).  Electricity sub meters installation at a cost of 2500 would help to identify and spread out demands to reduce charges from suppliers during peak and off peak seasons. Installation of sub metres and energy saving s for year 2 =1.3%

2) Waste Management-year 2

Waste Segregation and Disposal Alternative

Evjim food manufacturing company suffered a fine of 10,000 for not segregating its waste. Remains from vegetables and food were mixed with chemicals, oil and trimmings from packaging. Actions to remedy the situation include;

Page 16 of 29 GYASI EVANS AKWASI-MSC OIL AND GAS MANAGEMENT

ISD: 3578933

M52 COURSE WORK

 Waste pins would be position at various point of waste generation to ensure ways of the same disposal process is kept in the same bin.  Waste separator would be checked at regular intervals during the processing to ensure that the right waste is stored in the right bin  Waste would be compacted to reduce its volume. It is estimated that compacting waste alone saves 15% of waste disposal cost  Written instructions of all waste handled by the company would be highly adhered to by punishing non -compliance staff to these measures. Waste Segregation and Disposal Alternative savings for year 2 = 3%

3) Water Consumption and Sewage-year 2

Installation of monitoring Equipments

Sub meters and cisterns would be installed to monitor and reduce water wastage. Cisterns have the ability to store 105litres per flush and hand wash.  102,000 would be saved which is 25% on the cost of flushing and washing of hands per 2010 figures of the company.  Water leaks were identified and repaired. Regular checks would be done weekly to check all leaks and maintenance done accordingly.  Percussion push taps and flush control equipments would be in stalled at a cost of 1500. Water usage would reduce by 5%. Installation of monitoring Equipments savings year 2 = 1.3%

4) Employment Strategy-year 2

5% of the employees would go on retirement while 1% have notified management of their resignation.as part of the companys vision to diversify

and achieve ISO 14001 in its 4 th year of the strategic plan, the company has in would not replace those employees but would buy new automated machinery at a cost of 8600 that requires lesser people. This would save the company 264,000. Savings for non-replacement for year 2 = 2.6%

Improvement Plan - Year 3

1) Energy Management-year 3

2) Waste Management-year 3 Purchasing of New Sewage Machine and Processing Plant

Page 18 of 29 GYASI EVANS AKWASI-MSC OIL AND GAS MANAGEMENT

ISD: 3578933

M52 COURSE WORK

In the companys bid to achieving ISO 14001, Evjim food manufacturing would buy new processing machines for all its operations at an estimated cost of 12,500. It was recorded that in 2010, 5% of the companys waste was caused as a result of the usage of the old processing machines for the company.  Multi-purpose Ointment manufacturing plant which has pre -filtration unit, storage vessel, control panel, working platform and product piping would be installed. This would save in total 13% of waste generated by processing alone.  The ability of the machine to regenerate and store power from the waste it produces would also save the environment and hence would help in the process of achieving the ISO standards. Purchasing of New Sewage Machine and Processing Plant savings for year 3 =2%

3) Water Consumption and Sewage - year 3 Alternative Supplier

A survey was conducted and it was identified that the companys current water supplier is high compared to other service providers. Item Sewage Cost Water cost Current Supplier 50/tonne 10p/litre Alternative Supplier 48/tonne 8p/litre

 2 would be saved on every tonne of waste which is 4% of cost of sewage and effluent treatment foe potion for alternative supplier  81,600 would be saved on water for switching to a lternative supplier(Severn Trent,2011) Alternative Supplier savings for year 3 = 1.4%

4) Employment Plan- year 3

According to the statistics 4% of the employees would retire by year three and 2% have been estimated to leave. This would save the company 264,000 which would help in getting the ISO 14001 certification. Savings on employment for year 3 = 4.5%

Improvement Plan - Year 4 1) Energy Management Installation of wind turbines

In the quest to obtain ISO 14001 and meeting all regulations requirements related to its processes, the company would install wind panels to trap and store wind for generation of energy for the operations of the company.  Site analysis was done to measure the local wind speed and was found to be appropriate for wind energy produc tion  Wind turbines of 2MW,utility system upgrades, transformers, protection metering equipment, insurance, warranty, maintenance and repair c ost for the installation is 1million which would save 90% of energy cost.  All the heating and cooling, lighting, h eating of water and operating appliances for the year would be 100% powered by the solar energy generated.  The turbine has the capacity to generate 600watt of energy per day which can cover the energy need of the company and the remaining sold to nearby residents. It was estimated that sales for the extra energy generated would generate 150,000 annually. Installation of wind turbines savings for year four - 100%

2) Waste Management-year 4 Recycle of waste generated

With the installation of new machines, the company would switch to internal recycling of its waste generated. Recycler would be installed at a cost of 12 ,000.  Metal packaging of food would be changed to paper packaging for easy recycling. This would save cost of packing and energy needed for recycling.  Suppliers of the companys raw materials have agreed to package all raw materials for the company with recyclable materials.

Recycle of waste savings for year 4 = 2%

3) Water Consumption and Sewage -year 4 Primary Sewage Treatment

A study was conducted and was reviewed that sewage cost would fall by 20 -25% if it goes through primary treatment to remove all particles and dangerous chemicals before discharge (www.fao.org)  Trickling filters would be installed at a cost of 1650 which would filter food particles and other chemicals  Injection of waste chemicals for processing would be done which has the capacity to reduce cost by 0.5%(Environwise.wrap.co.uk, 2009) Primary Sewage Treatment savings for year 4 = 1.5%

4) Employment Plan- year 4

The staff strength in year four would fall to 120 as 2% would retire that year. Savings for year four would be invested in getting ISO 14001 certification. As per the study done by the research group of the company the non -replacement of the retirees

would not have any adverse effects on the company sinc e automated equipments are in place to speed up processes. Savings for the four year = 2 %

ISO 14001 CERTIFITION PROGRAME SECHEDULE

The company aims at achieving ISO14001 certification by strictly following the outlined plan below. The schedules for each year toward the attainment of ISO 14001 have been clearly defined in the Gantt chart attached in Appendices A. The cost of the certification would be catered by the savings accrued from the environmentalstrategy implemented. The estimated cost for the attainment of ISO 14001 for the company is detailed below.

Improvement Plan- Year 5 1) Energy Management-year 5

It was identified that with the new machines in place, installation of new high electric motors would save energy by 3% over the standard motors(Envirowise 2003: GG77e).  New vehicles would be purchased to cut down fuel and maintenance cost.  Regular plan for maintenance and servicing of machines have been drafted to make sure machines work efficiently and use energy as efficiently as possible. Savings for year 5 = 100%

2) Waste Management-year 5 Anaerobic Digestion and Compositing

The company aims at producing its own vegetables for all its manufacturing. In light of this composting and anaerobic digesting would be considered to restore the fifty hectares of land the company owns to cultivate vegetables.  5% of cost on raw materials would be saved as a result of the company producing its own vegetables  It would reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill and hence its cost involved  Extra compost would be sold to other soil growers. Savings for year five = 95%

3) Water Consumption and Sewage Treatment of all Waste

The company would treat all its sewage and effluent internally
Page 25 of 29 GYASI EVANS AKWASI-MSC OIL AND GAS MANAGEMENT

ISD: 3578933

M52 COURSE WORK

 A pole hole would be constructed and its equipments at a cost of 80,000 to help treat all sewage and effluent discharge  Appropriate permit and legislations would be acquired in that effect  A treatment tank would be purchase to treat all the sewage and effluent discharges of the company. Savings for year five = 100
