Assessment

A complete IAC assessment consists of the following four steps:

1. The Pre Assessment Analysis The purpose of this analysis is to collect some preliminary information about the facility and give the IAC team some background data regarding utility bills and usage. This analysis must be completed prior to arranging an assessment date.

2. The Site Visit The IAC team will conduct a one day site visit to study the manufacturing process and to make energy, material waste and productivity related measurements using diagnostic equipment.

3. The Report Within 60 days of the assessment, the IAC team will submit a confidential report to the plant manager detailing the team's analysis and money saving recommendations, along with estimates of related costs, performance, and payback periods.

4. The Follow Up In two to six months after the assessment, the IAC team will contact the plant manager to determine which, if any, of the recommended measures have been implemented. The implementation rate helps to measure the IAC program's success.
