Module 3 — Energy and Reliability
Covers energy management and equipment reliability practice.
What you will be able to do
Reduce the energy used per garment: measure intensity, find the largest consumers, rank efficiency actions by payback, and keep power reliable enough that production never waits.
The practical work
Use twelve months of utility bills and production output: calculate kilowatt-hours per garment, identify the three largest consumers, and write the two efficiency actions with the shortest payback.
Prerequisite: Read module 2 and pass its quiz first.
