Implementing PDCA in ISO50001

IMPLEMENTING PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT IN ISO 50001 EnMS

 

 

 

Application of PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT (PDCA) continual improvement structure in ISO 50001 EnMS ensures results.

 

 

 

PLAN COMPONENTS OF ISO 50001
Regulatory and Legal requirements — Identify, plan and ensure compliance to the regulatory and legal requirements affecting organization’s energy usage
 
Energy usage breakdown — List all energy usage, identify significant users, analyze consumption data and determine the opportunities for energy performance improvement.
 
Energy baseline — Define the period for comparison of energy performance.
 
Energy performance indicators (EnPIs) — Define the metrics to be measured, frequency of benchmarking and responsible person(s).
 
Objectives and targets — Set energy performance improvement targets and responsible person(s).
 
Energy management action plans — Plan the actions, responsibilities and methods needed to achieve and verify the improvements stated in the energy objectives and targets.

 

 

DO ACTIVITIES TO IMPLEMENT ISO 50001
Competence, training and awareness — Provide training to employees and stake holders to ensure awareness and capability to carry out energy management responsibilities.
 
Communication — Setup flow for both internal and external communication on EnMS progress and results.
 
Documentation — Maintain documented information on the EnMS.
 
Control of documents — Setup processes to ensure current and accurate data/information is documented and available.
 
Operational control — Plan the operations associated with your significant energy uses, objectives and targets, and action plans to ensure that those operations are resourced and carried out consistently.
 
Design — Consider opportunities for improving energy performance in design activities for new, modified or renovated facilities, equipment, systems and processes.
 
Procurement — Make energy performance a factor in purchasing decisions when significant energy uses are involved.

 

 

CHECK TO ENSURE EFFECTIVENESS OF ISO 50001
Monitoring, measurement and analysis — Measure, monitor and manage the activities that determine energy performance.
 
Evaluation of compliance — Assess the status of compliance with applicable regulatory and legal requirements and other energy requirements adopted by or committed to by the organization.
 
Internal audit — Verify that the EnMS is functioning properly and generating the planned results.
 
Nonconformities, correction, corrective and preventive action — Identify and correct actual and potential problems.
 
Control of records — Maintain information that indicates the results achieved or provides evidence of the activities performed.

 

 

ACT BY MANAGEMENT FOR CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT OF ISO 50001
Management review — Review the results and performance of the EnMS and take action to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy, effectiveness and continual improvement in energy performance.
