Abstract

The accentuated importance of energy management has resulted in the introduction of ISO50001standard on energy management system. However, implementation of this standard is still at its infancy with many companies hesitant to adopt it. This paper presents a case of a Malaysian Copper manufacturer which implemented Energy Management System (EnMS) standard via the use of PDCA approach. Data was collected using participant observation approach. It was observed that the copper manufacturer achieved energy saving up to 3% in June 2013. This finding substantiates the importance of having Energy Management System in place to ensure business sustainability.
