Alternative Energy Choices, Conservation, And Management: A Primer For Advanced Manufacturing Managers, Jeffrey M. Ulmer, Troy E. Ollison

International Journal of Applied Management and Technology

Manufacturing managers need to understand the interrelated links between advanced manufacturing technology, primary and alternative energy choices, energy output values and costs, and energy conservation over the life of a project. Through an overview of these topics and the manager’s energy conservation processing optimization model developed in this paper, manufacturing managers, engineering technologists, and academics gain greater insight to the impacts of energy technologies upon manufacturing activities.
