Abstract
Nestlé is a multinational food and beverage company that manufacture and process a wide variety of foods, from crisps and confectionery to beverages and convenience foods. This study was conducted at Breakfast Cereals (BFC) Plant of Nestlé Lipa Factory since the plant had been exceeding the 5.08 GJ/MT energy standard 89% of the time from January 5 to July 5, 2015. The plant uses seams, electricity, and LPG as energy sources, and an average of Php 477, 859.75 weekly additional cost is incurred every time the plant exceed the standard. After using DMAIC, a six stigma methodology, the proponent first found that the 5.08 GJ/MT energy standard is incorrect, and provided a revised calculation for the new energy standard. Root causes for high energy consumption were then determined, and assuming that all action plans are implemented, a total of 43.05% can be reduced in BFC Plant's energy consumption.
