Methodology to Produce a Water and Energy Stream Map (Wesm) in the South African Manufacturing Industry

Abstract: The increasing demand for water and energy in South Africa, and the capacity constraints and restrictions of both resources, have led to a rapid increase in their cost. The manufacturing industry remains South Africa's third-largest consumer of water and secondlargest consumer of national energy. The improvement of water and energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important theme for both organisational success and national economic sustainability. This paper presents the 'lean based water and energy str… Show more

“…Numerous studies published in 2016 had proven the effectiveness of the VSM tool for improving sustainability performance. Davies and van der Merwe [38] in their conceptual paper suggested the Water and Energy Stream Map (WESM) framework for interpreting baseline water and energy demand data in the South African manufacturing industry by using statistical forecasting methodology. The authors indicated that the WESM framework can lead to an improvement in water and energy efficiency in the manufacturing industry.…”

“…A total of 19 articles clearly illustrated the sustainable performance before and after improvement via both current and future state maps (33%). Two articles only showed the performances after improvement through future state map [38,47]. However, 18% of the articles did not implement any current and future state maps.…”
