Communication

As in every phase in the implementation of energy management, here, too, communication is extremely important. During the ACT phase your organization responds to the outcome of the measurements. This may mean that work instructions need more detailing or that procedures need to change. Involve all of the relevant individuals in this process. Indicate where modifications are needed and what results are expected.

Here, too, you need to allow your staff to think with you about possible improvements and modifications. Keep management well informed so that it is always clear what the time, resources and manpower are being used for. Failing to immediately achieve the objectives is not a failure. Look on the positive side and search together with the others involved for possibilities for adjusting measures so that the intended objective can be achieved.
