THE CHALLENGE
A successful, family-run company with extensive experience in the processing industry faced a rapid increase in operating costs and resource spending, due to a radical increase in production volume. Because of the above, the management of the company has decided to launch: 1) the project of core business process optimization; 2) investment project into energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. However, the company did not have enough human and financial resources for the parallel implementation of both projects, particularly as the EE / OIE segment emerges from their expertise.
THE SOLUTION
Apsolon’s experts specializing in the energy segment proposed a model of interim management and took over the preparation of the EE / OIE project, in order for the management of the company can devote themselves to processes reengineering. Specifically, Apsolon has found and selected trusted partners on the client’s behalf with the required technical resources, references, and experience, who will propose and design the technical solutions necessary to reduce operating costs. In addition, Apsolon co-ordinated a consortium of 4 involved parties and worked together with technical partners to prepare project technical documentation, draft the main project, prepare technical specifications and choose the desired solution, and then prepare the project application needed to co-finance the project from ESI funds.
THE RESULT
After successful cooperation with Apsolon, the client obtained a 10 million HRK of non-refundable grants with minimal involvement of its own employees, invested in EnU / OIE solutions (renovation of the building envelope, photovoltaic plant implementation, the introduction of heat crane and replacement of lighting), achieved passive building and thus achieved significant resource savings.
