Abstract
In this case study, the warehouse was facing an impending energy crisis. Saving energy, finding and using alternative sources of energy were equally important. The potential benefits of using green initiatives may enhance the strategic process for managing movement and storing products. The purpose of this study was to discuss different approaches to save energy and delay the energy crisis as much as possible. Green and Energy Value Stream Mapping (EVSM) was an efficient approach to show areas where energy was wasted. These approaches reduced energy consumption by 25 c/kWh, which meant each manufactured product can save R4 /kWh. This study proposed Green and EVSM (GEVSM) factors to drive the future of the logistic warehouse.
