%X Lean principles are mainly used for increasing
productivity, reducing lead time, and eliminating waste.
Energy impacts can also be assessed by using the lean
principles. The objective of this paper is to measure
the impact of Lean Manufacturing tools on energy
consumption, with the base assumption that they
should help decrease it. The methodology assesses and
documents the energy utilization as a part of VSM. A pilot application in an industrial setting is presented.
