"Sanjeev, We here at SAI would like to say “Thank You” to you and your students for the outstanding job they did evaluating our facility. They came in and got right to work, detailing out every aspect of our energy and utility usage. The final report that was generated was very detailed and gave us some great ideas to reduce costs and emissions in our facility. This type of practical hands on experience is a great learning tool for the students and it also gives us another set of eyes looking at the processes and generating new ideas. We have already started the process of implementing some of these cost saving ideas into our facility. We appreciate all your time and effort the students put forward on this project. "

"In relation to our audit, we also recommended to the company for a MoIAC student internship to follow up with the implementation of the recommendations. As a result, Austin Laramie, a MoIAC student and at the time also enrolled in Bin Wu’s “Industrial Energy Efficiency and Management (MU IMSE 4580)” class, was employed during the summer by the company: According to the company: “ (the MoIAC student) helped to go through the details of every recommendation on the list. This worked great!” From the student (Sep 25, 2017): "Dr. Wu, The IAC program I was involved in was fantastic experience in a very important area of Industrial Engineering. Learning how to directly identify improvement areas in energy efficiency in a factory was great knowledge that can be used generally wherever my degree takes me in industry. Any time I walk into a new manufacturing facility I can immediately recognize energy that is being wasted or can be more efficiently utilized in the plant. Helping organize reports on the recommendations were also great practical application to showing upper-level management how the energy-savings investment is worth while based on a simple payback period from predicted utility bill savings. Your classes helped me grasp a deeper connection with how all of the units in energy efficiency come together to make calculations a breeze. Before taking your class I was clueless on the difference between a kilowatt and a lumen but now I could present these to a class of my own from all the practical experience and practice. Lastly, I can't thank you enough for helping me connect with Hunter Engineering Company which gave me a paid summer internship experience focusing directly on the subjects we talked about in class and did in IAC. From the start of the summer, I had no problems talking to my boss about lighting, air-conditioning, pneumatic, or other systems that was costing the company thousands of dollars in utility bills per year. I had the chance to represent multiple options for energy-saving improvements to their facility and exactly how much they were projected to save from each opportunity. Overall, the IAC program, your classes, and my internship with Hunter Engineering have all dramatically helped my professional industrial engineering skills to make me a better asset for companies in the future. I cannot thank you enough for your patience and believing in all my potential. Hope to see you soon, Austin Laramie Industrial & Manufacturing Systems Engineering University of Missouri - Columbia""

"On behalf of the Richmond MO team, I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for you and your team coming out to conduct the energy assessment. Your team traveled over 2 hours each way to reach our site, and spent the day exploring all the opportunities in our plant to reduce energy. We were sincerely grateful for you and your team. We were especially impressed by the depth of knowledge and experience you have, and the enthusiasm of everyone to learn about our processes. We came out of the visit with several focus areas to pursue, and are eager to start working once we receive your final report. Please extend our thanks to everyone on your team. We couldn’t be more grateful to have encountered this program you offer. You will give us a way to move forward to address our biggest energy challenges, and as a result, to reduce cost, energy consumption, and make the plant more comfortable for employees. We look forward to our follow up discussions once you have put together your recommendations. I would highly recommend every production plant to tap into the resources your top notch team has to offer. You are truly remarkable in your level of experience and expertise. Best regards,"

These completed recommendations will result in actual cost savings, reduction in CO2 emissions, a reduction in electric and natural gas consumption. You and your team are always welcome at O'Fallon Casting. Thanks Joseph J.Kaufman Human Resource & Environmental Mgr. "

"Thank you and your professional students for the collaborative time auditing and understanding our facility which provided excellent assessment recommendations in which to reduce operating cost and the subsequent CO2 emissions. I would be interested in a follow up that shows expected annual savings from what we have done or expect to complete by year end."

"Such a wonderful opportunity - you can use me as a reference anytime!" "Dr. Wu, Thank you for the follow up to the audit you and the students performed last year. I found the observations very insightful and relevant to our manufacturing operation. It was extremely helpful to learn how to quantify the savings. It is easy to overlook and avoid making the investments until you place a value on what it costs you in energy costs. Though we are unable to implement some of the items we've taken the first steps with trading out the light fixtures throughout the facility as suggested by your audit team. Best regards, Drew Dubray General Manger Koken Manufacturing"
