In order to identify and provide a generalized status, very clear guidelines were developed regarding the activities, techniques, procedures, and tools leading to the establishment, implementation and continuous improvement of the plant's energy consumption management system, which has allowed guiding the organization to a systematic approach to achieve energy performance involving efficiency, safety, use and consumption of energy. The work carried out has allowed the company to identify the savings potentials of the company, in addition to knowing what is the action plan that will allow the company to continuously reduce the cost of energy consumption and the production of greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, a detailed review of the company's current capabilities is carried out, where strengths and weaknesses are identified with a view to the implementation of an Energy Management System based on ISO 50001:2018, an exercise built with the participation of key personnel of the company, in the company of energy managers, finding favorable aspects regarding communication between areas, staff training, management systems and energy planning, among others.
