Modern Industrial Assessments:

A Training Manual

Version 2.0

Modern Industrial Assessments

Modern Industrial Assessments: A Training Manual represents the effort made by the United States' Department of Energy to provide technical training to a range of potential end users interested in performing industrial assessments at small to medium sized manufacturing plants and the effort of course instructor's to provide the best training methods and materials to the new industrial assessors. Industrial assessments, as discussed in this manual, refer to detailed reviews of existing operations with an eye to improving productivity in any of a number of ways.

This page will provide you with the links to view the Modern Industrial Assessment Training Manual. Since the entire manual is rather large (400+ pages), it has been broken into chapters to make viewing and printing easier.

All of the chapters can be viewed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
