Overview: The Monroe plant, located in Monroe, Michigan, employs over 2200 people and produces a variety of structured metal parts such as coil springs, sway bars, driveshafts and catalytic converters for the automotive industry. The leak management program that the Monroe Team developed was unique because it combined the traditional air leak program with innovative implementation and marketing. The energy team also developed posters to illustrate the cost of air leaks, as well as other causes of energy waste. As a result of the leak management program, compressed air system consumption was reduced by more than 50% on a per production unit basis.
