Organizations run the risk of negating the positive impact of environmental services when they fail to incorporate operational efficiency.
McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting firm, says, “Efficient manufacturing processes and supply chains don’t just cost less to run; they also consume less energy, use fewer resources, and produce less waste.”
A few reasons for the importance of operational efficiency in environmental services include:
Effective Environmental Services
Organizations can improve performance through operational efficiency, whether it’s pollution control, site remediation, or habitat restoration. Reaching better environmental outcomes contributes to long-term environmental health, including helping minimize the use of natural resources and reducing waste — both essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems.
For example, “optimizing the control of blast furnaces with better sensors and improved analytics can reduce coal consumption by 10 to 15 percent in steel production,” reports McKinsey.
One common inefficiency in current operations is poor resource allocation, including materials, labor, and time.
Regulatory Compliance Through Operational Efficiency
Environmental services regulations are stringent and often have changing standards. By following these strict guidelines, organizations can avoid fines, delays, legal issues, and other penalties through operational efficiency.
Manual processes can be prone to human error, leading to increased labor costs and slower operations.
Cost Reduction Thanks to Operational Efficiency
Operational efficiency lowers costs by reducing resource consumption and waste and avoiding redundancies.
Recycling can lead to a significant reduction in material costs. For example, according to McKinsey, “Some asphalt companies have been able to increase the fraction of recycled materials in their products to as much as 20 percent while still meeting customers’ performance requirements. Used asphalt is usually free—some municipalities will even pay for its removal.”
A lack of integrated technology can lead to redundant efforts, inefficient workflows, and data silos.
Stakeholder Confidence with Operational Efficiency
Operational efficiency builds trust with stakeholders, such as governments, investors, and local communities. This can, in turn, garner more funding and support for the environmental services project, which is crucial for long-term success.
Ineffective communication between teams or departments can cause delays and errors.
