Cost saving memo 1
- 1. Cost Saving in the Museum and its Ancillaries Memo To all managers Marc Haynes MD Intro The first part of any cost cutting exercise should be cutting out all waste, wasteful practices, wasteful buying and wasteful disposal. Examine where you can cut waste most effectively, the obvious places first, heating, lighting, stationary, cleaning, recycling are all good places to start. Get your staff on side but dont panic them, remember there is an ecological side to this too. Sometimes even your lowliest workers come up with some cracking savings that others miss. Museum Waste Saving 1) Electricity For instance to save power in the museum, as from Monday morning we will open the museum at around 9.00 as usual but will not turn on the lights until we open to the public at 10.00. We will turn off the museum lights as soon as the last customer has left. This means a saving of 14.3% in the winter and 12.5% in the summer (pro rata). A mean saving of 13.4%. Lighting budget for 2013/4 is 贈30,000.00 13.4% of 30,000 = 贈4,020 a substantial saving!!! 2) This saving can be achieved in store rooms, library, kitchens etc indeed whenever a room is unoccupied for more than 10 minutes. 3) More lighting savings can be made by specifying LED or High Frequency Fluorescent lamps where practical.
- 2. 4) Heating In the museum we can ensure that all boilers are working correctly and to the correct settings. If this is deemed to be incorrect then the action taken must always be by a qualified technician. All museum boilers are now state of the art and at the peak of possible efficiency.
