Developing green operations to minimize energy consumption by pdca cycle of ISO 50001. A case study with delphi method approach

The purpose of this research is to explore the green operations activities, especially in energy consumption, and to develop a PDCA cycle framework that can be used to minimize energy consumption, by using Delphi Method approach. Research design and methodology: The PDCA cycle ISO 50001 framework is developed through (1) Identifying risks using Delphi method and mean score ranking from the activities found in existing empirical case study in beauty clinic. (2) Analyse the most crucial risks founded in the field. (3) Developing the the PDCA cycle to minimize the energy consumption. Finding: The research found eleven (12) risks, and find the crucial risk. PDCA cycle ISO 50001 developed, and found that the most crucial risk is in the act of PDCA cycle, which indicate that there was no follow through in order to solve the problem of energy usage in the business process. Practical implication: This research provide a simple practical guideline PDCA cycle ISO 50001 template as a critical thinking to make a continuous improvement process.
