EDM Toolbox Framework — 6-Phasen-Modell für Energiemanagement

STEP 2 · THE METHODOLOGY

Process Reliability Through the EDM Framework.

We transform unpredictable data capture into an industrially scalable process. Our framework guides you through six clear phases – from target definition to final reporting – secured by "Phase Gates" for maximum data integrity.

Phase 1

Goal Definition

2–4 weeks

Project goals, KPIs, and success criteria are defined together. What needs to be achieved — cost transparency, ISO 50001, ESG reporting? This phase lays the foundation for all subsequent steps.

Activities

  • Kick-off workshop with all stakeholders
  • Analysis of existing data and reporting obligations
  • KPI prioritization (cost, CO₂, ISO 50001, CSRD)
  • Scope definition: locations, media, time frame

Phase deliverables

  • Goal catalog with prioritized KPIs
  • Scope definition (locations, media, timeline)
  • Stakeholder matrix and responsibilities

Roles involved

  • •Management / Energy officer
  • •EDM Toolbox consultant
  • •Controlling / Sustainability

Tools & templates

  • •Goal catalog template
  • •Stakeholder matrix (RACI)

Practical tip

Invest time deliberately here – every day of clarity saved here will save weeks during rollout.

Typical risk

Without clear KPI priorities, you risk a "let's measure everything" project that never goes live.

Phase Gate

Goal catalog approved, scope and responsibilities confirmed

"Phase Gates" at every stage ensure 100% data integrity
