Unfortunately,most facility managers of small manufacturing firms have little time to sort through largemanuals educating themselves in energy efficiency.This led us to the conclusion that we needed to develop a software package to assist thesemanufacturers. While a software program or publication can not provide the technicalexperience of a University Industrial Assessment Center team, it is our belief that a program canhelp manufacturers to implement some of the more common recommendations associated withthe IAC program. In the most recent Annual Report of the IAC program, it was reported that theaverage IAC report recommends approximately $40,000 in annual savings for each client served[3].

Teaching the concepts of kinematics and kinetics can bechallenging, however, as the static nature of traditional teaching methods are not particularlywell suited to developing an understanding of the physical dynamics of a mechanism.
