Decision problem of instrumentation in a company involved in ISO 50001

In the context of performance management and the involvement of companies in sustainable development, energy management is a new challenge. Managing energy is a complex problem as it can potentially impact the whole company and if mishandled could be harmful for its added value. In order to assist companies in this challenge, the ISO 50001 proposes a standard for the creation of Energy Management Systems (EnMS). Such systems bring the recurring problem of decision about the choice of the actions necessary into their deployments. Notably, they rely heavily on the data related to the consumptions of energy and its usage in a given company. Hence the problem of decision, at an audit stage, can concern the choice of a sound instrumentation. This paper deals with the interest of the company adixen Vacuum Products in a standard for decision aiding in this situation. The idea is to build the model of preference of the Decision Maker and to establish a generic procedure about decision supported by a MCDA tool. Our proposition is to use the ACUTA method in order to elicit this model of preference.
