Transforming Business from "People-Dependent" to "System-Dependent" – My Session with KhmerSME Match

I was honored to recently join KhmerSME Match to share insights on a topic that is often misunderstood by many small and medium enterprises in Cambodia: ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems (QMS).

Many SMEs view ISO 9001 as just "paperwork" or a "badge on the wall" for large corporations. However, my message to the participants was clear: A QMS is not a separate set of documents; it is the very way you do business to ensure consistency and growth.

During the session, we dove deep into the practical challenges Cambodian SMEs face, including:
1. The "Boss" Dependency: Moving away from centralized decision-making where everything stops when the owner is away.
2. Tribal Knowledge: Shifting expertise from "in the head" to "in the documents" (SOPs) to protect the business from high staff turnover.
3. Firefighting vs. Prevention: Moving from a "fix it when it breaks" mindset to a proactive system that identifies root causes to prevent recurring losses.
4. For SMEs in Cambodia, ISO 9001 is a "passport" to new markets. Whether you are in construction looking to win major bids, or in manufacturing aiming to join international supply chains like Toyota or Ford, a robust QMS is your foundation for trust and excellence.

My key takeaway for the attendees: "Don’t build a business that is people-dependent; build a business that is system-dependent." If you do the work to improve your quality and consistency today, the certification will eventually find you.

Thank you to the Young Entrepreneurs Association of Cambodia (YEAC) and KhmerSME for the opportunity to contribute to the growth of our local business ecosystem.

Let’s stop the profit leakage and start building for long-term excellence.

Green Move Consulting just finished an impactful exercise on level III boiler audits for our clients. A Level III boiler audit is the most in-depth and rigorous type of inspection for boilers. It involves a thorough examination of the boiler's components, operation, and maintenance practices for improving energy efficiency. By providing detailed insights into the boiler's operation and identifying areas for improvement, audits can help organizations reduce energy consumption, lower costs, and minimize their environmental impact. Sometimes, you can see the improvement with make eyes. You need tools to support the assessment. For example, we can see the temperature of the chimney is very high (>300 oC), which indicates the poor heat transfer inside the boiler between the flue gas and the water due to scaling or too fast airflow.

Green Move Consulting is collaborating with Engineering Resources International (ERI) Ltd to offer service in Science Based Target for clients in Cambodia and in the region (Thailand, Lao, Vietnam, etc.). What is science-based target?
A science-based target (SBT) is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goal for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These targets are grounded in the latest climate science and aim to limit global warming to a specific level, typically 1.5°C or 2°C above pre-industrial levels.

Here's a breakdown of SBTs:
1. Purpose: SBTs help companies and organizations define ambitious yet achievable reductions in their emissions footprint. They contribute to combating climate change by aligning business practices with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
2. Development: The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a key player. This collaborative effort, backed by organizations like CDP, UN Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI), and WWF, provides frameworks and validates targets submitted by companies.
3. Focus: SBTs typically target reductions in a company's greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain. This includes:
3.1. Scope 1: Direct emissions from company-owned or controlled sources (e.g., factory smokestacks)
3.2. Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat or steam
3.3. Scope 3: Indirect emissions from the broader value chain (e.g., business travel, purchased materials) - For companies where Scope 3 emissions are significant, these may also be included in the SBT.

Benefits of Science-Based Targets:

1. Clear Roadmap: SBTs provide a clear roadmap for companies to reduce their environmental impact, helping them transition to a low-carbon future.
2. Competitive Advantage: Companies with SBTs can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, potentially attracting investors and customers who prioritize environmental responsibility.
3. Risk Management: By proactively addressing climate change, companies can reduce their exposure to future regulations and costs associated with carbon emissions.

This is a load profile of a solar rooftop. The graph shows that the solar system produces the most power around noon when the sun is highest in the sky. Power output is lowest in the morning and evening when the sun is lower in the sky. The average power output for the 24-hour period was 45.03 kW, with a minimum of 0 kW and a maximum of 189.81 kW.

The fact that solar power is intermittent, meaning it only produces power when the sun is shining and when grid power is available, can have a number of implications for the grid.

1. Reduced demand for grid power: During the day, when solar power is being produced, there is less demand for power from the grid. This can help to reduce the strain on power plants and reduce the need for fossil fuel-based generation. This is good.
2. Increased strain on the grid during peak hours: In the evening, when solar power production drops off, there is a sudden increase in demand for grid power. This can strain the grid and lead to brownouts or blackouts if there is not enough capacity to meet demand. Meaning, there must be good reserve capacity to meet the demand, especially during cloudy due to student drop of power supply from solar.
3. Voltage fluctuations: The output of solar power can fluctuate depending on the amount of sunlight available. This can cause voltage fluctuations on the grid, which can damage electronic equipment. Even if there is zero export, we observe a great voltage rise.

Potential solutions to these challenges include:

1. Energy storage: Solar energy can be stored in batteries and then released back onto the grid during peak hours. This can help to smooth out the supply of solar power and reduce the strain on the grid.
2. Improved grid infrastructure: The grid can be upgraded to better handle the intermittent nature of solar power. This may include installing new transmission lines and transformers.
