摘要

Garment manufacturing companies in Albania are encountering major challenges in both survival and growth. In addition to addressing environmental concerns, adopting an energy sustainability strategy can help reduce the economic strain of production. Benchmarking serves as a valuable tool for guiding energy efficiency improvements. It involves comparing a company’s processes, products, or services with those of industry leaders or competitors to identify best practices and enhance performance. This approach allows garment companies to assess their strengths and weaknesses, streamline operations, and boost overall efficiency. A case study was conducted, analyzing data from Albanian garment production companies, regarding their electricity usage and production volumes. The research focuses on leading garment production companies. The Benchmarking is done in this process; preparing the data, Calculating Key performance indicators, Comparative Analysis, Visualizing the Results, Interpretation and Recommendations. Results are presented in graphs. The findings reveal a strong connection between electricity consumption and production volumes.
