The second group of mechanisms that would lead to ASD behaviors would occur as an appropriate response by the homeostatic energy monitoring circuitry when the computational processes cannot form knowledge manifolds or find paths of least cognitive action efficiently. The circuit breaker systems are intact and respond appropriately to computationally defective circuits that consume excess energy. Here one of two broad mechanisms will fail. 

The first step is to benchmark the process units and identify performance gaps. This step helps focus the analysis on the best opportunities. It can also lead to operational improvements that can be implemented immediately. Energy monitoring application software is used to monitor the facility, identify performance gaps, and provide inputs to the detailed study and analysis step. Key indicator system and targets should form the basis for monitoring and control, which provides the means for continuous improvement.
