Continuous improvement is vital to the performance of any manufacturing facility but may be even more critical for process plants. Why? Because the capital-intensive nature of these facilities means that their profitability is driven primarily by machine performance, including:
- Reliability
- Durability
- Utilization
- Energy Consumption
Unfortunately, new research indicates that many process plants aren’t pursuing the best improvement methodologies — or any improvement initiative at all that can impact machine performance and overall plant performance.
