Reducing Volatile Organic Chemicals
Energy Reduction Water Consumption - Process Flow to find waste; Actions to eliminate Pareto of where Electrical consumption is used; Change lighting which accounts for 22% of cost Analyze where and what causes Natural gas consumption variation and how better controls can be implemented
6 Problem Solving Define - find improvement opportunities that emphasize the greatest needs Measure - determine current process capability; Process Flow / Map Analyze - identify vital few process inputs that affect key process outputs – Pareto, C-E, DOE
6 Problem Solving Improve - Make changes to process settings, redesign processes, reduce number of defects, amount of waste Control - Implement process control plans, install real-time process monitoring tools, standardize processes, error proof processes
