Industrial Process Optimization Guide

This document summarizes the key concepts of industrial process optimization. Optimization aims to improve processes by using all resources efficiently to generate value and reduce costs. This is achieved by maximizing profits and minimizing costs. Optimization requires knowledge in manufacturing, maintenance, process planning, and industrial safety. Some areas susceptible to improvement include operations that are time-consuming, repetitive, or manual, requiring long...

OPTIMIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

ENG. RAMÓN MONCAYO, MSc


Process Optimization

Optimizing an industrial process means improving it.


using all available resources from the
in the most efficient way possible.
The goal is to achieve that the activities
operational generate value to the product.
Technology has improved work methods,
achieving a reduction in operational costs.
Process optimization

Optimization is aimed at 2 goals


fundamentals:

1.- Maximize profits Produce more and better


2.- Minimize costs at a lower cost
PROCESSOPTIMIZATION
From the point of view of the industrial engineer
optimizing an industrial process requires having
a diversity of knowledge in different
key areas, these include:
Basic knowledge of Manufacturing and Maintenance
.

Industrial Plants

Planning and Process Control


Control of
inventory
and warehouses Industrial safety
Some operations
susceptible to improvement in a
industrial process
Time-consuming operations
Repetitive Jobs: Manual

Tasks that require long journeys


Utilization of cubic space

Bottleneck Operations
Management and Transportation of Materials

Operational Procedures
PRODUCTIVITY: Priority objective resulting from the
Process Optimization

There are basically two ways to increase the


productividad:
1.- Achieving the same output with fewer resources.
2.-Increasing production with the same resources

Meta: Improve work methods


Reduce/eliminate waste

Productivity ≠ Production
PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER Importance

Need of every Organization

Competitiveness and Productivity.


Market presence Continuous Improvement.

COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT
FINAL REFLECTIONS

1.- An efficient way to make a company competitive is


Optimizing your processes.
2.- The Human Factor is key in every organization.
3.- Interrelation of all Processes.
4.- One should always aim for the achievement of an increase in
Productivity.
5.- The information collected from the processes: Production, Times,
Costs, inventories, among others, is essential for analysis and
detect operational deficiencies.
There is a driving force more powerful than steam, the
electricity and atomic energy: The will
