Tools for Integrating Energy, Materials Productivity, and Quality Efforts

摘要

Finding ways to reduce waste and improve production efficiency in industrial operations can be environmentally and financially rewarding. Texas businesses participating in TNRCC's voluntary programs have reported saving of over $81 million per year. Many options have proven successful at other industrial facilities as well, and many new innovative technologies and strategies are emerging for companies interested in "first mover advantage." In identifying and implementing process improvement projects, it pays to integrate materials productivity, energy conservation, quality, and productivity in order to achieve the maximum benefits.
