This book was released on 2024-05-04 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written as a guide to industrial professionals, young engineers, entrepreneurs, and industrialists, and other stakeholders who need a huge energy in process industries in different forms through industrial/process equipment for several human needs. But the performance and efficiency of the equipment are not really taken care of during the operations and processes, which may be due to the dearth of proper knowledge or ignorance. Because of that, a large quantity of energy remains unutilized or wastage causing excess energy costs and subsequently generation of a huge quantity of carbon footprint indirectly which could be saved by proper performance and efficient management, and hence our Nature earth could be sustainable. In this book, the authors highlighted the performance and loss of efficiency of such industrial equipment during running. This attempt has been made to disseminate their sound, in-depth knowledge, and long experience achieved from several industries while working in different fields. The book explains the actual energy needed for performance, the reason for energy loss, and the scope of energy savings which can be possible by proper energy management. This book will also be apprehensible for all students of diploma, undergraduate & post graduate in the stream of electrical, mechanical, chemical, power, and all other engineering courses as a textbook as well as a reference book.

This book was released on 2012-12-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy efficiency represents a cost-effective and immediate strategy of a sustainable development. Due to substantial environmental and economic implications, a strong emphasis is put on the electrical energy requirements of machine tools for metalworking processes. The improvement of energy efficiency is however confronted with diverse barriers, which sustain an energy efficiency gap of unexploited potential. The deficiencies lie in the lack of information about the actual energy requirements of machine tools, a minimum energy reference to quantify improvement potential and the possible actions to improve the energy demand. Therefore, a comprehensive concept for energy performance management of machine tools is developed which guides the transition towards energy efficient machine tools. It is structured in four innovative concept modules, which are embedded into step-by-step workflow models. The capability of the performance management concept is demonstrated in an automotive manufacturing environment. The target audience primarily comprises researchers and practitioners challenged to enhance energy efficiency in manufacturing. The book may also be beneficial for graduate students who want to specialize in this field.

Download or read book Lean Maintenance written by Javier Girón Blanco and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about applying Lean manufacturing principles to industrial maintenance in order to improve the efficiency and be able to do more with the same (or less) resources. By industrial maintenance we mean the maintenance that takes place in factories and industrial facilities. The book is the result of multiple improvement projects carried out by the authors in various industrial settings and sectors in the past 10 years.The approach works and can be applied in any industry. It yields results without investment. The book is a step-by-step guide that takes the reader through the maintenance process, from equipment failure to finished repair. In each step of the process, the typical inefficiencies are explained and tools are given to improve the process. The book is meant to be used as a guide in an improvement journey. The improvement approach presented in the book is very close to the shop floor and instructs the reader to engage with all team members in the maintenance department in every step of the process, in order to make the improvements sustainable. If one looks at the main market indexes, between one third and one half of companies on those indexes belong to the industrial sector: automotive, power generation, basic materials, chemicals, consumer goods, et cetera. Those companies spend on average 2 – 5% of plant replacement value per year on maintenance. About one third of this cost is maintenance labor. The maintenance work that gets done every day in factories around the world is typically inefficient, from a Lean perspective: time is wasted, different tasks are not properly coordinated, job durations are overestimated and job plans, when they exist, are thus "inflated" to cover up the inefficiency. All this happens because maintenance tends to be the "forgotten" area of efficiency in industrial companies, as much of the improvements are carried out on the (literally) productive areas of the factories. When companies set out to "improve" maintenance, they typically do it through budget cuts that can risk the reliability of the equipment. The authors believe there is a better way to do more with the same resources through a careful review of the current way of working and the introduction of Lean. With this book , the authors try to bring to maintenance managers and practitioners the tools they need to quickly improve efficiency (in a matter of weeks) without any investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to concerns about global warming, carbon dioxide emissions, and the political instability that threatens the US supply, this book enables management, system analysts, and performance engineers to develop and apply an operating strategy for the on-line optimization and control of energy systems in industrial plants. It provides proven techniques for analysis that can guide equipment selection and flowsheet adjustments to reduce plant energy consumption without affecting the productive capacity of the plant. Originating in the 1970s and 1980s when high energy costs and the OPEC crises fostered energy conservation, these techniques have been applied successfully in many industries in the United States, as well as in several industrialized countries in the Middle and Far East.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Measuring and improving the performance has always been the center of attention of organizations. Organizations usually rely on different ratios to measure key performance. However, measuring performance by merely relying on ratios has its shortcomings. A more powerful tool in measuring relative performance is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). DEA is a mathematical programming technique for determining relative efficiencies of peer decision making units (DMU) and the technical efficiency of individual DMUs. It is a data-oriented approach for evaluating the performance of DMUs. DEA has been successfully used in both public sector and private sector. One of the industries that have been greatly overlooked is the heavy equipment industry and its retailing organizations. The main objective of the thesis is to develop models using DEA for measuring performance of heavy equipment retailing organizations. In this research performance measurement of heavy equipment retailing organization is evaluated by treating each branch (DMU) as whole unit and by analyzing the internal structure of each DMU. The organization under study is a Canadian heavy equipment retailing organization(HERO). The four DEA models used in the study measures efficiency from different perspectives. Such a measurement provides a comprehensive framework for measuring the performance of HERO. The study helps in benchmarking and locating best practices that are not visible through other commonly used management methodologies in the heavy equipment industry. The key findings of this research are: a) identification of branches that are efficient and inefficient b) Ranking of the branches based on super-efficiency scores that enable in benchmarking. d) The effect of environmental variables on the efficiency scores. f) Found that the efficiency of individual departments of the branch is less than the efficiency of the whole branch g) there is fluctuation in efficiency scores over a four-year period. The contributions are a) facilitates in benchmarking b) enables inefficient branches to improve its efficiency levels c) identification of variables that affects efficiency scores. d) PEDMAS as a new tool to measure the performance of heavy equipment branches. e) Identification of factors that will assist in improving efficiency. Keywords: Data Envelopment Analysis, HERO, Performance.
