Three Critical In-plant Trends for 2010
To stay in business, in-plants need to measure their financial performance, improve their productivity and respond to customers’ changing needs.
On projects that focus on going green, we have observed these five steps:
1) Reduce spoilage/waste and increase recycling.
2) Conserve energy and use renewable resources.
3) Test, master and offer alternative manufacturing materials.
4) Audit chemical usage, work with regulatory bodies and test alternatives.
