Process Survey and Enhancement
Evergreen Engineering® believes that project spending should be evaluated on the basis of cost reduction. The level of spending may be secondary to the enhancement in the plant’s operating margin.
You may not be able to control what the market does, but you can control your costs. Lowering your costs will improve your margins during market down cycles.
Evergreen’s professional staff includes former plant managers, technical directors, maintenance managers, and engineering professionals who are uniquely qualified to assist with the full scope of process survey and enhancement. We are ready to help you evaluate the margin impact of budget-minded process upgrades, which may include:
- Improved raw materials management, storage and processing
- Improved environmental control
- Safety system upgrades
- Improved utilization through improved system control
- Reduced system energy waste/demand and emissions
- Reduced product defect
- Improved line performance optimization and balancing
- Reduced process machinery wear problems
A mill level survey can identify bottlenecks, areas requiring improvement, and process and safety issues. Budget constraints and accurate project cost forecasting assists in delineating feasibility. Our process and project expertise along with proprietary ROI analysis marries these two fundamental inputs to determine your optimal mix of projects to ensure the greatest value for your project dollar.
A process survey report from Evergreen Engineering® assists in project business case support, and allows data-based decision making to lead your facility to verifiable savings, cost reduction and improved safety measurement.
