Reduction of production costs

Research nd Development. Eor commodity chemicals, emphasis is on the improvement of plant operation and reduction of production costs. Eor specialty chemicals, emphasis is on assembling a staff capable of quickly identifying and solving a customer problem under the existing plant conditions and operating procedures of the customer. 

Reduction of production costs amounts and required purity of organic materials are low and large scale production is considered to be relatively easy compared with most inorganic materials, involving low temperature processing at atmospheric pressure, cheap materials and flexibility. 

The focus for future developments has to be on reduction of production costs for silicon, more than 75 % of the MCS-production costs are due to raw material input. 

Four kinds of PHA, P(3HB), P(3HB-co-3HV), P(3HB-co-4HB), and P(3HB-co-3HHx), are produced on a large scale from 1000 to 50 000 tons per year for commercial exploitation. The annual production of 5000 tons is estimated to cost from US 3.5 to US 4.5 per kg. For reduction of production cost, high cell density cultivation, super-high rate of... 

Reduction of production costs through process control and automation. The purposes of automating a compounding plant are to minimise the off-spec product and to reduce scrap. It is to ensure high productivity by minimising excessive start-up times, malfunctions and so on, and to reduce the overall production cost of the product. 

The strength of the supply chain operations (like reduction of production costs, increase in productivity of resources) were also a perceived advantage, since he became able to plan the resources and production more efficiently. However, he considered that he could have further co-operation through the chain to assist in further improvements and cost reductions. 

The main areas of development for the Council and the industry are to increase the environmentally sustainable production of ware and seed potatoes and to increase potato quality to meet end-user requirements. Projects currently funded by them include the improvement of input precision and the reduction of production costs, the improvement of understanding of the factors affecting eating quality and the Fight Against Blight (FAB) campaign. 

Steady-state simulations of the high-pressure tubular reactor for the production of LD P E with distributed parameters are used for reactor design of a new plant as well as for optimization of the operating parameters in an existing plant - for product development and reduction of production costs. 

The LCD business to develop a flat-panel TV had been dominated by Japan for nearly a quarter of a century, but other countries caught up because of the generalization of the materials, the equipments, and the technologies. And the development target has changed from hardware performance to human interface with interlocking software with hardware. Furthermore, the reduction of production cost, as well as strengthening the local support in overseas production bases, is necessary.
