We frequently hear about how different continuous manufacturers are from batch/discrete manufacturing plants. Having experience with both, we fully agree. We shouldn't let these differences deter us from pursuing operational excellence in any type of manufacturing plant. The goal of operational excellence remains the same - what is ideal performance, and how far away from ideal is my plant?
Studies have shown that the people that operate continuous plants report their performance as much closer to ideal than operators of batch plants do. We are not sure if this is truly the case, but it may be the result of operators of batch plants feeling they can always make up for lost production with the next batch - not fully appreciating that time lost is lost forever. In a continuous manufacturing plant mistakes are always highly visible - there is no place to hide when production is down.
Synchronous experts are experienced in both batch/discrete and continuous manufacturing plants. We can help you define your ideal performance and develop a plan to get as close as economically possible.
