Process Plant operations improvement supply chain TQM  Cost Reduction

Applications: Rigorous, kinetic, expert systems model-based refinery, olefin, polyolefins, styrene, caprolactum, polyester, nylon fiber mills process reactors and downstream recovery units design and operations simulation improve daily plant operating decisions and predictive control for advanced process control (APC) applications

The results are feedstock optimal allocation, blending for full range feeds reactors yield improvements, process de-bottlenecking, energy conservation, waste minimization, preventive maintenance and safety management, downstream processing quality assurance, DCS/CIM systems design and integration, economic impact simulation. Applications of goal, mission, performance oriented OSA teams to technical, operating staff on the job training for full range feeds variations, operating loads and severity changes in plantwide supply chain cost reduction, products innovation, quality improvements.
Over 30 million global government, banking, finance industry, corporate executive,plant managers, technical, operating staff, investors benefited by these 32 Real Options Operations Simulations Analysis systems based Global Strategic Information Knowledge Management Systems tailored to your problems and need,  supporting technolog  and management innovation for Information technology, chemical and Biotech, process technology internet applications to improve corporate dilay procurement, inventory, production, marketing, sales integrated supply chain productivity, cost reduction in last 30 years  These systems have been recommended by Hydrocarbon Processing(US Houston)'s Advanced Control and information management strategy, process design, operations optimizations Handbook,1991, 1993,1995,1996, 1997, 1999. Over 1000 major cos from 65? US, European, Asian Pacific, South Ameri can countries including EXXON, Dupont, BP,? Shell,? BASF,?

Strategy: These systems have been developed from the past plant hourly operating history (including normal, crisis and emergency operations); management and plant operators' expertise. The latest statistical, thermodynamic and kinetic theories, artificial intelligence in fuzzy logic, neural network and chaos theory have been applied to develop expert system-based decision simulators covering the entire operating history features include:

* Global Procurement Strategy :Feedstock and fuel prices simulation forecasts, procurement , inventory scheduling, blending strategic analysis.

* Process Operation Quality, cost improvement strategy: Reactors yields improvement and debottlenecking, polymer processing quality improvement, for full range feeds, loads and severity changes.

* Process Productivity Improvementt Process troubleshooting, debottlenecking over design

* Process Energy Cost reduction Process energy conservation, cut fuel, steam unit consumption

* Environmental, Waste Minimization Process waste management, tracking, simulate pollution source and minimization         *Maximize products recovery while minimize off spec loss

*Process plant quality assurance and equipment preventive safety, maintenance management

*OSA simulators supported On the Job Training, workshops Process plant technical, operating and DCS internet e-commerce, e-business staff on the job training

Operations Management Implementation: OSA consultant Dr. Warren Huang will conduct the corporate/plant operations, cost reductions review and setup goal mission, performance oriented cross-functional OSA teams to achieve millions dollar cost reduction with improved quality, market shares without staff cut, hardware investment

Economics: Millions US dollars saved without staff cut

Commercial Applications: Over 30 refinery, olefin, polyolefin, ethylbenzene, styrene, caprolactum plants, nylon, polyester fibers mills applied , 120 TQM cost reduction workshops offered to corporate, plant managers, technical, operating, DCS staff.
