Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Process Efficiency Toolbox™ different from idea management software?2022-07-18T16:28:52-05:00

Idea management software comes with no ideas.  Typically, ideas are added by crowdsourcing and the ideas are selected by a search or a scoring system.  Scoring can often be quite misleading. If everybody scores the idea, then the score tends to become diluted. If an idea is scored by a small group, then the score can easily be biased.

The Process Efficiency Toolbox comes already populated with process improvement ideas, questions and rule logic.  An idea is only presented when the artificial intelligence believes it is applicable.   For example, assume a corporation has 20 plants and has added a great reverse osmosis idea. Only the users who answer questions in a specific way will see the new idea. If 12 plants don’t have a reverse osmosis system, then they will never see the idea because it doesn’t apply to them. If 4 more plants are utilizing a sodium bisulfate pre-treatment, they will never see the idea because it doesn’t apply. If 2 more plants are using well water as the feedwater, they will never see the idea because it doesn’t apply. Only 2 plants will ever see the idea because it only applies to their plants.

Why do I need any more ideas when I already have enough ideas?2020-02-13T09:06:04-05:00

Our ideas are generated by a logic rule based approach.  This approach is thorough to prevent any missed opportunities.  Our ideas are non-biased, whereas many existing ideas are based on what is already familiar.   It is often true that “you can’t see the forest through the trees” meaning focusing on small ideas and missing the big opportunities.

How can individual systems model my production process?2022-03-31T12:22:08-05:00

Manufacturing processes are composed of unique combinations of individual interacting systems.  Our systems are the building blocks for a unique process.  The interactions between systems are addressed in the questions asked.  Questions can function to weave systems together.  This allows each system relationship to be handled uniquely.  If another system is present, then more detailed questions will be asked based on answers provided.  This will very quickly lead to very specific system relationship questions being asked.

I don’t understand how a generic system name can relate to my specific system?2022-03-31T12:21:02-05:00

The first few questions asked will typically drill down to your very specific system.  For example, we have a “pump” system rather than the following systems:

  • pumps, centrifugal
  • pumps, gear
  • pumps, magnetic drive
  • pumps, air diaphragm
  • pumps, peristaltic
  • pumps, electric
  • pumps, water

The first few questions asked in the pump system will narrow down your specific pump to the degree required to provide process improvement ideas.  The questions also allow for helping a user even if pieces of information are unknown.

Another reason for not specifically naming all subsystems is that this would have created many hundreds more systems.  This would have made the tool harder to use.

No matter who you are, we can help.

Improving process efficiency, reducing waste and material cost impacts many different functional areas.  Process Efficiency Toolbox™ can help you reach your goals.
