Resolving The Yield And Cost Problem By Dissolving The Problem

Print Share

Goal

Improve productive output of a paint products' manufacturer

Problem

Cleaning solvents are disrupting production, because they must be used and removed before each new batch of product is produced

Sebir

Productive output shoots up through re-formulating the product ingredients so that they not only make the product but also chemically absorb the residual cleaning solvents that then become an ingredient in the next batch. For instance, a paint manufacturer reformulates the paint ingredients so that the cleaning solvents are chemically absorbed in the next batch of paint Cleaning solvents now actually boost production and lower costs because, in blending with the product ingredients, they no longer have to be removed when each new batch of product is produced

Breeding Hint 1

Think about how you might assimilate or eliminate any problematic components or ingredients in your production process, with the aim of ensuring that it flows more smoothly

Breeding Hint 2

Think how you might fully exploit the laws of chemistry, or perhaps physics, to optimize the composition of your products or services, and to increase the efficiency of your production process
