Chemical process optimization

[IngGasP]

Hello everybody!

Can everybody tell me what does mean process optimization . Does it mean, the best working parameters with low energy consumption or money saving? or is there something else.
And what are the stages taken to make a process optimization
Please give me some technical support to start with.

Thanks

lowest: energy, waste, downtime, errors, cost

balanced with the highest: quality, uptime, productivity, reliability, flexibility, profit, speed

With time, we could add dozens more terms to the lists above. It's a very broad term.

Perhaps someone else here can point you to a reference or discussion. I just thought I'd throw out a stab at a definition...

Good on ya,
