Learn how to implement demand driven metrics for vast improvement in measuring performance. "Demand Driven Performance" details why the outdated forms of measurement are inappropriate for current circumstances and reveals an elegant set of global and local metrics to fit today's demand driven world. The book shows how to minimize the organizational and supply chain conflicts that impede flow, and eventually, corporate success.Metrics are used to create a benchmark for measuring improvement and to identify and focus on those improvements that are most needed, and that have the highest ROI. However, the world has fundamentally changed in terms of delivering value and driving strong financial performance and growth. The continued use of outdated metrics is driving companies in the wrong direction giving them false signals, putting their personnel into conflict at all levels of the organization, and also wreaking havoc in the supply chain. This book offers solutions to remedy these issues.

Process flowsheeting concerns the use of computers to stimulate and design chemical plant of all types, such as petroleum refineries, petrochemical complexes or even food factories. In this 1979 introduction to the topic the authors examine the role of flowsheeting in process plant design and look at the various techniques on which computer-aided systems may be based. For each one of these approaches the advantages and disadvantages are clearly stated and the four most important methods are described in detail. In each case the motivation for its development is analysed and its use is illustrated by a number of practical examples. Particular attention is devoted to the underlying technology of process flowsheeting systems, and an introduction to the analysis of degrees of freedom in flowsheeting and a guide to further reading are also included. This book will still hold value for those interested in the historical development of process flowsheeting.
