Benchmarking in the Process Industries - IChemE

The first step to improving performance and competitiveness of a plant is to benchmark against the best in the world. Aimed at introducing the subject of benchmarking to the process industries and is based on practical experience of over 200 process plants. The book gives guidance on how to benchmark, where to find the benchmarks, how to quantify the gaps intended and suggests the impact of improving manufacturing in the process industries. It provides the framework, measures and industry world-class targets to allow organisations to maximise their potential.
