Water and Energy Use in Sanitary-ware Manufacturing

Abstract

When starting a proper plan to manage resource consumptions, it has to be understood the global process from the correct perspective. The production line may appear quite different depending on the observer. When observed from consumption point of view, parameters and variables are not the same as from a financial or production perspective. In this regard, the picture of the factory has to be drawn with a proper plot of consumption points. Quantities, the way they are required, wastes or leftovers, mass and energy flows, etc. are magnitudes to be precisely taken into account. Thus, for the purpose of this book, factory has been focused as a sequence of water and energy points of consumers and either, existing or potential links between them.
