- Case Study At a Glance In 2019, was engaged by a “global food & beverage manufacturer” that generates more than $35 billion in annual revenue to help modernize one of its newest plants in Topeka, Kansas. Industry: Food & Beverage Location: Topeka, KS ROI: 700% Payback Period: 3 months CO₂ savings: 20k+ metric tons / year Coverage: 100% Challenge Like most food & beverage manufacturers, this customer utilizes steam in the production of several product lines. Ensuring the smooth operation of its steam system is an important aspect of its maintenance strategy due to the system’s potential impact on the plant’s overall operating costs; a poorly functioning steam system can significantly reduce uptime, energy efficiency, and the safety profile of a given plant. With steam trap failure representing one of the highest risks to a steam system, maintenance of these mechanical relief devices is of paramount importance. Although the customer followed the best practices for…arrow_forwardCase: Tesla’s Quality ChallengeOn March 31, 2016, Tesla Motors announced the release of its new Model 3 electric car. Over 276,000 people from around the world put down $1,000 reservations for the car within three days. First deliveries of the car are expected in late 2017. The innovative new car is a follow-up to the much more expensive Model S and Model X cars. Tesla delivered about 110,000 of these cars prior to the Model 3 announcement. Elon Musk, the brilliant CEO of the company, has said that he has confidence that the company can sell 500,000 cars a year by 2020. Given the interest was shown at the Model 3 announcement, some experts think this might be possible. The fledging Palo Alto, California, the automaker has struggled with ramping up manufacturing, particularly with the Model X sports utility vehicle introduced in page 3162015. The company reported that there were many sourcing changes made late in the process of planning production. Tesla tends to make items, such as the…arrow_forward
