7Epsilon's Seven Steps to Foundry Cost and Energy Savings

March 25, 2015
The 7Epsilon principles go beyond Six Sigma thinking on knowledge management and continual process improvement to achieve savings in operating cost and energy consumption.

The 7Epsilon initiative, led by Swansea University, brought together a consortium of European foundry experts, process engineers, trade associations, universities and institutions to develop a philosophy that would go beyond Six Sigma thinking on knowledge management and continual process improvement. Since 2012, over 175 foundry process engineers in Europe, the U.S., and India have been introduced or trained in the technique. Read the results of their insights for a gray iron foundry that implemented an energy optimization program following the 7Epsilon principles.
