Is Process Optimization a Costly Lie?

In 2023, companies that applied a disciplined process optimization framework reported an average 12% reduction in operating costs. So the claim that process optimization is a costly lie does not hold; when executed with proper DOE and scale-up validation it actually saves money. The challenge is moving from tidy lab
