The increased competitiveness, internationalization and sophistication of markets, the globalization of manufacturing and the increased concern about social and ecological issues make productivity improvement more important. Productivity improvement through better utilization of the energy, materials, water, solvents, etc. is now seen as an effective tool in preventing pollution at source.
