Here are ways to boost product line efficiency

The techniques described in this article show how, by using computer models, energy savings can be obtained when pipelines have to operate at reduced throughputs. It is important to realize that such systems can be modified to have a greater flexibility with regard to operating at design capacities. Instead of operating status quo, though at lower rates, savings can be realized by altering the operations. This in turn provides a greater awareness of how such flexibility can be used to effect future changes with minimal costs to achieve the optimal cost-efficient operation.
