APC Metrics

The loop intervention metric is intuitive, transparent, responsive, and embodies a wealth of APC measurement and management information – which are all characteristics of a good key performance indicator (KPI).  Contact APC Performance about conducting an initial loop intervention analysis and setting up a long-term automated loop intervention metric – for continuous measurement, management, and improvement of your APC program.

The benefits of closed-loop multivariable control are fundamentally the same as for closed single-loop control: more timliness and consistency, fewer alarms and constraint violations, and greater process optimization.  With the low costs of APC 2.0, many applications can be justified based solely on the intrinsic value of closing the loops and improving the metrics - just like management of single-loop control in the past.  At the same time, many APC 2.0 applications continue to capture the large-scale ROIs traditionally associated with multivariable control.  Link to article...
