What is the goal of "process optimization"?

The goal of "process optimization" is to enhance system performance for efficiency. This involves systematically analyzing and improving processes to achieve better results, which may include maximizing output, minimizing resource usage, and improving product quality. In the context of control systems, process optimization aims to fine-tune operations to create a more effective and efficient system, often leading to cost savings and improved operational effectiveness.

Increasing production speeds indiscriminately, reducing the number of employees, or eliminating all waste materials can be components of a strategy aimed at optimization but do not fully encompass the broader goal. Process optimization focuses on a balanced approach that considers various factors related to performance and efficiency, rather than pushing one aspect, like speed, without assessing its impact on other areas.
