It’s interesting to me that a lot of compressed air systems are allowed to grow organically.
Pumping systems are precisely engineered. Requirements are specified exactly. The system is evaluated on paper, future-proofed. Those designs are evaluated and double checked… Compressed air systems are not specified per se.
Compressed air system components are specified.
A lot of compressed air systems aren’t anywhere near as well engineered. Frankly far too many systems are a built out of a mish-mash of components, often with customization and often there are oversights in integration.
Eli Goldratt wrote a lot of books about using Theory of Constraints in business settings. Initially he was famous for optimizing the production of manufacturing systems. The big mistake he saw in a business was ‘optimizing each step of the process.’ He called it striving for ‘local optima.’
