3. Cycle times from case A and B were respectively 51% and 90% less than conventional drying for Plant D. WIP from case A and B were 43% and 92% less than conventional drying for Plant D. 4. For the production lines studied, vacuum drying technology could meet customer demand while reducing WIP and cycle times. The reduction of WIP for a year represented a cost saving of 73% and 76% for Plant C and D, respectively. 5. Vacuum drying would result in Plant C and D saving $5,285,280/MBF and $6,513,621/MBF in inventory respectively. 6. The cost savings from a reduction in WIP makes vacuum with no air drying scenario more feasible than conventional drying for the production lines studied. The reduction in capital and inventory costs, faster drying rates, and similar quality to conventional drying makes vacuum drying like a potential technology available for improvement of the competitiveness for flooring manufacturers. 126PDF Image | Impact of Vacuum-Drying on Efficiency of Hardwood Products
