Overview

Please note this webinar is being hosted by the Malaysia CAPE Special Interest Group.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals is the one of the important agenda for most manufacturing industries nowadays. In many cases, industrial practitioners are lacking of necessary resources to achieve such goals.

In this talk, some established CAPE tools will be presented. After five decades of development, CAPE tools such as simulation, modelling and optimisation are now well established and are used in addressing various industrial resource conservation problems. In the past decade, some of these tools have also been extended to address problems associated with carbon footprint reduction, covering various process industries. Some case studies will be presented to showcase these CAPE tools.
