TUTORIAL 2

1. You are a process engineer at an oil and fat products refinery. The refinery has been
facing challenges with high storage costs and issues with the freshness of its products. As
part of the management team, Identify TWO (2) strategies to address these problems.
= 1) Optimize Inventory Management

Demand Forecasting: Implement advanced forecasting techniques to accurately predict product


demand. This will help optimize inventory levels, reducing the need for excessive storage.

2) Improve Product Handling and Storage

FIFO (First In, First Out) System: Strictly adhere to a FIFO system to minimize product aging and
reduce the risk of expired goods.

2. As an environmental consultant for a company in the oil and fat industry, you have
been tasked with designing a sustainable packaging options that balances product
freshness, cost- effectiveness, and environmental impact. Provide TWO (2) consultations
that you may offer.
=1) Biodegradable and Compostable Packaging

Explore biodegradable and compostable materials such as plant-based polymers, cellulose, and
starch-based plastics. These materials can decompose naturally in specific environments, reducing
the environmental impact.

2) Recyclable and Reusable Packaging

Suggest packaging designs that facilitate recycling and minimize contamination. For example, use
clear labels and avoid excessive packaging elements.

3. You are a logistics manager at a leading company in the oil and fat industry. The
company is looking to reduce its transportation costs and environmental impact. As part
of this initiative, you have been tasked with revamping the company's vehicle fleet that
transports oils and fats across various regions. Suggest TWO (2) strategies for this.
=1) Optimize Vehicle Routing and Scheduling

Implement advanced routing software to optimize delivery routes, minimizing the distance traveled
and fuel consumption. This software can consider factors such as traffic patterns, road conditions,
and delivery time windows.

2) Invest in Fuel-Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Vehicles

Consider transitioning to hybrid or electric vehicles, especially for shorter routes or urban deliveries.
These vehicles have lower emissions and can significantly reduce fuel costs.
4. You are the sustainability coordinator for a company that processes and transports oils
and fats, where maintaining the optimal temperature of products during storage and
transport is critical to prevent spoillage. Describe in detail, TWO (2) integrated plan to
enhance the energy efficiency of your company's temperature control systems for both
storage tanks and transport containers.
=1) Optimize Storage Tank Insulation and Temperature Control

Implement advanced temperature control systems with precise sensors and automated control
algorithms. These systems can optimize temperature regulation based on product characteristics
and ambient conditions, minimizing energy consumption.

2) Enhance Transport Container Insulation and Temperature Control

Implement a pre-cooling system to cool containers to the desired temperature before loading.
Minimize loading and unloading times to maintain product temperature.
