Story Boarding
Happy:Happy:Mr. Shah is working in R&D department of chemical industry. Company wants more production to
survive in the market and gain good profit. Therefore, he studied about simulation of process and
started simulating the process to optimize the process. After some trial and error methods, he found
out that by modifying some equipment and parameters they could get some better result so he
suggested that idea to plant designer for the betterment of the company.
Happy:
Ramesh was a tech person. Who loves to play with various types of software and was good in that
area. After completing his graduation in chemical engineering, he was placed in a good company.
Because of his good understanding in simulation software stuff, he managed to take his company at
another level of success.
Sad:
Nitesh is an engineer in a well-known reputation industry was given a task for optimizing the process
conditions he used simulation software to solve this. But he was unable to bring the changes as
simulation software is used for designing purpose or to make mathematical computations easy. Due
to which he was unable to fix the issue of optimization.
Sad:
Rajesh is a well-known process engineer in a well-known chemical industry in Haldia.He got a task to
minimize the utility cost and process conditions to avoid energy loss and to reduce the overall cost
of process. However, he could not find out the solution to save the utility cost or operating cost. As
he is an old engineer, he does not have the proper knowledge of new simulating software from
which he could solve the majority of the problems. Therefore, he got fired and company have to hire
new process engineer who have the knowledge of these simulation software.
