1. Implementation of new technology to upgrade any process of the paper
industry
When it comes to future of paper industry, there is a tight relationship among IT as well
as process control technology. With implementation of high yield paper pulping technology, the
paper energy is going to bring energy efficient into the manufacturing process of paper. The
paper industry can reduce the consumption of energy by 25% as compared to today’s technology
into the paper industry (Khalil et al., 2014). By the year 2021, the final goal of paper industry is
to manufacture of printing paper as well as paperboard with half of amount of energy used as
compared to the manufacturing research in the year 2011. This new technology improves the
sustainability of the paper (Kong, Hasanbeigi, & Price, 2016). The energy efficient technology
will save by increasing into percentage of the recycled fibers into the manufacturing process of
paper that reduces requirement of preparation of raw materials.
2. Solve of problems into existing manufacturing process
Throughout increase into the manufacturing process, there is a change as well as improve
into the process. Into the existing manufacturing process into the paper mills, there are lot of
wastages of the raw materials, usage of energy is high, increase into emissions of carbon oxide
and climatic impacts. It solves the wastage problems as there should be reduction into trim waste
by 0.5-4 percentages. It will reduce the 30% energy for the printing of paper along with 27% for
the paperboard (Akhundzadeh & Shirazi, 2017). It will also reduce the emissions of carbon oxide
and reduce climatic impacts from the production of paper. By softening of wood throughout

increase into temperature combined with smaller amounts of sulfite as well as increase into
refining of wood.
3. Compare old and new process using engineering Management tools and
mechanics
The old manufacturing process of paper is highly complex and it is integrated various
process areas such as preparation of wood, pulping, recovery from the chemical as well as
papermaking in order to convert wood to final products (Aydalot & Keeble, 2018). The options
for manufacturing process along with the type of wood processing are determined by final
products. The paper industry is energy intensive with average cost of energy is around 16% of
the cost of production, and in some of the cases it is 30 percentages. The amount of energy which
is used by the paper machines are based on the quality of pulp as well as paper grade. As
electricity is main energy used, then the technology has higher energy demand as well as
emissions of carbon dioxide (Kong, Hasanbeigi, & Price, 2016). Into the drying section, there is
largest usage of the energy into the papermaking stage. The integrated paper mills achieve high
energy efficiency by elimination of the pulp drying as well as better manufacturing processes.
The manufacturing engineering is branch of the professional concerned with understanding as
well as application of the engineering procedures into the manufacturing processes along with
the production of paper. The new manufacturing process is related to improve the efficiency into
the drying and recovers the wastage of heat.
