      abstract = {This research paper was completed as a requirement for the  Master of Science Degree in Industrial Management at the  University of Southern Indiana. It explains how competition  in the electrical power industry forced electric utilities  to enact aggressive cost controls to lower their operating  costs. One method of lowering costs at the Rockport Power  Plant involved forming a committee to investigate and  complete projects aimed at improving the overall plant  efficiency.
This paper details the evaluation and final  proposal for such a project on the electrostatic  precipitator girder blower system. The committee believed  major improvements could be made to this system to reduce  maintenance costs and to improve the operating efficiency.  The girder blower system produced too much air flow,  entrained damaging moisture, and provided damaging cold air  during winter operation.
These three major problems were  identified, the effects associated with the problems  explained, and possible solutions were developed to solve  each problem. Eventually, a final modification was  recommended by combining the individual solutions to best  solve all three problems.},
