"For more than 100 years, Dresser-Rand has been among the largest global suppliers of rotating equipment solutions, with field-proven centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, steam turbines, expanders, gas turbine packages, and control systems."

"Dresser-Rand is positioned to deliver a complete package of solutions, from initial concept to equipment retirement for the worldwide oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, and process industries."

For decades, the importance of process improvement and innovation has been disregarded at Dresser-Rand facility in Olean, NY. As the customer, Dresser-Rand would like to see an improvement to the VECTRA assembly area within the Olean facility. Through engineering analysis, many aspects of the VECTRA assembly area can be enhanced while taking into account the safety of the workers and factory as a whole, as well as the overall organization and operation of the facility.
