→ od:genericSuggestion → "During manufacturing, eliminate one or more machineries/manufacturing processes by merging them with others in order to perform multiple operations on the resulting work center, saving the overall energy."@en
→ od:specificSuggestion → "Merge the operations themselves by optimizing the sequence of operations to be performed according to the logic of the work center: e.g. the combination of cutting and punching for laser-punching machines."@en, "Reduce the movements of the semifinished among the two machineries by ideally bringing them to zero if the two operations can be carried out by fixing the piece in the same position."@en, "Share the hardware, i.e. tools, consumables, sensors and their management/handling systems (e.g. lubricant pump), for both the operations."@en
