Finally, the laboratory expends significant effort communicating results to both internal and external customers. Production, quaUty assurance, and purchasing all have various information needs ranging from the simple pass /fail decisions to statistical summaries of the data and suppHer product quahty. Customers expect to receive lot analyses in the form of a COA and often also want their own product-specific information on the document as well. This information can automatically be appHed to the COA if entered into the LIMS. Often, a quaUty-conscious customer wants information about the product in the form of process capabiUty or control charts. Using LIMS, these charts can be provided on demand.

Regarding purchases made by the supplier, there are three parties the ultimate customer, the supplier, and the supplier s supplier (the subcontractor). The standard has overlooked the fact that items are often inspected on receipt for conformance with the supplier s purchase order and not against requirements placed by the supplier s customer. Product may be nonconforming with the supplier s requirements but not the... 

The authors provide selection criteria, by which the suitability of a process for a distributed production can be assessed [139]. These are explicitly given for the categories of feedstock, processes, customer products, and waste products. This is completed by a list of suitable device types for distributed production such as plate heat exchangers, pressure and temperature swing units, electrostatic dispersers, and membrane units. The various operations often rely on the use of electricity and therefore are said to be particularly suited for operation at the mini scale. 

Chartered Metal Industries Toolroom in Singapore produces a wide range of standard and customized products to support manufacturers in the metal industries. Their production includes high-volume, batch-run precision parts, prototype components, subassemblies, tooling, fixtures, and gauges. 

Stainless steel sheet stock is used to form custom products such as tees, elbows, and reducers. The sheets are cut with a band saw or plasma torch into smaller pieces and custom formed into final product shapes using various forming and bending equipments. 

All products are tested in small-scale applications that perfectly imitate customers production, covering all the industries that are served. However, products are not just tested for performance, but also for environmental impact and the health impact on customers personnel. 

Ben Venue Laboratories founded in 1938, specializes in the manufacturing of sterile products. Its activities and capabilities can be contracted on a project basis. Since its foundation, a long history of experiences on customized production of a wide variety of sterile products. Product portfolio includes lyophilized dosages, liquid dosages, small molecule compounds, biologicals, cytotoxics, diagnostics, veterinary products, potent compounds. 

The terms able to promise or available to promise (ATP) indicate whether a given customer, product, volume, date, or time request can be met for a potential order. ATP requests might be filled from inventory, unallocated planned production, or spare capacity (assuming additional production). When the production scheduler is content with the current plan, made up of firm orders and forecast orders, the forecast orders are removed but the planned production is left intact. This produces inventory profiles in the model that represent ATP from inventory and from unallocated planned production (Baker, 1993 Smith, 1998). 

Objects tend to be dynamic the number of customers, products, and orders you have, and their interconnections, changes dynamically. In contrast, larger-grained components may be more static there will probably always be only one payment control and one finance component, and their configuration will be static. 

The product type can be commodity or specialty. Commodity products are considered with a defined standard quality, where price is the key buying criterion. The product life cycle for chemical commodities can be relatively long meaning that the products are in the market partly for decades. Examples for short life cycle commodities on the other hand are semiconductors that are also mainly sold over price, but are shortly out-dated due to technology advances. The number of products is medium and does not reach the complexity of specialty product portfolios, where often more than 1,000 products need to be handled by a company. The product customization is standardized with some variants with respect to product properties but not related to a specific customer. Product perishability is...

The industrial importance of the nucleation lies in its effects on the yield and product size distribution of alumina crystals. The yield is significant for plant economic reasons while off-target product size distribution adversely affects the downstream operations (e.g. washing and separation) as well as not meeting the customers product specifications. 

The molecule has been found to be an efficient electron carrier in electrochemical oxidation, converting secondary alcohols to ketones. Daicel of Tokyo has used NHPI in the development of custom production in proprietary air-oxidation technology , and it can also be used to oxidize cyclohexane to adipic acid and p-xylene to p-toluic acid in the presence of Mn + or Co + salts. The new process produces no nitrogen oxides, is more environmentally friendly and does not require the use of denitration equipment.

The application of an effective quality system supported with quality policies, objectives, reviews, and corrective action ensures continual improvement and adds value to the customer product. The product offered meets the expectations and needs of the user and the product is continuously maintained to the prescribed standard/specihcation/con-tact/order agreement. 

In reality, however, water treatment companies sell services, such as technology transfer, problem solving management, and applications specialization. These services, when used with chemical tools, provide a range of benefits, including operational efficiencies and added value to customers product. 

Of course, these software programs are likely to be used only by large industrial process corporations as the overall control systems (although designed to save operating costs and add value to customers products) can require considerable capital for their purchase and installation. 

In addition to customer profitability tools at the transaction level, additional tools will need to be implemented and delivered to the accountable individuals in areas such as customer segmentation, target margin setting, contract terms policies, raw material cost movement expectations, and customer/product mix optimization. 

Industrial catalysts are commonly divided into petroleum, chemical, polymerization, and environmental catalyst segments of the market. Companies seek to leverage their expertise in surface chemistry and materials science to develop products and systems that, in turn, improve customers products. 

The functional performance of milk fat, milk fat fractions and butter when used as ingredients in complex food products can be evaluated only by means of empirical trials in which products are made and assessed on a laboratory scale using carefully standardized ingredients, equipment, instruments, procedures and reporting of results (O Brien, 2003). It is commercially important that suppliers of milk fat-based food ingredients be able to demonstrate the efficacy of their products, and be able to supply food manufacturer customers with detailed quantitative advice on how their products can be used to best advantage in customers products functional tests provide the means of doing this (O Brien, 2003). 

The range of chemicals which require some form of purification is extremely diverse. The need for chemical purification is very much a function of what the manufacturer perceives is necessary for their product, and normally reflects the wishes of the customer, product grade, application, etc. Typical improvements made include the removal of colour, and the chemical removal of minor byproducts, since the chemical manufacturer generally requires a product which has good colour, odour and purity. 

Applications developer In this model, businesses work hand-in-hand with customers to develop improved or customized products for new apphcations. Often, these improved or customized products replace another material in the application (e.g., adhesives replacing metal fasteners). Such businesses also provide significant technical services to help introduce and scale up production for these new products.
