Finish schedule

Final assembly schedule (FAS)—A schedule of end items to finish the product for specific customers orders in a make-to-order or assemble-to-order environment. It is also referred to as the finishing schedule because it may involve operations other than just the final assembly also, it may not involve assembly, but simply final mixing, cutting, packaging, etc. The FAS is prepared after receipt of a customer order as constrained by the availability of material and capacity, and it schedules the operations required to complete the product from the level where it is stocked (or master scheduled) to the end-item level. 

Laboratory Information Management System. The QC lab must analy2e raw material, in-process, and finished product samples adhere to cahbration schedules record data and perform statistical analyses. These activities lend themselves to the appHcation of software packages such as a laboratory information management system (LIMS) (qv). An inexpensive LIMS is within the reach of even small laboratories. 

One aspect of a contract often overlooked is shipment of finished goods. You have ascertained the delivery schedule, the place of delivery, but how do you intend to ship it by road, rail, ship, or air. It makes a lot of difference to the costs. Also delivery dates often mean the date on which the shipment arrives not the date it leaves. You therefore need to build into your schedules an appropriate lead time for shipping by the means agreed to. If you are late then you may need to employ speedier means but that will... 

All storage tanks should be scheduled for inspection every few years. And on insulated tanks the insulation should finish 200 mm above the base so that checks can be made for corrosion. 

As a project progresses and you monitor performance, there will be times when actual does not measure up to plan. This calls for corrective action. However, don t be too quick to take action. Some deficiencies turn out to be self-correcting. It is unrealistic to expect steady and consistent progress day after day. Sometimes you ll fall behind and sometimes you ll be ahead, but in a well-planned project, you will probably finish on schedule and within budget. 

For high-quality stoving finishes the alkyd is frequently blended with a lesser quantity of an amino resin. This reduces the stoving schedule and enhances most of the physical properties of the finish. 

Good quality steel is used and electrozinc is preferred for washing machines. Steel is pretreated with iron phosphate for economy electrozinc with a fine crystal zinc phosphate. No primer is normally used 25-40/im of finish is applied direct to metal. The required properties are best obtained with a thermosetting acrylic or polyester/melamine-formaldehyde finish. Self-reactive acrylics are usually preferred these resins contain about 15 Vo 7V-butoxymethyl acrylamide (CH2=CH —CO —NH —CHj—O —C4H,) monomer and cure in a manner similar to butylated melamine-formaldehyde resins. Resistance or anti-corrosive properties may be upgraded by the inclusion of small amounts of epoxy resin. Application is usually by electrostatic spray application from disc or bell. Shapes are complex enough to require convected hot-air curing. Schedules of 20 min at 150-175°C are... 

Because of the porous material in the raw plate, both substances are produced in a spongy state with a porosity of about 50 vol%. Tank formation takes between 8 and 48 h, depending on the plate thickness and formation schedule. When the formation process is finished, the plates are washed and dried. They can be stored and later assembled in batteries. 

The scheduling problem is complicated by the fact that the coupled production of grain size fractions and the mixing in the finishing lines prohibit a fixed assignment of recipes to products. Furthermore, there is neither a fixed assignment of storage tanks nor of polymerization reactors to batch processes.
