Level of Impact

The second way to classify supply chain projects recognizes that improvements move beyond the department or the business unit into the extended enterprise. In an earlier article by Jim Ayers, Craig Gustin, and Scott Stephens, we envisioned three stages for supply chain reengineering efforts. These corresponded to their scope in terms of effect on levels of the supply chain. Three stages are appropriate.

The neady symmetrical composition of SBI-PC (T = 230° C) makes birefringence disappear iu homopolymers, but the material becomes very britde due to the blocking of the free rotation of the aromatic rings, which puts its technical appHcation iu question. Only a copolymerization with 80 wt BPA-PC reaches sufficient levels of impact resistance but T is lowered to 170°C and birefringence iucreases to 80% of that of BPA-PC (195,196). In contrast, TMC-PC as a homopolymer already has sufficient impact resistance at a T of 238°C and a birefringence of 83% of that of BPA-PC (195,205) (Table 7). 

Tough transparent sheet may be produced by blending standard polystyrene with block copolymer in an extruder in the ratios 80 20 to 20 80, depending on the application of the products subsequently thermoformed from the sheet. For example, sheet for thermoforming an egg tray will not require the same level of impact strength as that required for jam jars.

Vanillin would appear, like many of the animal notes, to act as a trigger to our awareness of smell. Trace amounts in a formula will not only bring out the character of a perfume but raise its level of impact. It appears to work in a perfume in very much the same way as a pinch of salt in cooking. Most dishes, even those that we do not immediately think of as being salty, benefit by its use, but too much can be a disaster. As an ingredient of most carnation bases, as well as of amber notes, it finds its way into nearly every perfume. 

Figures E. 1 through E.3 illustrate the three matrices used in the exercise described in Chapter Four. Each figure displays the impact of one of three approaches to hydrogen policy— market-only, moderate, and aggressive—and the level of impact for various investment and policy goals given the four future scenarios described in Chapter Four. Forum groups color-coded the matrices to indicate their ideas about likely outcomes. The matrices are reproduced here in grayscale.

Recycled PVC supermarket trays have been used successfully in production-scale trials to make the foamed layer in coextruded cladding. The extruded product had satisfactory foam density, foam structure and colour. Impact properties were better than those of the control made from virgin PVC this is attributed to the high levels of impact modifier used in tray formulations. These trials demonstrated that PVC straight-on trays can be recycled into foamed extrusions for wood replacement products. 8 refs. 

Oriented polystyrene (OPS) is widely used for many packaging applications, including deli and bakery packaging. The biaxial orientation of the crystal polystyrene provides a significant improvement in impact strength and makes a very rigid material. Even with the enhancement of impact resistance, usually some level of impact modifier is required. SBCs are an excellent modifier for OPS. They help maintain the excellent clarity while also improving impact and processability of the OPS. 

Strength of the T110 alloy welded joints made by the arc method is 0.93-0.97 of that of the parent metal, and for the EB welded joints this property amounts to one. All welded joints in alloy T110 have the level of impact toughness in excess of that of welded joints in alloy VT22. 

Although the unmodified styrenics, viz. polystyrene, SAN and SMA copolymers, exhibit good clarity, strength and rigidity, they are invariably brittle for many applications. Hence the rubber modified styrenics such as HIPS and ABS, which combine a good level of impact strength with... 

Hence the development of polycarbonate blends was primarily market driven, with a motivation to extend the applications of polycarbonate into areas where improved chemical resistance and processability are required while still retaining high impact strength. In the development of all the polycarbonate blends the common goal was to maintain a very high level of impact strength while improving the properties and cost balance (Table 15.24). 

S-MMAIPC blend. This blend (Novacor SD-9101) was reported to have better flow, surface finish and scratch resistance than PC/polyester blends and an equivalent level of impact toughness (Table 15.24). It is believed that these formulations also include some acrylic rubber (core-shell type) for impact modification. One would expect a sufficient level of partial miscibility for self-compatibilization between the styrene-methyl methacrylate copolymer (S-MMA) and the polycarbonate especially at high MMA content of the copolymer, since the binary blends of PMMA... 

A variation in the ratio of g-PE to g-EPDM causes a marked variation in the impact strength of PA blends. Eor the two types of blends, a maximum was observed at 50-70 wt% of g-EPDM in g-PE/g-EPDM blends. A rather high level of impact strength is found at negative temperatures (about 25 kJ m at —40°C and 18 kJ m at -60°C, Pig. 18.8b). 

Indicator levels are determined based on the ease of measurement and its ability to respond to change. We describe three levels of indicators level I indicators are easily measurable, whereas level 11 and 111 indicators provide more scientihc rigor and are used to support the validity of easily measurable indicators. For routine monitoring of a wetland, only selected level I indicators are used to assess the level of impacts. As dehned, assessment endpoints are explicit expressions of an environmental value to be protected, whereas measurement endpoints are measurable responses of an assessment endpoint to a stressor (USEPA, 1992 Suter, 1990). Level I indicators are of low cost, are easily measurable but less sensitive to stress/impact, and show a weak spatial variability and have long response time. Level II indicators are moderately complex and sensitive, show moderate spatial variability, and have medium response time. Level III indicators are highly complex and sensitive, show high spatial variability, and have short response time (Figure 15.3). 

Performance against the three following IFOAM principles has not been monitored sufficiently to demonstrate overall levels of impact much less continuous improvement. These principles appear to have remained at the level of general statements. They need to evolve into technical criteria with measurable standards.
