Part Performance and System Compatibility

The system capability of a reverse engineered part has to be thoroughly diagnosed by its differential and integral characteristics relative to its surroundings.

The performance of a reverse engineered part compared to its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) counterpart is vitally critical to the success of a reverse engineering project. The performance of these parts is usually evaluated based on three primary criteria engineering functionality, marketability and safety. From an engineering functionality perspective, part performance is judged based on its structural integrity and system compatibility [2]. 

The purpose of the handover is to let an incoming group of workers take over the task. In control room settings, a compatible state of situational awareness needs to be developed by the incoming team, normally with the help of the outgoing team. This allows the new team to perceive and comprehend the status of the system appropriately. The quality of the handover, therefore, is also an essential part of system performance and safety. 

In distributed control systems, computers and other components from a number of vendors may be part of the network. Consequently, software compatibility and portability is a major concern. Portable software is used to ensure consistent computer performance and to avoid duplicating development efforts. Object-oriented programming techniques are employed to minimize customization for different computers and applications. 

Part dimension is just one obvious parameter that can affect system compatibility. If a part shows an altered geometric form, then how well this part can physically fit in the system will immediately cause concern. System compatibility evaluation goes beyond just geometric form and physically fitting in. Engineers are more interested in how well a new part can be integrated into the system to perform the design function. 

Consider overall compatibility and practicality of all materials and parts in component as a system Does it meet functional and performance requirements Is it compatible with other components that may interact with it, relative to effects of expansion and contraction, structural support or movement,... 

Primary container-closure system-related data will need to cover storage, transportation, and use. The choice of materials of construction, their description, and the ability of the container-closure system to protect from moisture and/or light will need to be considered. The compatibility of the container-closure and its contents will need to consider sorption, leaching, and safety. The performance of the container-closure system will also need to be considered in terms of dose delivery from any associated device that is to be supplied as part of the product. Container-closure components will require adequate specifications covering description, identification, critical dimensional tolerances, and test methodology (including pharma-copeial and noncompendial methods). More data are likely to be required for liquid or semi-liquid products than for solid dosage forms. In the latter, product stability data and container-closure system specifications may suffice.
