Process discipline

Level 2 Basic project management processes are established to track cost, schedule, and fnnctionality. The necessary process discipline is in place to repeat earlier successes on projects with similar applications. 

Level 2 - Repeatable. It is characteristic of processes at this level, that some processes are repeatable, possibly with consistent results. Process discipline is unlikely to be rigorous, but where it exists, it may help to ensure that existing processes are maintained during times of stress. 

There is another element of material selection for a bottle cap which involves the tool building and processing disciplines. It derives from the fact that the decision must be made as to whether the threads are to be stripped off the core, turned off the core or the core is to be collapsed to permit ejection. The tool for the former will be far less expensive and the mold will operate at a much faster rate of speed. However, the material must be one which is flexible enough to strip off the mold, yet rigid enough to perform its other functions.

In general, less formal training is required for the maintenance as opposed to the process discipline. All personnel should be given the basic safety and emergency procedure instructions as well as an appropriate appreciation of plant operation, More specialist training on new equipment can sometimes be gven at the vendor s works, or by special local arrangemenUs offsite. This is particularly important with instrumentation. 

The benefit of using the decision tree approach is that it clarifies the decision-making process. The discipline required to construct a logical decision tree may also serve to explain the key decisions and to highlight uncertainties. 

Chemistry, like any scientific discipline, relies heavily on experimental observations, and therefore on data. Until a few years ago, the usual way to publish information on recent scientific developments was to release it in books or journals. In chemistry, the enormous increase in the number of compounds and the data concerning them resulted in increasingly ineffective data-handling, on the side of the producers as well as the users. One way out of this disaster is the electronic processing, by computer methods, of this huge amount of data available in chemistry. Compared with other scientific disciplines that only use text and numbers for data transfer, chemistry has an additional, special challenge molecules. The molecular species consist of atoms and bonds that hold them together. Moreover, compounds...

Practically, the broad general area of industtial antimicrobial concerns is divided into process and preservative disciplines. Figure 1 shows the key appHcation areas of process and companion-preservative uses, and Table 1 indicates the various market segments.

Mixing of fluids is a discipline of fluid mechanics. Fluid motion is used to accelerate the otherwise slow processes of diffusion and conduction to bring about uniformity of concentration and temperature, blend materials, facihtate chemical reactions, bring about intimate contact of multiple phases, and so on. As the subject is too broad to cover fully, only a brier introduction and some references for further information are given here. 

Unless some discipline is imposed, engineering personnel, especially where contractors are involved, will define far more alarms than plant operations require. This situation may be addressed by simply setting the alarm hmits to values such that the alarms never occur. However, changes in alarms and alarm hmits are changes from the perspec tive of the Process Safety Management regulations. It is prudent to impose the necessary discipline to avoid an excessive number of alarms. Potential guidelines are as follows ...
