Process evolution manufacturing, transforming

During the past three decades, manufacturing underwent many transformations. The primary process evolutions were total quality management (TQM), theory of constraints (TOC), Lean and the Toyota production system (TPS), and Six Sigma, ft will change even further as companies implement the new processes for digital manufacturing (covered in Chapter 6). 

Fermentation An anaerobic bioprocess. An enzymatic transformation of organic substrates, especially carbohydrates, generally accompanied by the evolution of gas as a byproduct. Fermentation is used in various industrial processes for the manufacture of products (e.g., alcohols, organic acids, solvents, and cheese) by the addition of yeasts, moulds, and bacteria. 

One milestone in the evolution of Fourier transform spectroscopy which will probably be reached in the next three to five years is the full development of efforts by some manufacturers to market visible/UV Fourier transform instrumentation. In fact, the process has already begun on a small scale.56 To be sure, however, this effort even at its height will not be on the same level as present marketing efforts in infrared spectroscopy.57 This commercialization will occur in order to provide instrumentation designed to study the problems mentioned above as well as other problems currently unforeseen. As Connesl7 pointed out, this development is a mark of maturity for the Fourier technique.
