Process Recommendations

This section provides a high-level view of the recommendations to improve the three supply chain processes at TLC. The comments are related to those recommendations that hold lessons for SCM. Other recommendations, not discussed here, addressed other areas of the company. Each recommendation required TLC managers to evaluate alternatives and set priorities to increase sales and improve cash flow. 

Many potential customers who were just shopping required quotations. These had to take into account the latest exchange rates plus different categories of discounts offered to various classes of customers. In some cases, a quotation would be converted to an order in others, a new order would be generated. Of course, many quotations lapsed without action by the potential customer. Once an order was completed, the QuickBooks system would generate invoices and shipping documents — but the information was keyed into the application. After the order, there is a need to keep customers 

Each document in TLC was generated by hand. Even data entered into the QuickBooks application on the computer was keyed from hand-written documents. While acceptable at lower volumes, the system was seen as inadequate for further growth. Manual entry was also prone to errors and inadvertent violations of pricing policies. It was also difficult to know what inventory items were committed to customers and which were available-to-promise. 

TLC felt its supply chain was already unique. But it was also considering alternative channels for its products, which promised further complication rather than simplicity. For this reason, TLC chose to customize a database for entering and tracking orders through the fulfillment cycle. The result was the conceptual design for the database to cover all the desired functionality. One advantage of this approach was the ability to add functionality incrementally. The top priority was gaining visibility over available-to-promise (ATP) product in the pipeline. This was selected as the first component of the database. 

Rather than assign unique stock numbers to each item, TLC chose to identify items by several categories

The process recommended by Gay-Lussac, for the preparation of pure carbonate of soda, is also a good one, and lass troublesome than tire former. He washes the ordinary commercial crystals of this salt with cold water dissolves them in hot water, and cools tire solution rapidly by surrounding it with cold water, stirring it all tho time with a spatula, so that email crystals may be formed. These are to he collected on a funnel, and after the mothar-liquor has been drained off, washed with cold water till the drainings mixed with excess of nitric aofd no longer give a precipitate with nitrate of silver. The crystals are then to be dried, and when heated to low redness, the pure anhydrous carbonate remains. 

The plan above slated is applicable to the purification of the supply of water to towns, as well as to small quantities for domestic and manufacturing purposes. To broweTS, dryers, starchmokers, soda water and lemonade manufacturers, et cetera, a supply of water free from color and organic impurities is an essential requisite and the Editor after long and careful Btudy of the numerous processes Recommended for purifying water, prefers the one above detailed, as being, at once the most simple, easy, and effectual. 

Listed below are the membrane processes recommended for the appropriate contaminant category. 

Due to the ease of formation of third phase with CMPO, many literature reports are based on the use of the mixture of 0.2 M CMPO + 1.2 M TBP as the solvent (63). This mixture has also been used in the TRUEX process recommended for the partitioning of minor actinides from HLW. Some applications of CMPO for the separation of Pu include its recovery from assorted laboratory wastes and oxalate supernatant (64, 65). 

The sections below detail the steps of the evaluative process recommended by the subcommittee. Box 2-1 is a sample table of contents from an evaluation of lithium (Moore et al. 1995b) using a similar process. 

Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Chapter 4 of this report describe the process recommended by the Subcommittee on Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology for evaluating exposures to agents for reproductive and developmental toxicity. Appendix A illustrates how that process can be used. This chapter contains a discussion of several general recommendations and areas of research that the subcommittee believes would improve the Navy s ability to evaluate exposures to agents. 

Even though the two-stage process recommends itself for the flexibility it offers for the optimization of each oxidation step, the single-pass option is attractive as it requires lower investment for fewer reactors and other equipment. The catalysts claimed in the patents are generally multicomponent metal oxides based on Mo with Te as the promoter. However the yields are lower (50-60%) and deactivation faster owing to the volatility of Te oxide.

Obviously, had they adopted the simpler process recommended by Welsbach, the operating costs would be less than half of the actual costs in installation I, which actually utilizes the more economical Welsbach ozonators. And if they adopted the new process, with Welsbach ozonators, the operating costs would be reduced to less than a third. In other words, the Berne plant cannot be cited as a sensible and economical example of water treatment. 

At Sipplingen, on the German shore of the Lake of Constance, where they are making ready to pump 10,000 cubic meters of water per hour for the city of Stuttgart 130 km. to the north, a second small pilot plant has just been installed to purify the water with the new process recommended for Berne. There is nothing to report on these tests yet. 

Recently Yoshida et al. have employed silyl-stabilized a-alkoxy organolithium reagents for the synthesis of a variety of carbonyl compounds. Methoxy(trimethylsilyl)methane and methoxybis(trimethyl-silyl)methane, when deprotonated with Bu Li and Bu"Li respectively, give anions which can be alkylated with a variety of electrophiles. Electrolysis of a solution of the alkylated product in methanol yields, by virtue of the reduced oxidation potential of ethers a-substituted with silicon, either the dimethyl acetal or in the latter case the orthoester. The mildness of the electrolytic process recommends the method for the preparation of a variety of carbonyl compounds. 

The bacterial species to be used in a BI must be selected carefully, as it must be non-pathogenic and should possess above-average resistance to the particular sterilization process. Resistance is adjudged from the spore destruction curve obtained upon exposure to the sterilization process recommended BI spores and their decimal reduction times (D-values ...

Pharmaceutical Preformulation and Formulation A Practical Guide from Candidate Drug Selection to Commercial Formulation covers a wider subject area than just preformulation. Topics include biopharmaceutics, drug delivery, formulation and process development aspects of product development. The book also describes a logical and structured approach to the product development process, recommending at what stages appropriate preformulation, biopharmaceutics and formulation work is best undertaken. 

A key aspect of the process recommended by Acar et al. [64] is to continue electrolysis for a sufficient time to completely acidify the soil mass. The effects of hydroxide ion formation at the cathode can be alleviated further by the addition of a weak acid. Anions of this weeik acid, for example acetic acid, will migrate upstream but upon meeting the downstream H" " ions, associate to form nonconducting molecules.

Recommendation The committee recommends that PMNSCM continue to develop and optimize SCANS to increase the number of CAIS vials and bottles that can be cost-effectively treated with multiple SCANS units. If the development program results in a system that can be cost-effectively used for a large number of vials and bottles, the system should be fielded as rapidly as possible. This approach would allow reserving the RRS for treating very large numbers of CAIS and PIGs containing CAIS, which the SCANS cannot process (Recommendation 2-8). 

This chapter summarizes some of the most characteristic results obtained with the use of mainly homogeneous metal complex eatalysts either in the industry or in processes recommended for practical use. These are large seale processes of asymmetric synthesis of the herbicide metolachlor, synthesis of optically pure menthol with the use of chiral iridium and rhodium phosphine complexes, consideration of the synthesis of ethyl 2-hydroxybutyrate as a monomer for the preparation of biodegradable polyesters with use of heterogeneous ehiral modified nickel catalyst, the manufacturing of (fJ)-pantolactone by means of a possible eata-IjTic systems for enantioselective hydrogenation of ketopantolactone, and catalytic systems for the preparation of other pharmaceuticals.

Economically, both of the above technologies have inherent handicaps. The capital cost per tonne of liquid SO2 in the above technologies will be at least two to three times higher than the capital cost required for the process recommended here. 

But to categorise these writings is an unstable operation. Everywhere you look there is cross-fertilisation, overlap and the dissolving of divisions. Essays turn into fictions, fictions into essays criticisms of others or readings of modern fictions may be commentaries on her own processes recommendations of how to read may be demonstrations of how to write. There is an attractive example of this in the much-revised essay How Should One Read a Book ... 

Resin Drying. Like conventional PET, PEN is sensitive to hydrolysis and must be dried prior to melt processing. Recommended drying conditions for PEN are shown in Table 13. 

To prevent blistering in the large areas of copper plafing, vent or relief holes in the copper metallization are required. These holes relieve stress during process temperature excursions. The manufacturer of substrates using this process recommends that the vent holes be used whenever a copper pad area exceeds 4 square inch. The holes should be 0.010 in. in diameter on a 0.050-in. pitch. Because vent holes in the metallization will introduce voids, they are not recommended on pads located directly under a high-heat-generating device.
