Service facilitation

Examples include energy markets, which traditionally have been monopolies but are now open to varying degrees of competition. Consumers are often able to buy their gas and electricity from a single suppher. Similarly, consumers nowadays can often source telecommunications, cable television and internet services from a single supplier. 

The reason companies fail in their efforts to shift from a product focus to a customer focus is the organizational complexity that may result. Mi Adidas tried to customize shoes by building a layer of specific one-off customer-focused processes on top of old product-focused processes, which created a havoc in its production system. Companies may organize their basic products with stable demand through efficient and least expensive processes. Less predictable and complex elements can be diverted to customized processes. This technique isolates complexity within the system and minimizes its costs.

In order to facilitate removal and replacement of tubes it is cus-tomaiy to roller-expand the tubes to within 3 mm Vh in) of the shell-side face of the tube sheet. A 3-mm- VH- n-) long gap is thus created between the tube and the tube hole at this tube-sheet face. In some services this gap has been found to be a focal point for corrosion. 

The assessor should also find out whether an effective testing program is in place to help ensure the serviceability of process measurement equipment. The successful toller should have an established calibration program to address the accuracy of critical measurement equipment. Safety critical process parameters should be monitored and critical process equipment should automatically interlock when monitoring instrumentation detects safety critical deviations. Interlocks should either facilitate a remedy to the critical deviation or bring the process to the zero energy state. These instruments and interlocking devices should be routinely tested to ensure operational reliability. 

Provides a purchase specification to facilitate the manufacture, procurement, installation, and testing of vibration, axial position, and bearing temperature monitoring systems for petroleum, chemical, and gas industry services. Covers the minimum requirements for monitoring radial shaft... 

Removable high-speed shaft assembly contains the bearings and seals and is easily removed to facilitate servicing. 

Silent chains are similar to roller chains in that each has a master or connecting link to facilitate ease of installation and removal from a machine. They are usually made of high-carbon steel or heat-treated steel alloys. As a result, this type of chain provides trouble-free service for extended periods. 

A service gauge is usually fitted adjacent to the valve or as part of the valve assembly, to facilitate setting or readjustment. Above about 40 mm pipe size, the basic back pressure regulation valve is used as a pilot to operate a main servo valve. Other pilot signals can be used on the same servo.

An organized document filing system must be maintained. This could be a paper file, an electronic document file, or a mixture of both. The equipment inventory system contains key information on the components of each system, their performance criteria and maintenance and calibration status. All documents including installation and performance documentation, as with other documents necessary to demonstrate the quality of the data, include SOPs for the qualification procedures, calibration, maintenance, personnel training, etc. If the manufacturer s operating, service, or maintenance manuals are used or cited in the operating procedures, copies of these manuals should be maintained. To facilitate retrieval, documentation should be stored in a central location and be indexed for easy retrieval. 

Support services such as administration, engineering, and laboratory functions were moved closer to process units to facilitate operations. These functions were often located in the control center or in separate buildings adjacent to process areas. 

Although polymers in-service are required to be resistant toward hydrolysis and solar degradation, for polymer deformulation purposes hydrolysis is an asset. Highly crystalline materials such as compounded polyamides are difficult to extract. For such materials hydrolysis or other forms of chemolysis render additives accessible for analysis. Polymers, which may profitably be depolymerised into their monomers by hydrolysis include PET, PBT, PC, PU, PES, POM, PA and others. Hydrolysis occurs when moisture causes chain scissions to occur within the molecule. In polyesters, chain scissions take place at the ester linkages (R-CO-O-R ), which causes a reduction in molecular weight as well as in mechanical properties. Polyesters show their susceptibility to hydrolysis with dramatic shifts in molecular weight distribution. Apart from access to the additives fraction, hydrolysis also facilitates molecular characterisation of the polymer. In this context, it is noticed that condensation polymers (polyesters, -amides, -ethers, -carbonates, -urethanes) have also been studied much...
