Trouble shooting product

The study of the properties of the lyophilized product collected from various locations within the lyophilizing chamber, according to a predefined sampling plan, is a useful technique, especially in areas such as trouble shooting, product development, cycle optimization, validation of cycle limits, and batch-to-batch consistency. The main purposes of carrying out a mapping of the product within the lyophilizer are the following ... 

Microscopists in every technical field use the microscope to characterize, compare, and identify a wide variety of substances, eg, protozoa, bacteria, vimses, and plant and animal tissue, as well as minerals, building materials, ceramics, metals, abrasives, pigments, foods, dmgs, explosives, fibers, hairs, and even single atoms. In addition, microscopists help to solve production and process problems, control quaUty, and handle trouble-shooting problems and customer complaints. Microscopists also do basic research in instmmentation, new techniques, specimen preparation, and appHcations of microscopy. The areas of appHcation include forensic trace evidence, contamination analysis, art conservation and authentication, and asbestos control, among others. 

In this second, completely revised edition, process and plant automation are introduced in a separate section and methods to transfer pilot plant qualifications and process data to production arc presented. The guidelines for process and plant evaluation and qualifications have been updated and enlarged. Trouble shooting is concentrated in a section of its own and literature has been updated with 1(H) new quotations to include references as recent as 2002. and 100 new tables and figures have been added. 

An example of this type of trouble-shooting application was the addition of a molybdenum disulphide dispersion to the lubricating oil in a 400 ton metalforming press, which was reported to have eliminated overheating, increased unit production rate and reduced downtime. 

Plant Operations Objective To produce the product. a) Plant startup b) Trouble shooting c) Process improvement d) Production e) Plant engineering... 

Operating processes use the pilot plant as the trouble-shooting division when trouble shooting is not being carried on, the pilot plant is doing development work on lines of alternative raw materials, improvement of products and by-products, lower costs, safety, bringing the plant up to date, etc. The proper personnel in a pilot plant constitutes the most important feature of its success or failure. 

Unitron metallograph. A sophisticated metal detection device used to check production as well as trouble-shoot areas. 

The beginning of PAT was driven by problem-solving reasons to understand the composition of the material of interest in the process. The measurements were often part of a trouble-shooting effort that was trying to optimize reaction conditions and to understand process factors that influenced the success of the desired reaction. Initially, process analysis was carried out by taking samples from the process in the production plant and transporting them to the analytical laboratories. As a way to optimize time, many analytical laboratory measurements were eventually moved to the production plants (Figure 5.1). 

To assist production engineers for trouble shooting problems in process or when unexplained consumptions of materials occur. 

For the purposes of trouble-shooting and trend analysis of production operations, however, the information requirements of development and production converge, and data acquisition systems for single-pot processors should seek to address the needs of both types of users. 

The supply chain problem escalated and Logistics Director had to spend more time in the trouble shooting of day to day operations. In 3 months there were little progress with the EKIP except some Y2K related systems specification for MFG-Pro and the formation of task groups. The relations between the Logistics Team at the head office and the Production Team at Gebze deteriorated further. 

Trouble shooting in the case of products made from fluororubbers, polyurethane rubbers, hydrogenated nitrile rubber and silicone rubbers is explained. 2 refs.
