April 2, 2008 - FMEA PRINCIPLES - A LOW RISK APPROACH
The FMEA concept was introduced to take a proactive look at potential failures and weaknesses in designs and processes and is now a way of life for the majority of manufacturers worldwide. The use of FMEAs has proven to be very successful method of systematically analyzing a design or process and as the teams that use the tool grow more knowledgeable about their respective businesses, so the FMEAs grow in value and detail.
April 2, 2008 - DESIGNING CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
As with many companies, the building of custom machinery whether it be automation, or tooling is usually left to the experts in the field, but the problem is: how do you specify your machine or process requirements?
There are many trains of thought and approaches to this end, some companies complete a very detailed machine specification that dictates what products need to be used in the machine build and how the machine needs to operate. The potential hazard here is that the purchasing company is dictating the design of the machine they want to purchase and is not allowing the machine builder to use its expertise to create innovative solutions. Once the machine build is complete, it will be exactly as specified. The focus of this process tends to be solely on the mechanics of the machine because it is a machine specification, when what is really needed is a capable process.
April 2, 2008 - QUALITY PLANNING SOLUTIONS
Quality Planning is an arduous task at best, but does result in the definition of a sound manufacturing process that is appropriate to the product to be manufactured. Because of the volume load of new projects (especially in the case of contract manufacturing) processes must be defined to expedite the Quality Planning process without losing any of the gains that Quality Planning gives the manufacturer.
April 7, 2006 - PLASMA TREATMENT FOR MEDICAL DEVICE ASSEMBLY
The use of plasma technologies to enhance cell adhesion, protein binding and implants has become a dominant choice for medical device surface modi.cation. This diversifed technology allows designers and manufacturers to achieve increased wettability, hydrophobicity, biocompatibility, biofunctionlity and adhesion. Moll plasma processes treat an assortment of in vitro cell culture kits for various customers. |
