monitoring of production process
1Process Analytical Technology — (PAT) has been defined by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a mechanism to design, analyze, and control pharmaceutical manufacturing processes through the measurement of critical process parameters and quality attributes.The …
2Process control — is a statistics and engineering discipline that deals with architectures, mechanisms, and algorithms for controlling the output of a specific process. See also control theory.For example, heating up the temperature in a room is a process that has …
3Process optimization — is the discipline of adjusting a process so as to optimize some specified set of parameters without violating some constraint. The most common goals are minimizing cost, maximizing throughput, and/or efficiency. This is one of the major… …
4Process capability index — In process improvement efforts, the process capability index or process capability ratio is a statistical measure of process capability: The ability of a process to produce output within specification limits.[1] The concept of process capability… …
5Process Development Execution System — A Process Development Execution System (PDES) is a system, which is used by companies to perform development activities for high tech manufacturing processes. A PDES is similar to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in several aspects. The… …
6Fernald Feed Materials Production Center — The Fernald Feed Materials Production Center (commonly referred to simply as Fernald) was a uranium processing facility located near the rural town of Fernald, in Hamilton County, Ohio, about 20 miles northwest of Cincinnati, which fabricated… …
7Condition monitoring — is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery, such that a significant change is indicative of a developing failure. It is a major component of predictive maintenance. The use of conditional monitoring allows maintenance to… …
8mass production — the production or manufacture of goods in large quantities, esp. by machinery. [1915 20] * * * Application of the principles of specialization, division of labour, and standardization of parts to the manufacturing of goods on a large scale.… …
9Landfill gas monitoring — is the process by which gases that are released from landfill are electronically monitored.Landfill gas production results from chemical reactions and microbes acting upon the waste as the putrescible materials begins break down. [Burdekin, O.… …
10Statistical process control — (SPC) is an effective method of monitoring a process through the use of control charts. Control charts enable the use of objective criteria for distinguishing background variation from events of significance based on statistical techniques. Much… …
