Overview

QC labs are not well integrated with the production departments with the results that samples arrive in huge batches that strain the capabilities of the staff and equipment resources. This causes oscillation like a sign wave in the effectiveness of the lab as well as well as delays in critical analysis being done which impact the production group. These types of delays where in process samples are being analyzed cause the plant to be idle. This is inefficient. The session describes a better way to operate using tools to generate smooth flow.

Why you should Attend
