Application of Pareto principle and Fishbone diagram for Waste Management in a Powder Filling Process

This paper represents a detailed assessment on raw material waste generation of a semi-automated powder filling and packing process by applying certain quality tools such as Pareto Analysis and Fishbone Diagram. The aim of this study is to identify the sources or categories of raw material waste and analyse its underlying causes. Waste generation is an unavoidable incident in any production pro...

Development of a Reproducible Powder Characterization Method Using a Powder Rheometer

In this study, a powder rheometer was used to measure flow characteristics of two pharmaceutical model powders. Precise measurements were obtained for one of the model powders whereas the results were less precise for the second powder. In conclusion, further work is needed to increase the mechanistic understanding of powder rheological measurements. INTRODUCTION Modern pharmaceuticals are prim...

A Method of Augmenting Peripheral Venous Filling

Difficult intravenous (IV) access may be a concern encountered by anaesthesiologists in everyday practice. Peripheral venous catheter placement may be difficult, especially at the extremes of age or if the patient is obese, dark skinned, an IV drug abuser, hypotensive [1]. Currently the methods such as ultrasound, laser rod and local hot compress are adopted to deal with the difficulties but th...

The Hole-filling Method and the Uniform Multiscale Computation of the Elastic Equations in Perforated Domains

In this paper, we discuss the boundary value problem for the linear elastic equations in a perforated domain Ωε. We fill all holes with a very compliant material, then we study the homogenization method and the multiscale analysis for the associated multiphase problem in a domain Ω without holes. We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of the solution for the multiphase problem as the mate...
