Benefits of an efficient process control system consistent product quality - variations in product quality are kept to a minimum and reduce your wastage. lower manufacturing costs - detecting faults early means throughput, yield and quality are maintained.
Why do engineers use process control?
In a broad sense, process control engineering is a way of assuring quality and integrity in the production of some highly specific or specialized product. Most engineers work with large-scale processes, usually involving steel and metalwork or polymer resins, as seen in most big production facilities.
How can process control be improved?
- Investigate the current system.
- Check instruments and regulators.
- Make sure controls are working well.
- Identify improvements in control.
- Plan for implementation.
- Take action and improve controls.
- Monitor performance.
How is process control done?
Process Control is the active changing of the process based on the results of process monitoring. Once the process monitoring tools have detected an out-of-control situation, the person responsible for the process makes a change to bring the process back into control.
