Color control is
part of critical path of supply chain- concept-to-consumer.
Customers require smaller production lots
and shorter delivery. Consequently, sending
digit data used for approval over the internet
shortens lead times and reduces costs. Replacing
costly and time consuming process-sending
physical samples.
This paper develops the fundamental principles
and statistical concepts to enable digital
color data to be used for pass/fail decisions.
These are illustrated using real industrial
example.
When we control the acceptability of colorants
and components the results are a reduction
in production time and costs. These mean real
speed to market and money to enterprise. |

Presentation is designed to
highlight the principles of failure analysis,
failure prevention, and product-liability
as they relate to plastic parts. Understanding
why plastic parts fail will help you correct
and prevent premature failures and develop
safe, successful, cost-effective products.
The seminar focuses on the main reasons behind
part failures and how to solve the most common
and troublesome problems facing the designers,
manufacturers, and end-users of plastic products.
Product-liability lawsuits can be devastating
to businesses. A major objective of this workshop
is to teach attendees how to take proactive
approaches to prevent such lawsuits by designing
a well-documented quality program. |
Vishu H. Shah is President
of Consultek Consulting Group, a technical
and management consulting firm. His 35 years
of extensive practical experience in plastics
Industry include product design, processing,
automation, materials, rapid prototyping,
tooling, failure analysis and testing. He
is the author of Handbook of Plastics Testing
and Failure Analysis and has taught various
plastics related subjects throughout his career.
Currently, he is teaching classes covering,
Plastics Theory and Practice, Scientific Molding,

The emphasis is on scientific
approach to a somewhat complex injection molding
process in order to simplify and eliminate
basic misunderstanding about processing techniques
employed today throughout the industry. The
importance of understanding polymer basics,
material flow properties, viscosity-shear
rate curve, major plastics variables in molding,
decoupled molding techniques, data analysis
and interpretation. Fundamental and scientific
approaches to material drying, venting, cooling,
use of regrind, universal set-up sheet, cycle
time optimization, tooling considerations,
etc. Use of modern tools and techniques such
as mold flow analysis, cavity pressure transducers,
and data acquisition tools along with troubleshooting
techniques will also be covered. |

As products are developed,
parts usually have different needs for volumes,
cosmetics, tolerances, and mechanical properties.
The costs of each factor has to be weighed
against which process and tooling type is
most cost effective in the lifecycle of the
product and in the initial capital costs.
The presentation examines the breakdown in
tooling costs versus part cost versus volume.
The attendee should have a better understanding
of volume constraints, tooling costs, and
the possibility of using different types of
tooling and processing during the commercialization
phase of the product. |
Barbara has over 20 years of
