Contamination Analysis - Essential To Manufacturing Process

By Roy van Rivero


In any production process, there comes a time wherein the processing machine does not produce the desired quantity or quality of output because of contamination problems. While some errors might be marginal, sometime a production company experiences a big loss because the final product does not meet the quality standard as a result of the said contamination. In short, production failure - a situation that really needs careful analysis.

There are a number of reasons why contamination analysis is important to any production processes. Here are some of the reasons why:

- It is an effective step toward identifying the root cause of the contamination problem that allows you to make the needed action to give a core solution and not just a 'band-aid' fix.

- It also allows you to identify the type or mode and mechanism of contamination - whether an immediate solution is necessary or not.

- It can prevent a probable further deterioration of product's quality, thereby helping you to avoid scenarios that can ruin your reputation as a product provider.

- It allows you to determine early indications of possible product contamination for your future processes based on the signs you have learned. You can prevent potential damage that could present a wider problem in the future that might negatively impact your business as a whole in the long run, particularly when it comes operational costs and assets.

- It also provides expert recommendations that can be used to prevent similar failures in the future. In other words, investigating the cause of a particular failure allows you to become more prepared in case another failure will occur in the near future.

- Because all conclusions can be drawn based on facts you find in contamination/failure analysis, it can give you an expert legal support, which is vital in case contamination issues you experience need to go through a litigation process.

- It can protect a business owner from future financial or reputation damage, which could be perpetual when not addressed appropriately.

Some benefits of contamination analysis:

- Development of a newly-improved product output

- Can ensure that the product you send to the market is that of better quality.

- Can increase your profit as your finished product improves its quality and attracts more customers.

- Can help in developing new products.
