Quality Control01:05

Quality Control

1.2K
Quality control is one of the three cyclical quality assurance activities that help keep a system under statistical control. Typical quality control activities include creating quality control charts, conducting proficiency testing, and documenting and archiving results.
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...

Introduction to Statistical Process Control01:15

Introduction to Statistical Process Control

584
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method used to monitor and control quality within processes, particularly in manufacturing and service delivery, by employing statistical methods. SPC aims to distinguish between natural (common cause) variation and variation due to specific changes or events (special cause), allowing for timely improvements and sustained quality. The control chart, a pivotal tool in SPC, visually displays data over time alongside a central line of upper and lower control...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Instrumentation

2.8K
High-performance liquid chromatography, or HPLC, is an analytical technique that separates liquid samples under high pressures. An HPLC instrument consists of glass bottles for storing solvents called mobile phase reservoirs. HPLC-grade solvents are used to maintain high purity, and the dissolved gases are removed using a degasser, such as a vacuum pumping system or sparging with helium. The solvents are then pumped into the analytical column using a screw-driven syringe or reciprocating pumps.

Quality Assurance01:19

Quality Assurance

936
Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Introduction01:11

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Introduction

3.2K
High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), formerly referred to as High-pressure liquid chromatography, is a powerful technique used to separate, identify, and quantify components in complex mixtures. The term "high pressure" refers to using high pressure to push the liquid mobile phase through the tightly packed columns.
In HPLC, two phases play a critical role in the separation process:

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Elution Process

1.4K
In High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), the elution process is critical to the separation of analytes and the quality of chromatographic results. Elution describes how compounds move through the column and separate based on their interactions with the mobile and stationary phases. This process determines the resolution, peak shape, and retention times in the chromatogram, which are essential for identifying and quantifying components in complex mixtures. Understanding the elution...

Summary

Simplify supplier certification with a straightforward, objective program focusing on quality, delivery, and cost. This approach ensures mutual benefits and drives improvements for high-quality, on-time, low-cost supply chains.

Area of Science:

  • Supply Chain Management
  • Operations Management
  • Business Administration

Background:

  • Supplier certification is crucial for ensuring quality, timely delivery, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Existing supplier certification methods are often overly complex, subjective, and difficult to administer.
  • Companies struggle to implement effective supplier certification programs that gain supplier buy-in.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simplified, objective, and mutually beneficial supplier certification program.
  • To detail a one-page format for supplier certification requirements.
  • To outline three core performance measures: quality, delivery, and cost.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a streamlined, one-page supplier certification template.
