High-quality operation of an Outokumpu UPCAST plant: A case study

$15.00

Quality management starts very early, even well before production, during the decision making stages on investments in technology and machinery. The installation, commissioning and technology transfer based on know-why rather than on merely know-how represents the second major step towards quality. Strict process control characterizes the good operation of any plant, presenting the opportunity to benefit from the economies and advantages of continuous inspection and management based on measured plant data, the third element of the quality recipe.
