Contamination Analysis - Essential To Manufacturing Process

By Roy van Rivero


There comes a time wherein a desired output in any manufacturing processes is not attained due to contamination issues. While there are problems that are just marginal, there are also times that a manufacturing facility suffers a big loss in production because of output defects that are just too serious in quantity or quality to let it pass. Such a scenario needs appropriate action - contamination analysis must be performed.

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

- It provides an effective way of determining the root cause of the contamination problem, which lets you make the appropriate decision, giving a core solution and not just a 'band-aid' fix.

- It allows you to determine the type or mode and the mechanism of the contamination and whether or not a quick action is required.

- 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 you educated recommendations that can be useful in avoiding similar issues in your future manufacturing projects. In other words, investigating the cause of failure will help you become more prepared for any contamination issues you encounter in the future.

- It also gives you an expert support (since all conclusions are based on facts and failure analysis) that is necessary should the said contamination case needs to undergo a litigation process.

- It can protect the owner from future financial or reputation damage, which could affect your perpetually when not addressed properly.

Some benefits of contamination analysis:

- Better product output development

- 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 entice more clients.

- Can lead to development of new products.
