What to include in a production review

A useful review needs the complete production result, not only a machine description. Include representative samples and the hardest normal operating case.

  • Product name and representative sample
  • Target and tolerance by weight
  • Bulk density and normal variation
  • Particle size and largest inclusion
  • Dust, bridging, static and fragility behaviour
  • Pack size range and required output
  • Samples that represent breakfast cereal
  • A short video of the present process and fault
