Accomplishments
Highlights:
Through the use of a methanol monitoring system, it was found that Thermo Fisher Scientific's suppler could not maintain its own quality requirements. A new methanol provider was selected to meet the companies specific needs. This saved manufacturing from bringing the complete UV detectors line down. The helium gas delivery line had severe leakage problems after secondary additions were added to the system. The work would go on for a period of 18 to 24 months. The staging work implemented with the helium ordering and storage had to be continuosly monitored during this process. There was no down time.Companies I like:
