Failure Analysis
Meeting or exceeding product specifications in a manner that minimizes manufacturing costs and prevents catastrophic failures and product liability issues is a competitive necessity. Generally, more money is spent in chemical analysis than any other failure analysis step, and yet this is the data type that is most prone to being lost because it is difficult to manage.
ACD/Labs offers chemistry software that unifies analytical data, record keeping, impurity detection, and component analysis of material for the chemical industry.
Establish Good Record Keeping
Record keeping in an organized manner is a necessary part of failure analysis. Sample acquisition data, date of collection, number of pieces, manufacturing marks on sample, safety considerations, and observations about the environment are but a few. Use easily customizable data entry templates to enforce good record keeping.
