Quality Control Process

Quality is a benchmark to determine the level of good and bad of a product. The level of quality of a product will affect customer satisfaction, hence, to produce high quality products, it is necessary for a company to have a quality control process. Quality control is a process that aims to maintain the quality of products and services that have been promised to consumers. In this study, quality control is carried out in the sugar packaging process. Where in the sugar packaging process found the resulting product has a poor quality, defective and not in accordance with specifications. This study uses the Statistical Process Control (SPC) method which aims to determine the causes of defective products with the intention that the packaging process can further minimize the level of product defects. The SPC method is a statistical analysis technique with seven statistical tools or seven tools. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the cause of product damage / defects in the product packaging process is caused by three types of damage namely damage due to conveyor (38.17%), damage due to machine pinched (35.82%), and damage due to loose seams (26,00%) This type of damage can be caused by human error and other factors such as engine condition, engine cleanliness and the monitoring process. Proposed improvements recommended for the company are to provide training to employees, make clear work instructions, conduct periodic maintenance for the machines used, supervise all work areas, and carry out quality control for every acceptance of raw materials.

Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

BackgroundThe global prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing alarmingly. However, the quality of vital medicines and medical products used to treat and monitor diabetes remains uncertain but of potential great public health significance. Here, we review the available evidence on the quality of antidiabetic medicines and supplies for self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and discuss their potential impact for the patients and society.MethodsSearches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Google and relevant websites in English and French. The Medicine Quality Assessment Reporting Guideline (MEDQUARG) was used to assess the quality of medicine quality surveys.Results52 publications on the quality of antidiabetic medicines, including 5 medicine quality prevalence surveys and 20 equivalence studies, were analysed. The prevalence surveys and equivalence studies included 674 samples of which 73 (10.8%) were of poor quality. The median (Q1–Q3) concordance with MEDQUARG items was 30.8% (19.2%–42.3%). No prevalence surveys on SMBG supplies’ quality were found, but 29 publications, including falsified products and incorrect results due to strip degradation or contamination, were identified.ConclusionThere is little accessible evidence on the quality of antidiabetic medicines and SMBG supplies. Surveys were poorly designed and reported, making data aggregation and interpretation problematic. Despite these caveats, these results suggest that there are important issues with the quality of medical products for diabetes that need focused monitoring. There is an urgent need to achieve consensus protocols for designing, conducting and reporting medical product quality surveys.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42016039841.

Abstract:Indonesia is a producer of various types of fruit. Production and area of plantations tend to increase every time. However, its quality and safety still need attention. In general, the low quality of fruit is caused by postharvest management, one of which is in the packaging process. Specific temperatures and pressures will affect air circulation in the fruit packaging container. Besides, the good packaging design of containers will result in proper air circulation. The finite volume method is used to analyze air circulation in the optimization of postharvest technology based on packaging procedures. The results showed the higher the incoming air pressure, the temperature of the air formed in the packaging container would be even higher. The air holes with the up and down position help in the process of air circulation more evenly. More air holes will increase the temperature of the air inside the packaging container.Abstrak:Indonesia merupakan penghasil beragam jenis buah. Produksi dan luas pertanaman cenderung meningkat setiap waktu. Namun demikian mutu dan keamanannya masih perlu mendapat perhatian. Secara umum, rendahnya mutu buah disebabkan oleh pengelolahan pascapanen, salah satunya dalam proses pengemasan. Suhu dan tekanan tertentu akan mempengaruhi sirkulasi udara di dalam wadah kemasan buah. Selain itu, desain wadah kemasan yang baik akan mengakibatkan sirkulasi udara yang baik. Metode volume hingga digunakan untuk menganalisis sirkulasi udara dalam optimasi teknologi pascapanen buah berdasarkan prosedur pengemasan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan semakin besar tekanan udara yang masuk maka suhu udara yang terbentuk di dalam wadah kemasan akan semakin besar. Posisi lubang udara dengan posisi atas dan bawah membantu dalam proses sirkulasi udara yang lebih merata. Semakin banyak lubang udara akan meningkatkan suhu udara di dalam wadah pengemasan.

The training includes introducing the concept of packaging, the benefits of packaging, packaging design, and making packaging product. Kemplang crackers, Rengginang, Chips, and Pempek are commodities produced by the SMEs assisted by the PPMK in Prabumulih City. However, the packaging is inadequate so that it is not feasible to be marketed to a wider market such as minimarkets, hotels, or other modern markets. The result of this training is that participants understand the importance of adequate packaging so the product has value-added and can increase product competitiveness. Participants become skilled in packaging after packaging practice. We recommend that the training program for packaging craft products be continued by providing packaging tools so that more groups of craftsmen can experience the benefits. The training participants are expected to be able to take an active role in improving the quality of the product and pass the knowledge they have gained to other craftsmen in their area.

Abstract An advanced sample preparation protocol using Xe+ Plasma FIB for increasing FA throughput is proposed. We prepared cross-sections of 400 μm and wider in challenging samples such as a BGA (CSP), bond wires in mold compound or a TSV array. These often suffer from FIB milling artifacts. The unsatisfactory quality of the cross-section face is mainly due to extremely different milling rates of the various materials (polyimide, tin, copper, mold compound, platinum), ion beam induced ripples [1] or due to significant surface topography. We explored the usability of the protocol for standard cross-sections and also tested the preparation of TEM lamellae. The process parameters of the proposed approach were compared with the standard methods of Xe+ Plasma FIB FA with respect to preparation time and cross-section quality. Aiming for ultimate results, we incorporated the Rocking stage technique which also greatly improves cross-section quality.

Comprehensive Framework

Product packaging design is often produced through the practical application of tacit knowledge, rule of thumb and professional connoisseurship. Stakeholders are becoming increasingly demanding that design practitioners provide clarity of reasoning and accountability for their design proposals. Therefore, a better framework for the design of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) is required. This paper proposes a comprehensive taxonomy of ‘design considerations’ to assist the development of low involvement FMCG packaging and aid in rationale communication for design solutions. 302 academic sources were reviewed, inductive content analysis performed to code topics and output validation with academic and industry experts (n=9) through a modified-Delphi card sorting method. The research provides movement towards a comprehensive framework and common dialogue between stakeholders, practitioners and managers to assist in more effectively communicating the value that design can offer to FMCGs. The constructed taxonomy provides a set of 156 ‘design considerations’ to support in objective and informed design decision-making.

Drinking Purpose

In Rajasthan state the ground waters of some areas like Ramganj-mandi, Morak, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Chittor and Udaipur etc. are susceptible from drinking point of view.To test the quality of groundwater in Chittor district 14, ground water samples were collected from various places and analyzed for pH, E.C., Fluoride and Nitrate parameters by standard methods (A.P.H. A., Washington, USA, 1995). The study revealed that none of the ground waters was found suitable completely from drinking point of view. Some are having electrical conductivity > 1.4 dS/m, some are having pH >8.5, some area having fluoride >1.5 ppm and some are having nitrate>45 ppm. These are the limits of various parameters permitted by various International authorities like Bureau of Indian Standard, Indian Council of Medical Research,world health Organization etc. for drinking waters. So, it is recommended to the residents of above areas to use water for drinking purpose only after reverse osmosis or adopting suitable method of removing excess of Fluoride and Nitrate for drinking water to avoid unwanted pathogenic diseases harmful for human health.
