Defining the optimal performance of manufacturing systems is vitally important in industry. Due to the composition and processing steps required to produce and apply a coating and as such our sector is arguably filled with opportunity to improve. However, changing an upstream process can significantly alter the product quality downstream, so key technical and scientific knowledge is required to understand the process as a whole. The PRA can support you in process development, not only by identifying new processes but helping to create new operational parameters to optimise the process into a repeatable and viable methodology.
