Testimonials
"The ability of the MS2 process analysis system to co-display a multitude of variables simultaneously then quickly identify interactions has already proved to be very useful. Whilst confirming some previously held beliefs there have been some genuine surprises in some of the causes behind process variability. It is this ability to handle and analyse diverse data sets in a user-friendly format which I believe will yield significant benefit to our many processes "
John Budge, Aesica Pharmaceuticals Ltd
"We approached AJM Consulting initially to evaluate the advantages of using multivariate process analysis. Following a successful trial using the software we were able to demonstrate the business benefit through the knowledge gained. So far the software has provided enough information to support a justification to make changes within our process operations for acceptance of batch composition. It has also made it easier to interrogate non numerical databases and gain a better understanding in equipment performance and reliability. Further work is ongoing to develop the use of multivariate techniques to support continuous improvement activities within the business."
Dr Carl Steele, Sellafield Ltd
"Our production processes at Bradford and Grimsby are world class and highly innovative. We constantly strive to improve the performance of these multiple stepprocesses and, to achieve this, a deep understanding of the chemistry and interactions of the individual stages is required. We selected the MS2 Process Diagnostics system from AJM Consulting to assist in this because of its visualisation tools and integrated analysis techniques within the system. The ease of use of the MS2 system has been much appreciated by our highly qualified technical staff, who have been able to identify significant events that have been caused by subtle interactions further up stream. This has enhanced our understanding of our processes, enabling us to focus our improvement efforts on the critical areas in our plants. We see this as a key tool to achieve the next level of performance in our journey to operational excellence. "
John Barratt, Head for Process Innovation and Development Centre, CIBA
"We recognised during plant commissioning that there were substantial opportunities for performance improvement to be achieved by identifying the causes of subtle variability in this complex production process. It was clearly a situation in which many variables interact, so we knew that we required a tool that could handle multivariate problems. We initially assessed the MS2 system by applying it to a known issue and it proved that it could identify and visualise the cause. We have now invested in the system and are using its powerful multivariate visualisation functions to further identify the opportunities to reduce variability, enabling us to optimise the profitability of the manufacturing operation."
Martin Milburn, px Biodiesel
"The use of the MS2 software is as an excellent addition to the tools and technologies employed in the National Industrial Biotechnology Facility. The software allows the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to deliver better and faster services to our clients."
Steve Donegan, Process Technology Manager, CPI
"This capability means the data produced and subsequently interrogated will deliver for the future creating systematic integrated developments for new manufacturing processes for new products by design. In simple terms CPI will produce new more efficient and robust processes at a lower cost."
