A revamp is underway of a widely revered strategy to avoid or mitigate industrial equipment failures. The failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a core Six Sigma tool for improving processes and products. Recent technology advancements are breathing new life into this longtime, largely unchanged best practice.

A confluence of factors like Industry 4.0, the knowledge gap and COVID-19 have created new expectations among the industrial workforce, including the need to grow and retain industrial data scientists.

Reactor operations continue to be critical for today’s refineries, but reactor simulation solutions have traditionally been difficult to use and maintain. The problem is magnified as experienced engineers and operators retire at a faster rate.

Managing the master schedule for pharmaceutical production is like riding a roller coaster — with both calm periods and high-velocity swings. It requires making complex decisions daily in response to fluctuating and intertwining inputs across multiple production areas and over multiple product families.

Today’s pharmaceutical manufacturers face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality medicines quickly, efficiently and economically while complying with regulatory requirements and meeting sustainability goals. AspenTech’s Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) solution digitally guides and records batch procedures in line with the ISPE’s Pharma 4.0 initiative, increasing production quality and reducing cycle time, cost and waste.
