Process evaluation first depends on a collection
of historical data to determine where a process is running.

• Students document the old process standings such as part weight, cycle time, scrap rate, and other variables associated with producing a part.

• The next step is to do machine testing to find out if the machine is working properly or if it has issues.

• Students then optimize process and document the new process standings such as part weight, cycle time, scrap reduction, and other key variables associated with producing a part.

• Learn care and maintenance of a process log book and why it is needed in optimizing our injection molding efficiencies
