Cleanroom Consultations By Problem

PRODUCT CONTAMINATION CONSULTATION

Determining product contamination by reviewing each step of the production process. Analyze materials being supplied by vendors for their level of contamination. Specify contamination levels of purchased materials and specifications to be on purchase orders. Validate tests for incoming materials. Identify basic test equipment, procedures and qualification of testers. Identify airborne cleanroom contaminants by size, quantity and nature. Determine specific corporate cleanroom personnel contamination emissions. Establish a Corporate Personnel Contamination Index for your particular cleanroom. Recommend abate techniques to lower cleanroom contamination levels by one order of magnitude for your cleanroom. Recommend the true and required contamination level for the product to achieve the desired corporate yield rates.

Cost for this consultation is $2,200 plus travel expenses.

Personnel preparation of materials and carts through airlocks into the cleanroom. Habitual contaminating personnel actions. The difference between male and female actions in the cleanroom. The one contaminating action that 10%+ of personnel are continually performing during the 8 hour work shift. The five activities that personnel perform which, if eliminated, would reduce airborne and surface contamination by a minimum of 50%. The specific “finger print” of your cleanroom contamination level. Dramatic demonstrations that can be performed to shock employees into understanding contaminants. Steps to use to prepare a company Cleanroom Personnel Training Program. Discuss surface contamination levels from appropriate standards such as Mil. Stds., Fed-Stds., NASA Stds., and International Standards from ISO documents, Army Stds., Air Force Stds., Navy Stds., Automotive Stds., Engine Stds., FDA Stds., Pharmaceutical Stds., Medical Device Stds. and other appropriate standards and specifications. Provide the costs to implement all of the above recommendations.

Cost for this consultation is $2,400 plus travel expenses.

REVIEW FOR UPGRADING CLEANROOMS

Review current cleanroom and its construction. Analyze existing production flow process. Determine current compatibility of materials of construction for the product. Specify allowable surface contamination levels of each product component. Select appropriate surface contamination levels from Mil. Stds., Federal Stds., NASA Stds., International Standards from ISO documents, Army Stds., Air Force Stds., Navy Stds., Automotive Stds., Engine Stds., FDA Stds., Pharmaceutical Stds., Medical Device Stds. and over 300 other appropriate standards and specifications. Apply defined values from the above standards and specifications to select the appropriate cleanroom for protecting the manufacturing process. Suggest the best product flow for manufacturing and the contamination level at each work station. Identify a range of clean production solutions and the costs to implement these recommendations. Discuss the best materials for construction.

Cost for this consultation is $2,500 plus travel expenses.

EVALUATING CLEANROOM EQUIPMENT EMISSIONS

Determine particle emissions for all cleanroom equipment. Establish procedures for clean-up of cleanroom equipment and tools for acceptable entry into the cleanroom. Analyze proposed or existing personnel actions near and around cleanroom equipment. Discuss the do’s and don’ts of equipment operation within cleanrooms. Specify allowable surface contamination levels for various types of equipment operating in cleanrooms. Select appropriate surface contamination levels from Mil-Stds., Fed-Stds., NASA Stds., and International Standards from ISO documents, Army Stds., Air Force Stds., Navy Stds., Automotive Stds., Engine Stds., FDA Stds., Pharmaceutical Stds., Medical Device Stds. and over 300 other appropriate standards and specifications. Demonstrate how to perform tests on cleanroom equipment for airborne and surface contamination. How to isolate equipment for contamination tests. Apply defined values from the above standards and specifications to cleanroom equipment. Suggest the best equipment orientation for minimum contamination of nearby or associated cleanroom workstations. Discuss the roll personnel emission and actions affect equipment operations. Establish your company Equipment Contamination Index. Mathematically compute expected cleanroom contamination levels prior to starting equipment operations. Discuss the instruments needed to monitor equipment. Provide the costs to implement all of the above recommendations.

Cost for this consultation is $2,300 plus travel expenses.

PLANNING FUTURE CLEANROOMS

Analyze product susceptibility to contamination by reviewing each step of the production flow process. Analyze materials being selected for wear.
