Written for ceramic process managers, engineers and technicians, this book covers the cause-and-effect relationships between fundamental particle physics of powders, fundamental interparticle chemistry in suspensions, and the resulting rheology of crowded suspensions. It then applies these fundamentals to ceramic-forming processes and explains why variations in performance occur and how to correct for them. Predictive Process Control (PPC) is an approach to identifying variations in the properties of raw materials used in ceramic manufacturing and controlling the response of a ceramic composition before it is released to production. Compared to the old method of constant amounts of varying raw materials, this method provides constant percentages of key properties of those raw materials. It has been tested to good effect with very substantial improvement in quality and percent yield, and it is also being used to profile raw material deposits for future exploitation.This authoratative and comprehensive reference on PPC should be a useful resource for technical managers, production engineers and technicians in any manufacturing enterprise which utilizes crowded particulate suspensions.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding. Proverbs 4:7 In the early chapters of the book of Proverbs there is a strong emphasis on three words: knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Perhaps we can apply these words to our philosophy behind the technology of Predictive Process Control. Knowledge is the accumulation of information provided by education as we begin to store the data in our brains that should prepare us for the challenges of the manufacturing environment. It applies to every level and every opportunity of education, formal and informal. This is simply to Know, without any requirement except a good memory, and is the basis for the following two thoughts. Understanding is the assimilation of knowledge, or the thinking process, as we begin to arrange and rearrange the data we Know for quick recall as it may be needed. This also applies to every level and opportunity of education. It is Know-Why based upon what we Know, and it requires some scepticism of oversimplified answers and a hunger for mental consistency. Wisdom is the application of both knowledge and understanding in real life enterprises. As we apply both our knowledge and understanding in those situations, all three are further enhanced by each progressive experience. This is that wonderful Know-How - to apply our education based upon Know-why, which was based upon Knowledge - which provides the confidence we need to advance in all phases of performance.
