Abstract:

A high-level business need was addressed via the development of a solution for setting appropriate targets for product filling processes. This required the calculation of the probability of meeting corporate and regulatory requirements under more realistic assumptions. Throughout the process both technical and non-technical approaches were required. The patented solution is now embedded in the production process through a web-based application that helps the company save time, resources and money.
