To establish criteria for allowing innovations, experimentation and piloting of different early childhood models as well as for training methodologies based on realistic cost-effective alternatives.
Furthermore, the success of any design for a Six Sigma model depends on customer focus, bottom-line focus, top management commitment, top business challenges, Six Sigma staff commitment, infrastructure implementation, engineering robust design, and pilot experimentation.
GMB: experimental design, experimentation, and manuscript preparation, NWH: experimentation, EDL: research design and manuscript preparation.
And pilot schemes are the perfect vehicle for pushing on the necessary, open-minded experimentation.
To facilitate the experimentation, the pilot plant was superimposed by a computer-supported experimental environment that enabled: (i) easy access to all data (on-line signals, laboratory measurements, batch parameters) needed for the design of the algorithm, (ii) the immediate application of the algorithm designed off-line in the Matlab™ package also in real-time control.
During four months of experimentation, the pilot plant (TAMR – Thermophilic Aerobic Membrane Reactor) was operated at 49±± 1 °C and the organic loading rate was 1.5 5.5 kgCOD m−3 d−1 with a hydraulic retention time of 5 10 days.
Distinguished scientist, physician, author and pilot.
At academic hospitals it would be interesting to assess what was learned with experimentation in pilot implementations.
This study focuses on the on-line estimation of unmeasured inputs over a wide range of simulation and a practical experimentation on a pilot plant: an anaerobic fixed bed reactor.
