"It would take the joint efforts of at least+ four departments to get our C-30 melt point back to normal. Luckily, the chemistry was there."

What we didn't expect were their calls complaining that our C-30+ melt point had dropped significantly "We quickly assembled a team to tackle the problem: people from Manufacturing, Customer Service, Technology, Engineering, and other areas. "We finally realized that our increased capacity was affecting our diluent temperature. It took a little doing but we corrected the situation without disrupting the product flow to the customers. "What we learned, once again, was that it often takes more t h a n just one discipline to find a total solution." *+ 1
