Encipherment
Deutsch: Verschlüsselung / Español: Cifrado / Português: Cifragem / Français: Chiffrement / Italian: Cifratura
Encipherment is a crucial technique in quality management for protecting sensitive information. By transforming readable data into an encoded format, encipherment ensures data confidentiality and integrity. This process is vital for maintaining the security of quality management systems, especially when handling proprietary data, personal information, or compliance-related documents.
Crystallisation
Deutsch: Kristallisation / Español: Cristalización / Português: Cristalização / Français: Cristallisation / Italiano: Cristallizzazione
Crystallisation is a fundamental process in quality management, particularly in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemical manufacturing. This process involves the formation of solid crystals from a homogeneous solution, which is crucial for producing high-purity and high-quality products. The precise control of crystallisation parameters ensures consistency and reliability in the final product.
Enclosure
Deutsch: Einschließung / Español: Inclusión / Português: Inclusão / Français: Enfermement / Italian: Inclusione
Enclosure in the context of quality management refers to the process of isolating or segregating non-conforming products or processes to prevent them from affecting the quality of the final product. This can involve physical isolation, such as placing defective items in a designated area, or procedural isolation, like halting a production line until an issue is resolved.
Calorimeter
Deutsch: Kalorimeter / Español: calorímetro / Português: calorímetro / Français: calorimètre / Italian: calorimetro
Calorimeter in the context of quality management refers to an instrument used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical reaction, physical change, or heat capacity. In quality management, a calorimeter is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of temperature-related measurements and processes, which are often critical for maintaining product quality and safety.
