WE believe that a sound Proof of Performance
contractual item is the best way of eliminating risk to both
the buyer and the seller. 1. Both parties agree as to what constatutes
performance up front, before going to contract. 2. Both parties agree as to the manner in which the
equipment will be tested to prove performance. A sound Proof of Performance procedure is a valuable
item throughout the life of the equipment. The procedure
should be repeated periodically as a "housekeeping" item
simply to insure that nothing has gone awry in the interim,
especially where mechanical devices are involved. The Proof
of Performance concept is valid for most significant
components of an industrial manufacturing complex. This type
of "housekeeping" can result in stable and improved process
capability.
