Abstract:
In this paper the first steps towards a scaling up of a ceramic process are
described, using as case study a lab-scale process, in which PZT ceramics are
produced via an aqueous tape casting route. The process, the result of a
feasibility study, was firstly analysed by drawing flowcharts; potential
problems and flow bottlenecks were then identified and their solutions were
pursued using a "soft" problem solving approach.
