Reduce Methylate ($45M achieved vs. $50M firm and $200M goal) NaOMe reduced from 29% to 24% excess in line 2. Reduc tion to 15% excess scheduled for April demonstration. Yield (?102M achieved vs. $50M goal forecast) Represents a yield increase of 1.1% over 1981. R&D Manpower ($57M achieved vs. $50M firm forecast) Reductions for one early retirement (wageroll) and one transfer (exempt) were divided equally between CPC and QA. Dowthernffi Reduction ($182M achieved vs. $0M forecast) Represents savings from in-house component mixing, and for improving solvent recovery. Caustic (Waste Neutralization) (S115M achieved vs. $0M forecast) Represents savings from improved pH control in waste neutralization. Automation studies are scheduled for March.

Loss rate in approaching the historical rate in plant I (0.6 lb./ lb.) . Pigment Losses ($0M achieved vs. $40M firm and $40M goal) Actual gate losses decreased from 900 to 300 pounds per day. As a percentage of production, losses remained constant (6%). R&D Manpower ($57M achieved vs. $20M firm) Reduction for one early retirement (wageroll) and one transfer (exempt) were divided equally between CPC and QA. Lower Cost Beta CPC ($0M achieved vs. $60M goal) The marketing opportunity has diminished for these products.
