Quality remains good. The Low Molecular Weight Resin Expansion Project started up by making a batch of 5305 in D-600. Reactors 300, 400, 500, 741 and 742 were shut down for annual rupture disc changeout, hydroblast ing and dye-penetrant testing. im * , September's production set a new thirty-day month record. The fourth quarter resin production (120.9MM pounds) set a new quarterly record, and the FY1990 production is an all time record. Flexible compound demand was below average and inventories in creased by 0.3MM pounds. PLENEX polymers development used thirtythree hours of Line I's time. In FY1990, production of millscrap was reduced from 2.0% of production to 1.2% (the current rate is under 1%). This accomplishment was the result of a natural team proj ect. VAB.0001189942 T. H. Hoffun 10/22/90 Aberdeen Monthly Progress Report - September, 1990 Page 2 #r > TIL- W Rigid compound business was good all month, Several serious quality problems were reported at major accounts, Teams have been formed to investigate. Cot Variable costs were $41M unfavorable due to an unfavorable product mix in the Compound Department partially offset by good raw material efficiencies in the resin and plasticizer units. Fixed costs were $351M unfavorable due primarily to a $258M write off of the Line III Expansion Project that was cancelled in 1984, and a $43M unfavorable benefits clearance. mi All of the plant's natural teams met during the month. Twenty-two teams were recognized for project successes at the third annual Quality Appreciation Day held on September 24 in the plant's auditorium. The results of these teams' efforts will improve the quality of our products, productivity and the environment. The Area II Maintenance Natural Team made its pre sentation to Management. They justified the pur chase of a portable steam cleaner. This investment will be recovered in under six months by reduced outside cleaning costs. The Area I Maintenance Natural Team made its pre sentation to Management. This team recommended changes to the placement and attachment of reactor manway covers to improve the safety of opening and closing the manways. Lou Makakanja, Nibco Inc.'s, Quality Engineer, visited the plant to explain Nibco's product quality data requirements and increased our under standing of Nibco's quality needs. Preliminary results show Aberdeen's Q-Scorecard at 10.8. VAB.0001189943 r 9k T. H.

Some of our team highlights for the month were: Area II Maintenance Natural Team made their pre sentation to Management justifying the purchase of a portable steam cleaner. The steam cleaner will pay for itself In less than six months by reducing outside cleaning costs. The steam cleaner will also save money by extending the life of expensive equipment. The Area I Maintenance Natural Team made their pre sentation to Management justifying modifications to the placement and attachment of reactor manway covers. The team explained how rotating the exist ing hinges, adding a second set of hinges (D700, 745), adding safety chains, and increasing the size of jacking bolts can save a life and reduce the amount of time required to open and close a reactor. The plant held its third annual Quality Appreciation day on September 24 in the plant auditorium. Twenty-two Manager's Quality Awards were presented recognizing teams for the completion of their projects (up from eight in FY89). The teams receiving awards were: Project Engineering Natural Team Millscrap Team Lab C-Shift Natural Team Team (2) al Team Team I&E Natural Team Team Team Scheduler/Planner Natural Team Lab/Vinyl Team Team Recovery System 1 or Blinding Team Team Team Team Team Purchasing Team Team The projects completed by these teams will have a positive impact on the quality of our products, the productivity of our employees, the safety of our workplace and the quality of our environment. VAB.0001189948 Continued In addition to the above listed teams, Mike Kane, Senior Process Engineer, and former Quality Management Coordinator, was presented a Manager's Quality Award recognizing him for his contributions to the improvement of the quality systems at our plant. Lou Makakanja, Quality Engineer, withNibco, Inc., visited the plant on September 10. Our visit with Mr. Makakanja centered on Nibco's requirements for statistical data on product quality parameters.

B. Autrey, S. A. Truitt Reactors 300, 400, 500, 741 and 742 were shut down for annual rupture disc changing, hydroblasting and dye-penetration check. The junction box for each for of these reactors was replaced for upgrade and upkeep. The gearbox on reactor 741 was pulled and the spare was put under 741. The gearbox was removed from 600 and the old gearbox from 741 was placed under 600. The gearbox under 600 had severe pitting and wear on the bullgear. It will be re built for a spare. D500 reactor seal was changed due to wear after nineteen months in service. It has been rebuilt for a spare. Number four Bird was taken out of service due to worn bushings. The spare was installed in its place. The Bird was rebuilt and is the current spare. The motors on #8 Bird and #4 Bird were replaced due to bad windings and bearings. Seven major valves were changed out in the reactor area during the month. '""N VAB.0001189953 COMPOUND - J. E. Nickerson, K. G. Akins Safety The Compound Department had no first aid cases or OSHA recordable injuries in September. The topic of the monthly safety meeting was "Forklift Training" conducted by the Safety Department. Flexible compound inventories rose to 7.72MM pounds in September. The failure of a roll mill motor and a coupling was responsible for sixty-two hours of downtime on Line III. PL&ftSX polymers produc tion consumed thirty-three hours of production time on Line I. Demand for rigid compounds remained steady in September. Several serious, and perhaps unrelated, quality problems have been reported at major accounts. Teams have been formed to investigate specific problems. Plasticizer production continued to increase in September. During the month, 1.78MM pounds of plasticizers were produced. This was the highest production for fiscal year 1990.

Kan The modifications which allow the batch water stripper water to be pumped to the cooling towers have been completed. The system is working well. The batch water stripper stream has been period ically high in VCM causing a potential spike at the inlSt to the wastewater treatment system. TC regulations require that the VCM concentration at the wastewater system thist be less than 200 ppb. A HAZOP was performed on this project. shortly. ' "i A report will be issued Production Model Building Production model building for OASIS is essentially complete. A few customer specific models remain to be completed. Evaluation of the contsmlnatlon related dry blend problems con tinues. There appear to be two separate and distinct problems. One is related to the surface pits found on extruded profiles. The pits are believed to be formed by small pieces of line scale which do not dissolve in the PVC melt. The other problem is related to gross contamination of the dry blend. The contamination problem is a periodic one. The most recent occurrences caused a customer's ex truder screen pack to plug. Two events must occur simultaneously to cause a problem. The dry blend screener must fail (tear) and con tamination must be present. This problem is under investigation with a capital project scheduled for the 2FQ91. ! The new low mole dump system for D-600 was started up this month. One batch of 5305 was made with the system. Work continues to optimize the new controller.

Cnitmmr Contacts - Lou Macakanj a with Nibco visited the Plant to talk to us about our 5265 quality. We discussed the 5265 windows of control and how we could improve our communication with Nibco. Lou told us how important it is for us to look at our quality data in a statistical light and a customer's perspective. He told us that we need to be proactive on explanations for trends and out-ofcontrol points. 8/27 9/18 Southwire reported that two compartments of 5415, railcar #580005, had high contamina tion and rejected the car. Aberdeen Q.C. retains and samples taken from the returned car all showed to be within specification. Vinylume reported having problems with several gaylord boxes of RP-180 WHT 141. The product did not melt down like previous shipments of RP-180. Also, the product has a "magnetic" quality in that it sticks to your hand. The Aberdeen Technical Service Lab is investigating. 9/20 Formtech reported white streaking in brown profile made from RP-91 WHT 110. Their scrap increased from 0.25% to 4.0%. Attempts to duplicate this white streaking in the lab have failed. Samples have been sent to Austin R&D to identify the composi tion of the white streaks. 10/01 Southwire reported that two compartments of 5415, railcar #45873, had high contamination and rejected the car. Samples sent from Carrollton to Aberdeen showed high contam ination and Aberdeen Q.C. retains showed high contamination. This material was made during a start-up of the fluid bed dryer after being down for cleaning and main tenance . 9 VAB.0001189966 LABORATORY - Continued D Customer Product Blane Polymers 5395 Particle Size Dayton Extruded Plastics RP-151 WHT 145 Color Gold Bond E. 2M_!an&X MS& RP-28 WHT 122 Semples % on 40 Mesh The following is a summary of residual VCM results on in- process samples.
