Operations
November's PVC production set an all time monthly production record.
In the flexible compound unit, there was planned downtime on all lines to control inventories. A trial run of Vistel 9102 was completed on Line V. This material was produced for U-Brand, an injection molding fittings customer.
Costs
Fixed costs were essentially at budget.
Variable costs were favorable due to product mix in the compound departments and correction of October's variable costs.

All of the plant's natural teams met during the month of November. Some of the team highlights for the month were:
The Senior Mechanical Engineer's Natural Team reviewed the proposed scope of their project to improve operations and maintenance involvement in capital projects.
The Warehouse Natural Team made their presentation
to management recommending the extension of the
roof over the loading dock.
The team's
presentation detailed how their recommendation will
improve safety and reduce product loss by keeping
the loading dock dry.
m The Vinyl Operations Superintendent's Natural Team began RVCM Cpk improvement planning and data collection to reduce VGM switching costs.
The Safety Supervisor's Natural Team continued work on their project to establish guidelines for Security Guard responses to unusual events.
Informational meetings were held for all plant personnel on November 8th and 12th to present 1990 Gainsharing results.
Presentations from Executive Management were held on November 28th and 29th. Many thanks to Jim Ball and John Weidner for taking the time to travel to Aberdeen and for fielding our questions.

FVC;
Favorable VCH use, utility consumption, packaging usage, and a
favorable product mix were partially offset by producing less
than budgeted amounts of offgrade resin.
(NOTE:
Offgrade
production was 0.0208 pounds per pounds of FVC versus a 0.0232
standard. Because "debox" resin is credited at 26.0 cents per
pound versus the 21.8 cents per pound standard cost of
production, the plant was "penalized" $83.1M for making less than
budgeted amounts of debox.)
Flexible Compound: The unfavorable variance was essentially all due to product mix.
Ridgid Compound:
The favorable variance was essentially all due to product mix.
Plasticizer:
Favorable raw material use (an offset of last month's unfavorable variance) was the primary reason for the November variance.

VINYL - J. D. Olson, J. M. Vinoski
Safety
The Vinyl Department had no first aid case or OSHA recordable injuries during November.
The monthly safety meeting topic was "Earthquake Awareness".
general
1. November resin production, at 42.6MM pounds, is an all-time
Aberdeen monthly production record.
This is even more
significant considering the thirty-day month.
2. Steam stripping optimization work was completed in November. Residual VCM figures have shown dramatic improvement.
3. The resin raw materials in the 744 account were valued at $283.1M.

COMPOUND - J.S. Nickerson, K.G. Akins
The Compound Department had one OSHA recordable injury in November. A compound operator suffered a contusion and fracture of the distal portion of his left index finger while cleaning a piece of equip ment.
The topic of the monthly safety meeting was "Earthquake Preparedness".
The three flexible compound lines and the dry blend unit were
scheduled down for the two-day Thanksgiving holiday.
The
plasticizer unit operated all thirty days this month due to the
continued strong external demand for plasticizer.
Line I roll mill cooling channels were acid-cleaned to increase heat transfer through the mill. This will facilitate the production of PLENEX polymers by preventing the buildup of heat on the roll mill surfaces which causes excessive sticking.
A production trial of VISTEL 9102 was completed November 7th on Line
V. The material was produced for U-Brand, an injection molding
fittings customer. This compound, if successful, would replace the
90172D dry blend we currently produce for U-Brand.
Customer
evaluation is scheduled for early December.

ENglHEERING - R. E. Polk, S. C. Hillman. M. R. Kane
An environmental consulting firm, Clements and Associates, has been hired to evaluate ways to address the risks calculated from the model of plant emissions done by Scott Environmental.
Plant engineering has obtained the EPA approved air dispersion model and local area meteorological data to evaluate concentrations of VCM emissions at and beyond plant boundaries. This model is being used to evaluate the effect of various emissions sources on the total plant emissions.
Rigid Vistel 9102 pellets from the preliminary trial on Line V ran well when tested at U-Brand in early December. A longer Line V run is being planned for late December to make a 20,000-pound sample for U-Brand to trial. This trial run will allow the plant to get additional experience running 9102 on Line V and further evaluate the capacity of Line V to accurately weighup and compound the UBrand material.
A design is being prepared to modify the bottom dump/charge manifold for reactors D400, D700 and all the New Module reactors. The elimination of the rinse-to-sewer step by the cleanwall project has resulted in an increase in hard particles for resin made in these reactors due to the holdup of resin in the bottom dump/charge manifold. Before the implementation of BUS-80, this resin was rinsed to the sewer, but now it is held up in the manifold and is flushed back into the reactor on the next charge to be double poly merized.
An outline was developed for Klockner concerning preliminary commit ments they would need to make for us to successfully evaluate the manufacture of an Ultraclean 5305 resin. This commitment would need to include their providing samples of good and bad calendered sheets and resin, and provide lines of communication for feedback on trials.
HAZOPs were completed on the New Water Plant and Incinerator Replacement projects in November and early December. In both cases, several items were identified to improve safe operation of the projects.

umwATOBT - J. M. Edwards, Jr.
A. Safety
There were no safety incidents in the Laboratory during November. The monthly safety meeting topic was "Earthquake Preparedness".
B. Customer Contacts
Jim Edwards accompanied John Olson to Southwire in Carrollton, GA for Vendor Appreciation Day.
Carolyn Vaughan, Jill Tompkins and Jeffery Schense with United Technologies Automotive made an audit of the Aberdeen Plant. The audit included accounting, shipping and receiving, production, quality control and other quality processes in the plant.
C. Customer Q.C. Problem Reports and CNR'a
11/01
Dayton reported finding 0.13% oversized material (>40 mesh) in "A" compartment of RP-151 WHT 145 railcar VIPX 45718. Aberdeen Process Engineering, Quality Control, R&D Technical Services Lab and Production are all working to reduce line and blender scale formation in dry blend.
11m AT&T Technologies. Omaha. BE
The customer reported significant degrada tion of product in one compartment of 34862 GRY 546 compound in railcar VIPX 45745. Samples of the problem material were sent to Aberdeen and Austin for analysis. The samples showed some glowing pellets under an ultraviolet light. The glowing pellets were analyzed in Austin as fused and degraded resin sandwiched to the compound pellets. Production will respond to the complaint.
11/20
The customer reported a problem with contam
ination in a car of 5385. Contamination
resembled the black nylon seals used for the
railcar hatches.
The samples sent to
Aberdeen from Eagle were confirmed to be
Vista's seals. All Vista Yard Operators
were told about the problem and Eagle
personnel were warned about the possibility
of the seals springing into the car when the
hatches are forced open.
Continued
The customer reported that the second truck of 5265 In a two-truck order processed with considerable difficulty. Retains show both trucks were 5265 with similar physical properties. The certificate of analysis of the second truck was reported on a 5305 form which added to the suspicion that something was different about the second truck.
14/3Q Obforaysl
, PlaiiMtvfoUa. OP
The customer reported that shipping informa tion was not faxed from Aberdeen to Uniroyal on a 5305 railcar PLCX 43415. Arrangements were made to have fax instructions typed on the bill of lading so that this would not be forgotten again.
