Quality Management of the Integrated Facultative Pond System

The focus of this research paper is to help agriculture operators implement manure treatment process in an effort to comply with increasingly prescriptive local and federal regulations. The objective was to create a system that would provide a treatment process that is cost effective, efficient and easily implemented in both small and large farms. In the process of designing this system, it was developed, verified and validated in order to ensure quality by the use of control charts followed by process capability measurements. The control chart depicts the performance of the IFP system. It helps in predicting the cost and environmental process. The control charts can depict the stability of the system. If the process is statistically stable then the variability of the process becomes predictable. The performance of the system in the future can be predicted if the process is in control. The authors result indicates that the system was statistically stable and the operators could manage the quality of the system by sampling the data.
