Ed,

"I doubt that a specialized engineering resource, as you put it, is needed. The recovery process is not going to be as complicated as Richard and Zeev have apparently convinced you that it will be."

The company has indicated that the recovery process is sufficiently complicated so as to cause quality issues with the product being shipped to Sabin when the production process is not followed.
Production engineering could be one man, but must remain onsite where the production problems will arise. I presume that Mike and Russell have other duties which will prevent them from fulfilling the obligations of a fulltime production engineer. It seems to me that if you have Russell serving in the development engineering role, and Mike not onsite fulltime, then someone else needs to take ownership of verifying product quality. If Russell does both production and development work, then each will suffer from time constraints.

The production engineer would also be responsible for the implementation of process improvements that come from Russell's development lab.

If we are going to grow this puppy, then lets grow this puppy the right way!!

What happens when we go to 100, 200, 400 tons-per-day??

Will we need the services of a fulltime production engineer then?

And if then...then why not now...or soon??

Tony
