Total Cleanliness Management
A Program for Process Improvement

The Goals of Total Cleanliness Management

Automotive, industrial, and aerospace manufacturers areunder constant pressure to reduce costs and improve
operations and profits. To accomplish this, manufacturers
must regularly seek new ways to improve efficiency, while
continuing to deliver high–quality products at profitableprices.

Maintaining specified levels of fluid and component cleanliness is at the heart of the Total Cleanliness Management
program. Fluid and component cleanliness can have amajor effect on the reliability of the components and systems involved, ultimately impacting the overall efficiency ofthe operation. To this end, Pall has developed a comprehensive program that applies our expertise in cleanliness
management and provides true value to our customers.

Pall can play a key role in this continuous improvement
process. The Total Cleanliness Management (TCM) program is designed to offer our customers products andservices that optimize productivity, reliability, quality, safety,and environmental protection, while reducing overall operating costs.
Pall has more than 60 years of industry and application
experience to identify process inefficiencies and provide
solutions that directly address them. Our strength comesfrom our ability to design, manufacture, install, and service integrated systems that can improve efficiency bytreating incoming, process, and waste streams.
Through TCM, Pall can help you improve your processes
and gain a stronger competitive edge.

Pall’s Total Cleanliness Management program offers:• Improved profitability of customer processes• Enhanced product quality• Improved cleanliness and service life of fluids• Effective identification of problems and solutions• Reduced downtime through improved equipment
reliability• Environmental protection through reduction of waste• Education in cleanliness and filtration techniques• Effective supply chain management• Reduced total cost of filtration through process

A Modular Program Designed to Meet Our
Customers’ Requirements
Work with Pall to select the best module or modules to meet your specific needs.

MODULE 1: Evaluation and Assessment
The first step in the Total Cleanliness Management program isa thorough evaluation and assessment of the target processes.
This provides a benchmark to begin the program.

MODULE 2: Component CleanlinessIn relation to the cleanliness of produced and bought in parts, Pallcan provide Audits, Consultancy, Training, and a range of CleanlinessMeasurement Equipment.

MODULE 3: Service
Pall offers a variety of standard services and customized services toenhance equipment reliability and improve process performance.
Contact a Pall representative for a complete list of service offerings.

MODULE 4: Training/Seminars
Regular training of personnel is critical for efficient operation,profitability, and regulatory compliance. Training is conveniently
offered on-site or at one of Pall’s specialized training facilities.

MODULE 5: Solution Implementation
Filtration solutions and process optimization is at the core of theTotal Cleanliness Management program. Our experts understand fluids
and processes and the critical role they play in operations. They aretrained to uncover inefficiencies and recommend cost-effective solutions.

MODULE 6: Integrated Supply
Pall has developed an advanced integrated supply program which
provides cost benefits through optimization of logistics and purchasingof filter materials. Our partnerships within the filtration industry makethis possible, allowing us to supply 100% of our customers’ filtrationand separation needs.

MODULE 1: Evaluation and Assessment
This critical first step includes:• Complete fluid analysis• Equipment survey• Review of current cleanliness standards• Documentation of existing filtration practices• Costs and replacement frequency of thefiltration elements and other related equipment

MODULE 6: Integrated Supply

Following evaluation, Pall will provide a list of recommendations that can be implemented under the Total Cleanliness
Management program. These recommendations become
the basis of the overall program, which typically includes:• Establishing/improving cleanliness standards• Reduced spending on filter buys
• Fewer part numbers to manage throughstandardization of products• Fewer stock items and smaller stock
volumes• Single contact/partner for all filtrationneeds• Easier purchasing process• Improved inventory management• Product rationalization• Monitoring and measurement protocols• Projected cost savings
