Paul J. Frost specializes in roll goods "continuous process"
products and processes with the objective of increasing bottom line profitability
by significantly reducing scrap, improving quality and minimizing product
and process variability.
He has taught these techniques throughout the United States, Europe, Australia and the Caribbean to companies producing an array of substrates such as papers, plastics and nonwovens and to converters manufacturing coated, printed, laminated and spun bond products. He has spoken at a number of professional conferences and is a member of the Teltech Resource Network, ASQ & TAPPI.
He graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and later received an MBA from the University of Hartford.
Prior to forming PJ Associates, he spent 19 years with the Polaroid Corporation in a variety of material and quality management positions. He authored both the Film Division Vendor Relations Manual and the 100% Fit-For-Use Vendor Handbook. He had direct engineering responsibility for more than 80 companies producing more than 1,000 raw materials.

Edgar B. Gutoff is a leading consultant in the coating and drying of continuous webs, coating die design, physical defect elimination and DOE. He received the John A. Talmidge Award in 1994 for his contributions to coating technology from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He has also received a Fellowship Award for significant contributions to the progress of science and technology from the Society for Imaging Science and Technology.
He is the author of over 30 papers and patents and co-authored the books "Modern Coating And Drying", "Coating and Drying Defects" and "The Application of SPC to Roll Products".
He is a Lecturer, Adjunct Professor and Visiting Research Professor in Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University and has taught graduate courses in SPC, fluid mechanics, chemical engineering, math, thermodynamics and separation processes.
Ed has a B.Ch.E. from CCNY and a S.M. and Sc.D. in Chemical Engineering from MIT. He is a licensed Professional Engineer. Ed worked for the Polaroid Corp. for 28 years in the R&D and Negative Coating Development areas. He is a member of AIChE, ACS and IS&T.
Dr. Schatzoff is a statistical consultant specializing in reliability, quality control, process control and design of experiments. He retired from IBM in 1992 after a 36 year career in research and development. He managed the first commercial reliability analysis group at IBM, as well as an operations research group that did pioneering work in computer system performance modeling and measurement.
During his last nine years in IBM, he developed the reliability, quality control, design of experiments and regression modules in "A Graphical Statistical System(AGSS)", which is used extensively throughout IBM and is sold commercially throughout the world.
Dr. Schatzoff has a Ph.D. in Statistics from Harvard University, ia a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and a member of IEEE and ASQC. He has held visiting professorships in statistics at Harvard, Yale and MIT, teaching courses in multivariate analysis, reliability and quality control. He has published over 40 papers, book chapters and research reports. In 1988, he received an IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Award.
Dr. Schatzoff also teaches Advanced Roll Product Statistical Process Control and has developed PC compatible software "SPC On A Roll" for this application.
