As a result, the consumer goods and services business can achieve the clarity, consistency, and well-defined execution of core processes that reduce inefficiencies and waste that result from unnecessary process complexity and exceptions. In addition, the high performance capability assessment model helps the consumer goods and services business to identify specific areas in which improvements may be made and understand how to make the improvements, and establishes levels of capability along the way to reaching an ultimate capability goal.

Abstract: A solenoid valve comprising an electromagnetic coil (6) wound on the hub of a bobbin (5) of a plastic material, a metallic central core (10) disposed in the hub (7) of the bobbin, the core forming an axial conduit, and an armature (15) which can be displaced by electromagnetic forces axially towards an end of the said axial conduit in order to control the flow of gas in the said conduit. To this end a thread (11) is formed on the outer surface of the core to cooperate with the inner surface of the hub for the purpose of adjustment of the axial position of the core with respect to the armature.
