Various defects found during manufacturing of PC meter box cover. Different defects are silver mark, short, flash, brittleness, voids and discolouration. These defects leads to quality problems. The main objective of this study to find major problems and also find out remedies by which these ...
Root cause analysis is recognized as a critical component in both thelean manufacturing methodologyand Six Sigma. It optimizes the time required to drill down to the cause of a problem and provides a structure for problem-solving within manufacturing. Benefits of root cause analysis include: Cost ...
RCA methods and tools are not limited to manufacturing process problems only. Many industries are applying RCA methodology in various situations and are using this structured approach to problem solving. Some examples of where RCA is being used include, but are not limited to: ●Office Processes a...
The 5 Whys technique for root cause analysis and problem solving was developed by Sakichi Toyoda. It is at the heart of the Toyota Motor Company’s lean manufacturing processes. Simply put, the process involves asking ‘why’ over and over again until you’ve reached the root cause of a ...
We describe an Early Warning System (EWS) which enables the root cause analysis for initiating quality improvements in the manufacturing shop floor and process engineering departments, at product OEMs as well as their tiered suppliers. The EWS combines the use of custom designed domain ontology of...
When you have production problems in your manufacturing process, it's essential to find and solve those concerns before they impact your company on a huge scale. When such issues arise, many companies turn to root cause analysis (RCA) to help implement a solution....
Root cause analysis is used by a wide range of industries and in a variety of situations, making it a highly valuable tool that's flexible enough to accommodate specific circumstances. The following are examples of RCA in action, but the possibilities for its use are nearly limitless. ...
Root cause analysis (RCA) in manufacturingrequires that you use your experience to determine what could have caused the defect or problem and be sure to list all probable causes from highest to lowest probability. Be careful not to jump to conclusions about the root cause without thinking about...
The adoption of this tool in printed circuit assembly companies can support the solution of real quality problems and consequently, help to optimise manufacturing systems in the domain. 展开 关键词: Practical, Theoretical or Mathematical/ cause-effect analysis design for quality electronics industry ...
We find that return merchandise authorizations (RMAs) are a powerful statement of a customer’s level of dissatisfaction. RMAs can offer evidence if a manufacturing process fell short of its goal, there was a lack of communication throughout processes, or even misdiagnosed a problem. In any cas...
