Because of this meter box cover manufacturing industries facing greater competition in the market. PC meter box cover is manufactured by injection moulding process. Various defects found during manufacturing of PC meter box cover. Different defects are silver mark, short, flash, brittleness, voids ...
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 (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 ...
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: ...
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...
The5 Whystechnique forroot cause analysisandproblem solvingwas developed by Sakichi Toyoda. It is at the heart of the Toyota Motor Company’slean manufacturing processes. Simply put, the process involves asking ‘why’ over and over again until you’ve reached theroot cause of a problem. The go...
While TQM has since branched off in various directions, the root causeanalysisremains a vital component of itscontinuous improvementphilosophy. Today, root cause analyses have broad applications and are used extensively in manufacturing, telecommunications, industrial process control, and IT. ...
Root cause analysis describes the underlying cause of every problem. For instance, if a machine breaks down in the production line, it is easy for the operator to fix and continue production quickly. However, informing the technician as soon as possible would be the appropriate step for optimum...
The Root Cause Analysis is applied in many areas. Below are some examples where an RCA can make a difference. Production When an industrial machine breaks down, an RCA can determine the cause of the defect. If it turns out that a fuse has blown, the fuse can be replaced and the machine...
