A manufacturing shop floor problem
Abstract
Quality Control (QC) are scientific management tools, which are uncomplicated used and easy to understand. It forms the fundamental foundation for all problem solving and quality control activities. The most important of this study is to identify the problem in detail and classify root cause that most effect in manufacturing shop floor. Based on the problem study had design and develops a workable solution with implement the specific suggestion to solve the problem at production line. Asian Composites Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd is
specializing in manufacturing advanced composite component for aerospace application. As
a manufacturing industry have a problem occur that related with products manufacture
especially in trimming process by Waterjet machine. The defect occur included
delamination and void, fiber breakout or exposed damaged, periphery undersize/oversize,
drill holes oversize, Surface roughness, wrong Waterjet program was used, drilled holed
shifted , and excess (wrong/undersize/oversize). Based on problem faces this studies have
focus on defect of periphery undersize, periphery oversize, delamination and voids to
achieve the objective of study. QC Tools were used such as ishikawa diagram, pareto chart,
histogram, bar chart and others to identify the root causes and monitoring result after
implementation of Preventive Maintenance (PM), Corrective Maintenance (CM) and Total
Preventive Maintenance (TPM) as a solution. From these studies has to allow more focus
on problem statement study, interpreting the results, develop the specific solution to solve
the problem and implement action plans for the improvement of quality. At the end of
project, part trim defect at Waterjet machine have been reduced.
