Implementation of Statistical Process Controls in the manufacture of magnet wire

Abstract

Continuous improvements in quality and productivity are necessary to remain competitive in the magnet wire industry. The quality standards for suppliers of magnet wire have steadily increased as customers recognize that quality products must begin with quality raw materials. To achieve this end, AnaMag uses Statistical Process Control (S.P.C.) to identify, analyze, and control the variations in the process that affect quality. With the use of statistical methods, we are better able to provide products that meet our customers expectations. S.P.C. as a tool to prevent defects, has the additional benefit of lowering the cost of quality by reducing the amount of sorting, rework and scrap of non-conforming magnet wire.
