Achieving manufacture excellence through better quality and productivity is the objective lens of many industries in present. Every governance is trying hard in the process of customer retention (Voice of The Customer VOC and Critical To Quality CTQ) by controlling costs and obtaining high productivity. A voluminous and significant measure of research article were referred in which all the papers concentrated one and only on the final product with some investigation on dimensional accuracy, which includes — Cycle time reduction, degree of doubt and the proper placement of the knuckle part. CMM (Cast Component Machining) is used for uncovering the dimension during improper and proper casting. A case study of an automotive manufacturing company has been clearly stated by explaining the common failures occurring in the manufacturing of knuckle joints.
