This delays the launch of the product. Thus, present study analyses relative gap between the neighbouring or adjacent trims section to find the causes for defects like increased gap between adjacent trims and process variation causing it and provide an understanding of the assembly variations to operators and engineers. Using a Six Sigma: define, measure, analyse, improve and control (DMAIC) methodology, gap between the trims is analysed, and significant error contributors were identified. After that Monte Carlo simulation is performed. Based on simulation results, major contributors affecting the variations were identified. Further influence of each error contributor was reduced to increase the process capability (Cp). Improvement of about 46.5% is observed in critical trim sections during the development phase of a new vehicle. This eliminated the need for further processing and reworking, which is the reason for the delay in the launch date and provides an understanding about the sections more prone to dimensional variations.","PeriodicalId":35430,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Six Sigma and Competitive Advantage","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135158236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"PMDECS approach of Red Bin Analysis the art of problem solving in manufacturing industry","authors":"Kalluri Vinayak, Jaskiran Arora, Sumit Shandilya","doi":"10.1504/ijssca.2022.10047023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1504/ijssca.2022.10047023","url":null,"abstract":"The problem solving, especially in the manufacturing sector has a very diverse and rich background. Be it the Ford era or the Bell's lab where Dr. Shewart developed the Statistical Process Control (SPC) or the epic 1950 research by NASA for development of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (PFMEA), the problem-solving approach has taken leaps and have stretched to become an essential function and role of any successful manufacturing industry. Today, the survival of any corporate entity would be difficult and would be full of Risk, if, the problem solving is not an integral part of their ecosystem. In the manufacturing industry, problem-solving was used to be done as soon as an abnormality/failure/defect has been found or introduced. The team used to do the root cause analysis using why-why analysis, fish-bone methodology or 8D problem-solving approach etc. Such methodologies are very strong and still are used very efficiently. If the scale of the problem is very large or it is chronic problem, then strategies like Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, Lean Manufacturing or Total Productive Maintenance are also used. Now through Kaizens, Poka-Yoke and other approaches, problem-solving have seen a phase shift from reactive to a preventive one. The problem is now being prevented even before the occurrence. The concern and a question over these strategies and methodologies are that these are meant to be for everyone and here, everyone means every type of industry irrespective of their market and size. They can be large, medium, small or even micro-enterprise. Large enterprises can afford to do all the quality training, up-gradation and they can also spend on automation. Even medium enterprises can also bear those expenses for a while but what about those small and micro-enterprises. Most of the supply-chain of OEM manufacturing industries are medium, small and microenterprises. Largely the quality of the final product is also the responsibility of the supply chain. How these enterprises will be able to cater to such increasing quality needs and dimension? How will they be able to become a problemsolving enterprise without investing much on this front? The answer to this is the \"Red-Bin Analysis\". It is a different problem-solving methodology based on quality control circle method focusing on the problem occurrence, detection and solving at the source of generation. This method highlights and explains the problem selection and its solution which is very efficient in case of problem-solving of sub-assemblies or sub-components at the supply chain tier-1, tier-2 or tier-3 level.","PeriodicalId":35430,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Six Sigma and Competitive Advantage","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77875050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
