Abstract:
The current case study is carried out at Tyre manufacturing plant by a Quality Circle (QC) team. The main focus of the work is to reduce the waste in Extruder Department. The QC team identified 52 problems after multiple brainstorming sessions. The various quality circle techniques like ABC analysis and 3P analysis are used to finalize the problem statement. The selected problem is part poly roll generation at 8x6” CFE due to difficulty in fitting parallel poly roll to first poly roll. The QC tools like Root Cause analysis, 4 W & 1 H analysis, Cause and Effect Diagram and Why-Why analysis are used to find the root causes and solution. After implementation of proposed solution the part roll generation is reduced from 15 to 0, part roll scrap is reduced from 9 to 0 and cost benefit of Rs. 3, 08,460 per year is achieved.
