    5. EFFECT OF REJECT ON PRODUCTIONTIME

    5.1 Introduction

    The effect of the rejects on the production time, are major, on the production

    time, which will increase in the time taken for the production of the automobile air ducts.

    Before considering the effects of rejection on production, time, the parameters

    causing the rejection should be very well known, to the individual. These parameters

    should be well characterized, and thus its effect on the production time can be predicted.

    After the characterizing, we found out that the parameters are of three types.

    1. Parameters, that causes defects, but cannot be controlled by taking theprecautions, but the severity of such failure can be reduced by taking the

    remedies.

    Example: Blow molding machine malfunction, & receiving of raw

    material, and failure of transport during dispatch of the finished Goods

    2. Parameters, that causes defects, but can be controlled by taking theprecautions, and the occurrence of such failure can be avoided by taking

    precautions

    Example: rejection due to wrong clamping

    If the above parameters are taken care of, the production time will increase that

    will increase the yield of the company, generating more revenues of the company.

    For, further examination of the effect of rejects on the production time a detailed

    fishbone is to be constructed, which will help us, to understand the failures that causes

    the rejection, Main causes that creates those failures, and the sub causes that are

    responsible for the main cause. The tabular for mat of the same is shown in Table 5.1.

    The fishbone of the problem will be constructed and then, studied in figure 5.1.,

    and the parameters will then be identified under the above category.

    Some, parameters are identified, and considered for the reducing the rejects, and

    increasing the time taken for the production. They are as follows.

    1. Raw material receiving & transportation of the finished goods to the customer.2. Blow Molding Machine functionality3. Reduction in the rejects due to wrong clamping

    The first two parameters are characterized in category one, while the third

    parameter is characterized in category two. The effect of category two on the process is

    much more severe than the category one, but the occurrence level is low, thus it results in

    moderated RPN. Similarly the category two has less severity, but its occurrence is high,

    so, RPN value will be moderate, but both these parameter has impact on the time for

    production, so cannot be neglected. After the FMEA implementation, its impact can be

    observed in the production time, by calculating the initial and final production time.

    5.2 Receiving raw material from the supplier and transporting

    of the finished goods to the customer

    5.2.1 Receiving raw material from the supplier

    The process of manufacturing of the air ducts starts from the receiving of raw

    material from the supplier to the transportation of the finished goods to the customer.

    The first and the last operation are major operations that should be taken care.

    Completing the whole operation of manufacturing and dispatch of the goods is not

    possible, if these two major operations are avoided.

    No manufacturing of any product can start if the raw material is not received on

    time. If inventory management, is not followed by any organization, the late receiving of

    the raw material will directly add in the idle time of the company, which will directly add

    in the losses of the company, and no operation can be started can be started without raw

    material receiving.

    In the FMEA, as the occurrence of this type of potential failure is less, also, the

    detection is easy, both the occurrence an detection are rated low. The severity of this

    kind of failure will be rated high, as it will have severe effect on the operation followed.

  • 7/31/2019 5 Effect of Rejects on the Time Taken for the Production of Air Ducts

    6/28

    5.6

    The RPN, i.e. the product of severity, occurrence and detection comes out to be low

    again, due to low ratings of occurrence and detection. But the severity in this operation

    is very high, which cannot be neglected due to adverse effects on other operations.

    The effect of the failure mode will be different at different levels of production.

    The next operation will be impossible to perform, at assembly the material will not

    available for the assembly, at customer level more time taken to fulfill the orders that

    will cause dissatisfaction, while the end customer will be dissatisfied.

    There are two potential causes to the failure due to material not received on time

    1. Transport malfunction2. Material not dispatched by the supplier on timeThe current process control or prevention method for the potential failure of raw

    material not received on time would be asking the delivery well before the time of its

    utilization; also proper intimation should be given to the supplier for delivering the raw

    material on time. This creates a chance that will avoid such a situation to rise.

    5.2.2 Transportation of the finished goods to the customerThe dispatching procedure, in which the finish goods are dispatched from the

    industry to the customer, should be taken particular care. There are many disadvantages

    if proper care is not taken; some of them are as follows

    a. The late dispatch will result into late delivery, which will result in an unhappyand dissatisfied customer.

    b.

    Industry will lose its reputation on its punctuality, in the market, and spoils itsmarket value.

    c. If the product gets spoiled during dispatching, then the market value of thecustomer will be spoiled, also, it will result in customer dissatisfaction.

    d. It can also affect further relationship with the customer company, due to latedelivery, or product getting spoiled during the process of dispatching.

    The reasons which can cause these types of disadvantages should be concerned

    about, and proper precautions should be taken to make sure that these types of

  • 7/31/2019 5 Effect of Rejects on the Time Taken for the Production of Air Ducts

    7/28

    5.7

    disadvantages do not occur. This has to be done as the severity of these disadvantages

    are very high and can create major problems to the company and its reputation in a long

    run.

    5.3 Blow Molding Machine functionality

    As blow molding is the main manufacturing process that is being considered inthe manufacturing of the air ducts. It is a process that is to be taken special care. If any

    one out of the five blow molding machine fails in the industry, it will cause 20 % loss to

    the total production and process, for the manufacturing of the Air Ducts. This will also

    contribute a huge amount in the down time and the total losses incurred to the company.

    To avoid this kind of failure or similar kind of failure to occur, the proper

    maintenance schedule as directed by the blow molding machine manufacturer, should be

    adopted and followed, for the proper functioning of the machine, also to avoid the

    unwanted situation such as total machine repair time, to occur.

    Though in FMEA, which we have done earlier, I have not considered a lot

    potential causes in the blow molding machine functionality, since the occurrence is less,

    bit the same cannot be neglected as the severity ratings are very high and cannot be

    ignored.

    The following the hydraulic circuit for the blow molding machine operation, the

    maintenance schedule chart will depend on this hydraulic circuit.

    When the solenoid 1 will be actuated, the first stage of the 4/2 DCV, will be

    actuated, in that case the pressure will be in line 1. The line 1 consist of 3/2 DCV which

    is roller actuated, and the closed position will be actuated, when the cylinder expands in

    the forward position till platens 2. When the solenoid 2 will be actuated, the second

    stage of the 4/2 DCV, will be actuated, in that case the pressure will be in line 2. The line

    2 does not contain any 3/2 DCV so the cylinder will directly be actuated and will move

    in the reverse direction.

    Custom Hydraulic Service

    5.3.1 Trouble shooting for the blow molding machines

    Dirty Oil

    1) Components not properly cleaned after servicing.

    2) Inadequate screening in fill pipe.

    3) Air breather left off. (No air breather provided or insufficient protection of air

    breather).

    4) Tank not properly sealed.

    5) Pipe lines not properly covered while servicing machine.

    6) Improper tank baffles not providing settling basin for heavy materials.

    7) filter dirty or ruptured.

    Fire resistant fluids

    1) Incorrect seals cause binding spools.

    2) Paint, varnish or enamel in contact with fluids can cause sludge deposits on

    filters and around seal areas.

  • 7/31/2019 5 Effect of Rejects on the Time Taken for the Production of Air Ducts

    12/28

    5.12

    3) Electrolytic action is possible with some metals. Usually, zinc or cadmium.

    4 ) Improve mixtures can cause heavy sludge formations.

    5) High temperatures adversely affect some of the fluids, particularly the water

    base fluids.

    6) Adequate identification of tanks containing these fluids should be provided so

    that they will be refilled with the proper media.

    7) As with mineral base oils, nuisance leaks should be remedied at once.

    8) Make certain replacement parts are compatible with fluid media.

    Foaming Oil

    1) Tank line not returned below fluid level.

    2) Broken pipe.

    3) Line left out between a bulkhead coupling and the bottom of the tank after

    cleaning.

    4) Inadequate baffles in reservoir.

    5) Fluid contaminated with incompatible foreign matter.

    6) Suction leak to pump aerating oil.

    7) Lack of anti-foaming additives.

    Moisture in Oils

    1) Cooling coils not below fluid levels.

    2) Cold water lines fastened directly against hot tank causing condensation

    within the tank.

    3) Soluble oil solution splashing into poorly sealed tanks or fill pipes left open.

    4) Moisture in cans used to replace fluid in tanks.

    5) Extreme temperature differential in certain geographical locations.

  • 7/31/2019 5 Effect of Rejects on the Time Taken for the Production of Air Ducts

    13/28

    5.13

    6) Drain not provided at lowest point in tank to remove water collected over

    possibly long operating periods.

    Overheating of System

    1) Relief valve set too close to compensator pressure setting.

    2) Water shut off or heat exchanger clogged.

    3) Continuous operation at relief setting.

    a. Stalling under load, etc.

    b. Fluid viscosity too high or too low.

    4) Excessive slippage or internal leakage.

    a. Check stall leakage part pump, motors and cylinders.

    b. Fluid viscosity too low.

    5) Reservoir sized too small.

    6) Case drain line from pressure compensated pump returning oil too close to

    suction line.

    a. Re-pipe case drain line to opposite side of reservoir baffling.

    7) Pipe, tube or hose I.D. too small causing high velocity.

    8) Valving too small, causing high velocity.

    9) Improper air circulation around reservoir.

    10) System relief valve set too high.

    11) Power unit operating in direct sunlight or ambient temperature is too high.

    Oil leakage around pump

    1) Shaft seal worn.

    2) Head of oil on suction pipe connection connection leaking

  • 7/31/2019 5 Effect of Rejects on the Time Taken for the Production of Air Ducts

    14/28

    5.14

    3) Pump housing bolts loose or improperly torque.

    4) Case drain line too small or restricted (shaft seal leaking).

    Excessive pump wear

    1) Abrasive dirt in the hydraulic oil being circulated through the system.

    2) Oil viscosity too low.

    3) System pressure exceeds pump rating.

    4) Pump misalignment or belt drive too tight.

    5) Air being drawn in through inlet of pump.

    Troubleshooting Solenoid Valves

    Solenoid failures

    1) Voltage too low. If voltage is not sufficient to complete the stroke of the

    solenoid, it will burn out the coil.

    2) Voltage too high. Excessive voltage can also burn out coils.

    3) Signal to both solenoids of a double solenoid valve simultaneously. One or

    both of the solenoids will be unable to complete their stroke and will burn out. (Make

    certain the electrical signal is interlocked so that this condition cannot exist).

    4) Mechanical damage to leads. (Short circuit, open connections, etc.)

    5) Tight spool or other mechanical parts of the valve being actuated can prevent

    the solenoid from completing its stroke and subsequently burning out.

    6) Replacement springs too heavy in valve. Overloads solenoid and shortens

    life.

    7) Dirty contacts may not supply sufficient current to solenoid to satisfy inrush

    demands.

    8) Low voltage direct current solenoids may be affected by low battery capacity

    on cold mornings directly after starting cold engine. (DC)

  • 7/31/2019 5 Effect of Rejects on the Time Taken for the Production of Air Ducts

    15/28

    5.15

    9) Long feed lines to low voltage solenoids may cause sufficient voltage drop

    to cause erratic operation.

    Solenoid valve fails to operate

    1) Is there an electrical signal to the solenoid or operating device? Is the

    voltage too low? (Check with voltmetertest light in emergency.)

    2) If the supply to the pilot body is orificed, is the orifice restricted? (Remove

    orifice and check for foreign matter. Flushing is sometimes necessary because of floating

    impediment.)

    3) Has foreign matter jammed the main spool?

    (Remove end caps and see that main spool is free in its movementremember

    that there will be a quantity of fluid escaping when the cap is removed and provide a

    container to catch it.)

    4) Is pilot pressure available? Is the pilot pressure adequate? (Check with

    gauge on main pressure input port for internally piloted types and in the supply line to

    the externally piloted type.)

    5) Is pilot drain restricted? (Remove pilot drain and let the fluid pour into an

    open container while the machine is again tried for normal operation. Small lines are

    often crushed by machine parts banging against them causing a subsequent restriction to

    fluid flow.)

    6) Is pilot tank port connected to main tank port where pressures are high enough

    to neutralize pilot input pressure? (Combine pilot drain and pilot tank port and check for

    operation with the combined flow draining into an open containerblock line to main

    tank from pilot valveif this corrects the situation, reroute pilot drain and tank line.)

    7) Are solenoids improperly interlocked so that a signal is provided to both

    units simultaneously? (Put test light on each solenoid lead in paral lel and watch for

    simultaneous lightingcheck electrical interlock. This condition probably burns out

    more solenoids than any other factor.)

  • 7/31/2019 5 Effect of Rejects on the Time Taken for the Production of Air Ducts

    16/28

    5.16

    8) Has mounting pad been warped from external heating? (Loosen mounting

    bolts slightly and see if valve functions. End caps can also be removed and check for

    tight spool.)

    9) Is fluid excessively hot? (Check for localized heating which may indicate an

    internal leakcheck reservoir temperature and see if it is within machine specifications.)

    10) Is there foreign matter in the fluid media causing gummy deposits? (Check

    for contaminationmake certain seals and plumbing are compatible with the type of

    fluid being used.)

    11) Is an adequate supply of fluid being delivered to actuate the load? (Many

    times there is sufficient pressure to shift the valve but not enough to actuate the work

    load. Check pump supply pressure and volume if necessaryphysical measurement of

    flow through relief valve with units blocked may be necessary.)

    12) Check circuit for possible interlocks on pressure sources to valve or to pilot.

    5.4 Rejects Due To Wrong Clamping

    For, constructing Fishbone, there should an identified problem, on which the

    work to reduce it has to be done. From the database, of previous FMEA, and also

    considering the accounts for the rejects, it has been found out that the maximum rejects

    were contributed by mainly one failure that is, Rejection due to wrong clamp fitting in

    the air duct. Even if the problem is minor in its size, but is major, when it comes to the

    rejection rate calculation.

    The main parameters that are contributing to this problem are people, material,

    equipment, method, and environment. There are different causes that are been identifiedwith the help of brain storming sessions that were held between the cross functional team

    that was formed for the FMEA implementation in the Delta Blow Packs. The following

    table 5.1 shows the main parameters and the causes that are contributing to these

    parameters, which in whole contributes to the main failure and cause the problem.

    be constructed. The skeleton of the fishbone, has different parts that are reserved for the

    different parameters that will lead to come across the cause of the failure. The mainspine of the fishbone should be used to show the main failure for which the fishbone is

    being constructed. Along the spine bone, of the fishbone, various other bones are

    connected, which will be drawn as the branches that will indicate the main parameters

    that are contributing to the fishbone. Some of them are people, material, equipment,

    method, and environment. The sub branches which are attached to branches that are

    drawn earlier will indicate the main causes that are being contributed to the failure to the

    medium of parameters.

    The Cause & Effect Analysis of the main failure, i.e. wrong clamp fitting, gives

    us the main parameters, causes, etc., of the failure, causing it to happen. After the Cause

    & Effect Analysis, it is necessary to perform the FMEA, to eradicate the problem.

    To start FMEA, the main requirement is the cross functional team, and some of

    the experts that are require, who are involved in the process, causing these failure. A

    sample sheet of FMEA in this process is prepares and is given in the Table 5.3.2

    Table 5.4.1.1 FMEA sample sheet

    The parameters which were defined in the Fishbone diagram, has been classified

    according to the department. The department classification of the parameters, makes it

    easy to identify, the cause that is related and plays an important role causing the problem,

    as the problem gets restricted to only one department.

    The failure mode for the particular department is identified, and the effect of that

    failure mode is decided, henceforth. The severity, occurrence and detection is rated by

    the brain storming sessions, and the RPN is calculated which is the product of Severity,

    Occurrence and Detection.

    In analysis, the acceptance or the rejection of the process is taken care off, in

    which the processes with more than 200 RPN is not acceptable and needs to be

    controlled. The control, action or the actions which are taken to reduce the failure are

    introduced and applied for the process with higher RPN only, i.e. about 200. A detailed

    FMEA is done and shown in Table 5.3.2

    = 26 minutes.... (i)

    1 product takes 26 minutes, so we have 2250 minutes, i.e. essential tomanufacture 86 products per day.

    5.5.1.2Calculation based on the capacity of the blow molding machines.One blow molding machine has the capacity of 0.75 tons

    Five blow molding machine has an overall capacity of 0.75 x 5 tons, i.e. 3.75

    tons

    3.75* 907 *1000 grams = 3401250 grams a day

    An assembled product weighs 600 grams, so considering 70% material losses,

    1700 products considering only the blow molding time, without considering assembly

    and with out the extra material removal time + clamp time.

    Ideally, one part should require 2 minutes for the blow molding (Considering

    the pauses taken for the die introduction and removal process), without considering

    assembly and with out the extra material removal time + clamp time.

    Considering an average time for the product removal from the Die + Extra

    material removal from the part produced + clamping time per part, which can be taken

    as 1 minute per operation.

    Total time taken per part = blow molding time per part

    + Time for the product removal from the Die

    + Extra material removal from the part produced

    + clamping time per part

    = 2 + 1 + 1 +1

    = 5 minutes

    For each product production, i.e. time for production of center duct

    + Left hand side duct,

    + Right hand side duct,

    + Assembly of these parts, requires,

    = 5 + 5 + 5 + 8

    = 23 minutes. (ii)

    Comparing the actual time and the ideal time there is a loss of 3 minutes per

    product produced.

    I have succeeded in lessening this gap of 3 minutes by 50 seconds, by different

    methods introduced which will be discussed later, in this chapter.

    By reducing 50 seconds now, my product will be ready in 25 minutes 10

    seconds,

    1 product will be produced in 25 minutes 10 seconds, so 2250 minutes will

    produce 90 final products, i.e. increment of 4 products per day.

    Increment of 4 product per day implies, in a month with 25 working days, will

    yield 100 products per month as an increment, which further implies, 1200 product a

    year increment.

    The savings of 50 seconds per product will yield approximately around 0.18

    million of rupees to the company annually.

    5.5.2 Points applied, for 50 seconds reduction in total time, for the completemanufacturing of the Air Duct.

    1. Implementing the FMEA has also helped in reducing the time, byreducing the potential failures.

    Reduction of rejects from in process inspection and finalinspection, results in to less re work, and time saving in achieving

    the targets.
