Fig 5. Rejection due to Sizing Plug Gauge<br />

2. Problem Analysis<br />

To identify the root cause <strong>of</strong> problem, following steps were performed.<br />

Step 1: Machine Checking and Analysis: Machine Operators were first checked for their skill level and health for<br />

both shift A and B. The results were OK. Then Machine input for air pressure and hydraulic pressure were<br />

checked and found OK. Finally component fixtures and machine table were checked and also found to be within<br />

required limits.<br />

Step 2: Plate Assembly and Limit Switch Bracket were checked. It was found that there was certain play in<br />

sizing plug holder during plate assembly while in case <strong>of</strong> limit switch assembly there was difficulty in setting it<br />

correctly.<br />

Problem Observed<br />

1. Play in sizing plug holder<br />

2. Gap in Plug & Plate<br />

3. Perpendicularity not OK<br />

Fig 6. Plate Assembly model showing the problems observed<br />

Fig 6 shows the plate assembly model along with the problems observed. Inspection <strong>of</strong> plate assembly and its<br />

parts helped in detection <strong>of</strong> errors causing rejection <strong>of</strong> conrods. Fig 7 shows the inspection process and errors<br />

encountered therein.<br />
