5. Conclusion
Analysis of the rejection problem of the connecting rod successfully led to the detection of the root causes of its
rejection. Since Honing process contributed approximately 55% rejection on an average, it was naturally chosen
to go through the Honing process in detail for identification of root causes. Collection of data during each step of
Honing process helped in identification and hence elimination of the root causes of rejection.
