How to address common manufacturing quality challenges on the factory floor
On the production floor, the key components to quality are:
- Understanding what process(es) affect quality assemblies
- Creating tests or processes to catch defects as early as possible
- Responding quickly to a spill or quarantine
- Avoiding defects, incorporating lessons learned into tests
Below are some insights on dealing with these common issues affecting quality on the production line:
Standardizing quality across plants
Case Study: See how one manufacturer moved beyond end-of-line testing to improve manufacturing quality across international plants. Read it here >
Reducing downtime due to spills, quarantines
Quality issues can halt production until the root cause is found and manufacturing can be confidently resumed. See how an OEM used their test data to reduce downtime >
Improve quality and line efficiency with part data
The root cause of a problem found at one station may actually be attributed to a previous step on the line. Learn how to use your part assembly data instead of just looking at problem stations to understand the cause of quality issues >
Cut warranty claims by improving critical-to-quality tests
Case Study: Sometimes a single station can cause – or solve – a quality problem. See how one OEM cut warranty claims with dramatic improvement to leak test. Read the case study >
Set more effective control limits on production tests
Optimizing limits eliminates false failures and reduces the risk of defects making it through. Learn how Sciemetric takes the guesswork out of limit-setting >
Integrating a test or monitoring system into an existing station
Adding intelligence to get the most out of an existing station can boost not only quality but also yield. Learn how Sciemetric makes this easy, without a rip-and-replace >
Using waveforms to cut the time it takes to diagnose quality problems
Finding the source of quality issues can take time. Read this whitepaper to see how digital signatures can significantly accelerate root cause identification >
Collect the right manufacturing data to improve part quality
There is so much data and it can be overwhelming. This article discusses what data will help drive quality >
