Problem definition

• Camshaft binding is between camshaft and the engine block, it is occurring at the 2nd stage of engine assembly when camshaft is fitted into the engine block.

Before After

Components are touching & hitting on conveyor

No touching and hitting between components on conveyor

No -OPL

a) Awareness on handling imparted to the associates – OPL displayed at final stage for handling the camshafts

4. IMPROVEMENT PHASE

Page 42: six sigma DMAIC approach for reducing quality defects of camshaft binding problem in engine assembly line

42

Improvement:

Camshaft fed with 2 layers and had metal contact

dedicated tray for camshaft

handling

Provision of brass material to avoid steel

metal contact with component

Before After

b) Handling of finished camshaft with modified trays to washing

Page 43: six sigma DMAIC approach for reducing quality defects of camshaft binding problem in engine assembly line

Provision of plastic sleeve to avoid metal contact

Metal contact between rack and component

Before After

c) Handling of finished camshaft in modified storing racks

Improvement:

Actual Suggested Action

Components are touching & hitting on conveyor

No touching and hitting between components on conveyor

d) Handling of Finish camshaft with modifying transfer hook in machine shop.

Page 45: six sigma DMAIC approach for reducing quality defects of camshaft binding problem in engine assembly line

45

Actual Suggested Action

45°

Inserting horizontal to the axis Inserting 45° angle to avoid damages on journals & easy assembly

e) By improving insertion method of camshaft in assembly, by tilting the crank case by 45°

Identified weak factors and suggested improve methods

Serial No.

Weak Factors Improvement Method

1. No Fixed men Fixed men system

2. No regular employer – employee meeting not

conducted

Regular meeting will convey the company objective clearly

3. Employee skills at assembly Regular training can be given

4. set of instruction for fitment of camshaft are not displayed

Display the set of instruction during fitment of camshaft
