Quality of products is the utmost important aspect that needs significant
attention in order to fulfill customer’s requirements and satisfactions. Quality in
the automotive industry can be defined as accuracy percentage of a part
compared to the specifications that are fixed by the customer. Low accuracy
percentage can contribute to various kinds of negative impacts for example,
high rejection rate, increase warranty claim from customer, waste of time and
productivity, tarnish company’s image and reputation and eventually will affect
customer’s confidence. Therefore, preventive actions should be identified and
implemented to ensure the negative effects that were caused from low quality
parts would not happen. In this research, Process Failure Mode and Effect
Analysis (PFMEA) and Control Plan techniques will be used as preventive
tools to ensure products being produced will be of high quality and at the
same time, meet customer’s specifications and requirements. Integration of both techniques will be used as reference to determine the potential failure
modes, effects of failures to the process and recommended actions that need
to be taken to reduce and eliminate the effects of failures. Each process
involved in the manufacturing of products will be analysed by a specialist
group consisting of several departments in the organisation, such as
Engineering, Production and Product Development. Data analysis based on
parts’ coordinate in X, Y and Z positions will be performed to determine the
root caused of the failures. The data that has been analysed will be tabulated
in a table with information, including differences between data collected
compared to specifications and directions. Data in Prototype (P0 and P1)
stage will be used to prove the effectiveness of the implementation of PFMEA
and Control Plan techniques prior to and after both techniques have been
applied in the product development process for Front Fender Shield Assembly
Left Hand. The integration between PFMEA and Control Plan techniques and
minimum target of 85% of accuracy level has been successfully achieved. |
