PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT ON BORE GRINDING MACHINE BY USING SIX SIGMA

Abstract

The main reason for such performance is the philosophy of six sigma, which are very much incorporated in the roots and culture of bearing manufacturing. From the customer’s view point, Six Sigma translates to higher quality products and services, delivered on time, at the lowest possible cost. In this sense, Six Sigma represents a tremendous value proposition. Through Six Sigma, a customer is better able to access the products and services they need, when they are needed, enjoy a significantly higher level of product and service utility, and pay less to receive such benefits. A Project named as “Productivity improvement on bore grinding machine by using six sigma” at TRB (Taper Roller Bearing) manufacturing company. Purpose of this work was to reduce the scrap percentage at Bore Grinding Machine by using DMAIC methodology and optimizing the parameters of the bore grinding machine to reduce the scrap generation, cycle time and standard deviation which will automatically results in improved productivity of machine.
