Abstract
In global competitive atmosphere, foundry industries are needed to perform efficiently with minimum percentage of rejections there by reducing cost of manufacturing. Foundries are using state of art processes with the involvement of experienced and knowledgeable people but the experience and knowledge needs to be transformed for the growth of the industries. Some foundries are working in a trial and error mode and get their work done. Many foundries have very less control on the rejections since they are in critical need of meeting production targets and they ignore the rejections and recover the castings. They need to have an efficient quality control aspiring for defects free castings with minimum production cost. Strategic decision makers need extensive models to guide them for efficient decision making that increases their profitability of the entire chain. The noval idea of this research is to investigate the various defects of cast iron foundry and suggest remedies for the defects in a day to day activity and propose a supply chain model to present the necessity of quality in a medium scale industry of cast iron foundry under different delay conditions, rejection rates and also various other factors. The results of the proposed model have been discussed and confirmed based on the original results of an industry. This research is also inspects the relationship between supply chain processes and quality as a key role in supply chain management.
