Abstract

Manufacturing of an automobile consists of production and assembly of various individual components related to both on the interior and exterior of a vehicle. All these components are spatially related to each other hence making it a very complex procedure. Sometimes a variance in this spatial relationship can have a direct effect on both the appearance as well as the performance of the vehicle. As industry produces several thousands of units a day, minor defects like gaps and flushness between parts are generally neglected as it is very costly and time consuming to rectify them. This paper demonstrates the variance in each of the unit that is produced by taking five samples of same car built by the same manufacturer. This spatial variance maybe avoided by employing procedures like PPAP and other tools.
