Manufacturing of non-threaded fasteners: an analysis of non-conformities during manufacturing process and abatement

Abstract

This article projects the systematic approach for reducing the rejection during manufacturing of non-threaded fasteners i.e., Dowel Pin by Basic Quality tools. It includes the systematic study of the manufacturing process of non-threaded fastener and its inspection at different stages of manufacturing. The analysis of Dowel Pin’s manufacturing process has been taken place at industry A and modification in the process, drawing and work holding device of the Machine Tool have been done. After implementation of the modifications in the manufacturing process, the desired results have been achieved. The improvement has been visualized in the results.
