Number of Faults in Production of Piston Rings of Electrical Machines

Amit Bhumarker, Abhishek Singh

Abstract


Piston rings from A Perfect Circle Company (Anand Group) are a major supplier to the original equipment makers and replacement markets in both India and abroad. The company has changed its business strategy to provide high-quality goods at lower costs and shorter wait times due to factors like production flaws, competitive buyer demand, and customer-demanded price reductions. The main goal of using quality control techniques is to lower the rate of defective piston rings throughout all manufacturing processes while increasing productivity. Recently, QC tools were used to investigate the production process and equipment utilisation. Monitoring and data collection calculations were made based on the gathered data, and analysis was performed to identify the major factors causing a decline in productivity. An in-depth analysis resulted in a fishbone diagram identifying the many elements impacting the key quality characteristic for another operation. The ongoing industrial losses at every step have been examined in a study on the production process that has been released. Perfect Circles India Limited (Anand Group) has performed comprehensive work in Nashik, Maharashtra, India.
