Abstract

The primary purpose of this chapter is to identify the factors in the process for performance rework that are causing the most cost to a local manufacturing company to reduce the cost and improve the process. The data comes directly from the facility as historical data from the year 2016. The authors also collected data on low band and high band noise defects. The first method is the value stream map, current state map, and future state map. The second method is to measure noise levels of the bearings using the Anderon meter and Waveometer. The third method is to construct control charts using Minitab software. The findings demonstrated that bearings that fail due to low band noise produce a low final yield after being reworked. On the other hand, bearings that fail due to high band noise had a much higher final yield after being reworked.
