  Author(s): Amit Bhumarker* and Vijay Shankul
  
  A perfect circle company (Anand group) is a significant supplier of piston rings to both Indian and international original equipment manufacturers and replacement markets. Factors including production flaws, competitive consumer demand and customer demanded price reductions have pushed the company to change its business strategy to provide high-quality goods at lower costs and shorter lead times. Through quality control techniques, the primary objective is to reduce the defect rate for a piston ring throughout all production processes while enhancing productivity. Recently, investigations into the production process and equipment usage were conducted using QC tools. Based on the collected data, monitoring and data collection calculations were made and analysis was done to determine the key elements contributing to a productivity reduction. An in-depth analysis resulted in a fishbone d.. View More»
