Unidirectional Flow Gasket

Abstract

To reduce the number of deviations that occur annually in the plant, through a design, it is expected to reduce this problem taking into consideration the cost factor, lead time and the quality of the products made. Using Lean Six Sigma, applying the DMADV methodology as a guide to define the problem, measure the parameters of the scope of work, analyze the current problem, design the part that will improve the process to be achieved, and finally validate that in effect it meets the objective of the research, to reduce the number of deviations. During the research, a reduction of 54% was observed, having a profit of $218,750, decreasing the original value of deviations occurred. It is worth mentioning that through this research, researcher saw improvements in the lead time process, cost, and even process quality. Key Terms⎯ Buffer Tank, DMADV, Improve Lead time, Lean Six Sigma.
