Scrap Reduction on Anodize Area Treatment

Abstract

MD Company encounters significant challenges within its anodizing process, characterized by pronounced waste generation. Proposing an integrated approach merging Lean manufacturing principles with DMAIC methodology to mitigate this issue. Over a span of 110 days, the research extensively addresses waste reduction and enhancements in operational efficiency, employing methodologies such as Pareto analysis and the 5 Whys technique. Literature review underscores the criticality of efficient processes and the indispensability of Lean Six Sigma tools. The implementation of DMAIC serves to meticulously identify, analyze, improve, and control the problem. Noteworthy findings culminate in a remarkable 25% reduction in waste, underpinning MD Company's unwavering commitment to sustained operational excellence. This achievement further cements MD Company's position as a pioneering force within the industry, exemplifying its dedication to pioneering and perpetuating innovative manufacturing practices.
