Design of Experiments to Hard Turning: A Review
Abstract: Hard turning is the process of machining hardened steels that are above 45 HRC. In manufacturing, hard turning has emerged as a potential area over grinding as a finishing operation. In the present paper, a review is done on Design of Experiment (DOE) techniques that have been employed on various hard turning processes by researchers. DOE is one of the widely used methods for experimental study of many manufacturing processes …

Ensuring Holistic Customers’ Requirements using QFD In Accordance with D-M-A-I-C to Promote FTR Approach
Abstract: Ensuring the Quality to First Time Right (FTR) as professed by Philips Crosby is necessity of today’s rapidly growing manufacturing dependent society. But while maintaining the pace of manufacturing one should ensure the limits of undesired by-products [1] which adversely cause the environment to diminish. The conceptual phenomenon of FTR increases the boundaries of six sigma in order to claim the defects to the level of Zero from 3.4 PPM. …

Re-balancing of a Mixed Model, Two-sided, Paced, Manual Assembly Line using Modified Highest Candidate Algorithm
Abstract: Manual assembly line technology has made a significant contribution to the development of manufacturing industry in the twentieth century. A conventional assembly line consists of one sided single model and a straight line layout. However, a mixed model two sided paced assembly line is considered for re-balancing in this paper. To balance the load of an assembly line, a modified highest candidate algorithm is suggested. The objectives of this case …
