Implementation of continuous improvement process in injection moulding industry

They presented that the real case study application of the methodology in area manufacturing of ANSALDO STS S.p.A. The case study discussed here shows the application of basic principles, management tools and techniques towards performance improvement in a manufacturing plant. The innovative issues of the MAAR (Monitor, Analysis, Action and Review) approach developed regard: the possibility to apply the methodology to wide fields of enterprises (as maintenance, quality management, design, financial, etc.) and the real-manufacturing orientation. The results show the real benefits obtained by the implementation of the proposed methodology. They examines the need for continuous quality improvement in higher education; the role of academic statisticians in changes in higher education; some of the strategies and techniques colleges and universities are employing related to TQM at college and department levels; what individual instructors can do in terms of making improvements in higher education; and the role and importance of a personal quality vision in such an overall effort for organizational change. They presented that how to utilize continuous quality improvement tools in product design and manufacturing. They address the application of QFD and design of experiment to optimize product/process design and how to integrate quality tools. Based on the philosophy of concurrent quality engineering and successful experience of some world class businesses, their paper presents a continuous quality improvement flowchart and puts forward to the strategies to implement continuous quality improvement. it would lead to minimization of rejection and thus achieve competitive advantages through operational benefits. Also above study indicates that competitive priorities of companies are focused on improving products by making fundamental changes in the way of manufacturing. The findings of this research work can be applied in order to successful implementation of the continuous improvement practices in the discrete industry. It can be concluded that very less effort have been made to study the implementation of continuous improvement practices in Indian industries. -5) The Plan step provided in this study can be used to solve the problems associated with the four main defects only. Therefore, after the company solves the four main types of defects, the remaining types of defects should be solved to minimize the percentage of defects by implementing the PDSA cycle again. 6) The last section of the continuous improvement plan should involve reviewing the actions or processes annually or every six months and replacing them with better solutions.
