Implementation of DMAIC six sigma principle in thermoforming for improving rate of production

Fast processing of plastics for producing disposables is dependent on production rate of a manufacturing process and therefore thermoforming is generally preferred. The technological developments in thermoforming technique have led enhanced control of the process which makes easier to carry out research studies on a thermoforming machine. For achieving a high production rate and high rated quality product, the cyclic control of thermoforming machine must be concrete in order to meet desired standards which further introduce a challenge for researchers. The current endeavor focuses on reducing number of defective pieces which are produced due to miscellaneous reasons in a thermoforming set up. The quality related problems for manufacturing disposable plastic glasses are understood in terms of production quality variables and latter are sorted out by using DMAIC principle of six sigma by performing a series of experiments on the thermoforming set-up.
