In the last years and also due to today's economic situation and crises in the world, each organization is looking for a continuous improvement of processes and business performance. The major task of each production organization or services is the saving of money, which is lost because of scrap, long cycle times, wrong process maps and inventory differences. The goal of this article is to describe the implementation of Six Sigma in a production organization focusing on the production of interior parts for the automotive industry. During the summer time, there was delamination between thermoplastic foil and plastic substrate, which caused increasing of scrap, additional substandard works as well as the risk of quality complaints from customer. Six Sigma and DMAIC cycle were used to find root causes and to implement permanent corrective actions to remove this kind of problem from production.
Risk is virtually present everywhere around us. Nowadays, there is an increasing focus on safety at work; therefore, the organizations that want to be successful in the market try to eliminate risk factors to a minimum to avoid or prevent the health hazard of employees, damages to property or the environment. The work is focused on the risk assessment of a selected device, which is the most risky workplace according to the organization where the research was conducted. In the practical part, we became familiar with the equipment for welding and a thorough analysis of the current state of safety by a complex method was done. Consequently, corrective actions to reduce risk to an acceptable level were proposed. After that, we reassessed the risks of complex method, and the point method was used to verify the effectiveness of proposed remedial measures.
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) was performed in RIBE Slovakia, k.s. (limited partnership) in Nitra, Slovakia. Analysis was done in the process of cold forming where potential errors (failures) were identified. Subsequently, there was assigned a mark in the FMEA form expressing severity, frequency and undetectability, and a risk priority number (RPN) was calculated. If the risk priority number (RPN) is too high, corrective measures are proposed and adopted in order for the risk to be minimized or completely eliminated.
The aim of this article is the introduction of statistical control in the manufacturing process of Ribe Slovakia, k.s. (limited partnership) in Nitra, Slovak Republic, which consists of determining the capability of production equipment. The chosen production equipment is a multistage forming press SACMA SP 260, which was used in the process of cold forming when manufacturing screws of type WZ 13 340 intended for engine blocks. Determining the capability of production equipment involves removing 50 consecutive products, identification and evaluation of stability (construction of card and card), determination of normality (construction of frequency distribution series, histogram and cumulative relative frequency curve), and calculation of capability indices of production equipment Cmand Cmk.
This research deals with the corrosion stability of components with a galvanized surface. The aim is to determine how corrosion resistance is influenced by chemical degreasing. The ZiNi galvanizing method in a bath line was performed on 10 components; another 10 pieces were treated by the same galvanizing method, but without previous chemical degreasing. After measuring the thickness of coating, components were inserted into a salt spray corrosion chamber. The test showed that components with a complete galvanizing process revealed no signs of red corrosion after 456 test hours. In components without chemical degreasing, there were signs of red corrosion after 200 test hours. After this research, we can conclude that chemical degreasing in galvanizing processes has a high influence on corrosion resistance.
