In Cutting Tool Industries, the grinding process for producing cutting tools creates carbide sludge which is a combination of carbide waste from the product material and coolant from the grinding machine. Since carbide sludge will be filtered in the filter machine, a monthly maintenance is necessary for the filter machine which includes transferrin...

... So, they use the large-scale system integration thinking, that is, establish the management system based on PDCA, classify the links and elements of the organization according to the four sections of PDCA from the whole, large-scale system perspective, and then analyze and distinguish the elements to request and edit documents. Shahar and Salleh [36] used the methodology of PDCA, observation, conceptual generation through PUGH method, and design software (CATIA) to analyze the grinding process for producing cutting tools. The aim of this research was to develop a carbide sludge remover machine that fits perfectly into ABC Cutting Tool Industries production line. ...

Defects are considered one of the wastes in manufacturing systems that negatively 21 affect the delivery times, cost and quality of products leading to manufacturing companies facing a 22 critical situation with the customers and to not comply with the IPC-A-610E standard for the 23 acceptability of electronic components. This is the case is a manufacturing company located in 24 Tijuana, Mexico. Due to an increasing demand on the products manufactured by this company, 25 several defects have been detected in the welding process of electronic boards, as well as in the 26 components named Thru-Holes. It is for this reason that this paper presents a lean manufacturing 27 application case study. The objective of this research is to reduce at least 20% the defects generated 28 during the welding process. In addition, it is intended to increase 20% the capacity of 3 double 29 production lines where electronic boards are processed. As method, the PDCA cycle, is applied. The 30 Pareto charts and the flowchart are used as support tools. As results, defects decreased 65%, 79% and 31 77% in three analyzed product models. As conclusion, the PDCA cycle, the Pareto charts, and the 32 flowchart are excellent quality tools that help decrease the number of defective components. 33
