Statistical Quality Control in the Gear Manufacturing Industry

Statistical quality control is process combines various techniques to control, monitor and improve the quality of products and services. An absolute essential for an industry, regardless of its size, to produce goods or services with inherent quality. Choosing the right statistical control process for the industry helps to identify the root cause of defects or deviation from process, control them which routes to high-quality products or services which in turn enhances the industry's image in the market and increase the cost-benefit. This study involves collection of data for selected assembly line factors from gear manufacturing industry, analyzing the data using quality control tools, and identifying the defects or process deviation.From the results obtained the potential regions were immediate attention is needed, where the process deviates from the specification limits are identified and highlighted for action to the industry. Based on the inferences obtained gear manufacturing industry would be suggested to apply the techniques to make appropriate changes in its lines to improve the quality of the spur gears manufactured. The implementation depends on the company, whether to apply or not.
