Gap Analysis and Optimization of Process Parameters in a Manufacturing Firm

Nowadays companies want quality products to satisfy customer expectations along with high profit rates. The proposed research considers a manufacturing firm which produces mates. The mates in the firm are categorized by color, material used and size of the pipes used in the mates. The production line struggles to meet the defects free production particularly to overcome the size variations, color uniformity and weight of the raw material consumed. The proposed research is focused to analyze the three main process parameters such as working temperature, pressure and cooling temperature. These process parameters are then optimized using design of experiments and best possible combination is recommended for future production. For each factor the experiment is replicated two times and is analyzed for two different material flow.
