All 2 Documented Cases
High Scrap Levels from Inadequate Scrap Analysis and Compound Adjustment
25% reduction in scrap achieved, implying prior losses equivalent to 25% of material costs (exact $ not specified but substantial per case study)Rubber manufacturing companies experience elevated scrap rates due to inefficient scrap analysis and suboptimal compound formulations, leading to substantial material waste and failure to meet production targets. This recurring issue inflates operational costs as defective products require rework or disposal. Kaizen implementation revealed and addressed these systemic waste sources through process analysis and operator training.
Defective Rubber Products from Poor Scrap Analysis and Adjustment Processes
Defect rate reduced from 11.7% to 7.6%, equating to 35% drop in defect-related costsDefects in rubber products arise from ineffective scrap analysis and compound adjustments, particularly in auto-deflashing and other finishing processes, resulting in high rework rates. Analysis using Ishikawa diagrams and FMEA identified multiple failure modes across 4M factors (Man, Method, Materials, Machine). Defect rates were reduced by 35% post-improvement, confirming prior systemic quality issues.
