This paper describes the proposal of Poka Yoke Roller Coaster (PKYC) jig as a device to detect nut weld missing of door patch base line model (BLM) at assembly line station. The PKYC was proposed in order to detect nut weld missing problem and to reduce cycle time and manpower that lead to higher cost by applying quality management concept as a problem-solving tool. This special purpose tool was capable to meet specific job based on industrial need by providing repeatability, interchangeability and accuracy in the manufacturing of products. A Quality Control (QC) approachcalled the Zero Quality Control (ZQC) was used to achieve zero defects at production line. In order to reach zero defects, poka yoke method was applied in this research. Outcomes indicate that PKYC can be utilised as a custom-tailored jig for detecting nut weld missing as well as fulfilling other objectives.

This work elucidated the knowledge transfer method used by an international first tier advanced composite multinational company supplier in transferring the technical knowledge to a Malaysian advanced composite manufacturer. Effective route of knowledge transfer could significantly improve the performance of the company. The process of the transferring knowledge is an ongoing progression of learning, adjusting, and improving. An excellent knowledge transfer could benefit both the knowledge provider and receiver. A “Backward Engineering” investigation on the relationship between the factors during the knowledge transfer process is useful, to be an ideal reference for others. This paper exhibits the technological transfer executed by the aero-composite manufacturer. Method chosen in this study is focus group discussion involving the working committee of respective programme. It was found that a systematic two stages with multi-phases of knowledge transfer has been explored during flat-curvature structures aero-composite project. Tacit and explicit knowledge is important for transferring technical knowledge in industry context. It is noticed that a useful knowledge transfer mechanism has an impact on the performance of organization such as increases in productivity, profits, and growth.
