The flatness of a certain batch of aluminum alloy thin-walled laminations is the key quality control object. The calculation result of the process performance index Pp

in the initial manufacturing stage showed that the process capability was insufficient. In order to solve the above problem, through analysing the structural characteristics of the lamination and combing the production process, an end factors’ analysis model of the out-of-tolerance flatness was established; by means of investigation and experimental verification, the main causes of out-of-tolerance flatness were confirmed. Targeted improvement measures such as optimization of mould inspection strategies and replacement of qualified moulds had been taken. After the improvement, using the MINITAB software, the Xbar-R control chart and process capability chart were drawn, and the calculation and analysis of process performance index Pp

were completed. The results showed that the improved production process was in a state of statistical control and the process capability was sufficient. The effectiveness of the improved measures was verified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
