ABSTRACT:In this paper Silicon Carbide powders mixing into the dielectric fluid of EDM on machining characteristic of SS316 L materials has been proposed. Various process parameters namely peak current, pulse-on time, pulse-off time, powder concentration, powder grain size and nozzle flushing, duty factor, etc have been considered. The process performance is measured in terms of Response variables like Material Removal Rate(MRR) & Surface Roughness(SR). Number of experiments to be conducted is based on Taguchi orthogonal array with three level and three factors. The outcomes are expected to increase MRR, improve surface finish/reduce surface roughness..

Success in competitive markets increasingly demands ever shorter product and service introduction cycles and more rapid response to customers. Indeed fast response itself is often a major quality attribute. Reduction in cycle time and rapid response to customers can occur when work processes are designed to meet both quality and response goals. However after implementing the improved processes, there may be some problems in the process which may leads to delay of process. A detail analysis was conducted in M/s.Thermax Ltd Procurement department for ordering process of industrial valves. Waste in the process was eliminated by introducing the standard template of specifications & cycle time of ordering of valves got reduced.
