Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The most common type of distress in tiling in commercial and industrial areas is cracked tiles at movement joints. Tiles are selected for flooring in heavy traffic areas because of not only their appearance but also their superior performance characteristics. Thus, the study aimed to assess the quality of tiles developed by Mariwasa in terms of mechanical crack. to identify the problem encountered by the company, the researchers requested data needed in assessing the product quality of tiles in terms of mechanical crack.

METHODS

The proponent adapted the Quality assessment and improvement processes and techniques authored by Montgomery, J. D. in 2000. With the permission of the company, Quality Assessment process starts with an assessment engagement. The proponents requested a quality assessment of the company's quality process. This request commenced planning activities that resulted in a written approach on how and when to proceed with the assessment. At the end of this study, the proponents will have the output of the quality assessment to find out if there are flaws in the process that need corrective action to improve the quality of products and services.

RESULTS

From the data gathered, it was found out that the main problem of the company focuses on the mechanical crack. Thus, a replacement of 4 PLS Roller RPM conveyor was suggested.

DISCUSSIONS

The results showed that to prevent mechanical crack, checking of parameter every day on NUE, AER, RPR conveyor and regular monitoring is recommended.
