Improvement Plan in RM5 tm Assembly using Decision Tree Analysis at Asian Transmission Corporation

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In today's world, business has become more and more competitive. Industries and organizations must perform well to survive and be profitable. in organizations, quality and productivity is very important. One of the most significant influences for an organization to be successful is their quality improvement in operations and productions.

METHODS

The structure of the methodology is in the form of a tree and hence named as decision tree analysis. in this paper, authors describe the theory and history behind the evolution of the decision tree analysis along with its application, advantages and disadvantages. Some examples have also been listed showing the positive effects of using decision tree analysis on productivity improvement on an industrial environment.

RESULTS

Based on the actual observation on the production line, three areas can be improved: Installation, Work Place Station and Main Process Flow. For Installation, it can be improved by installing shifting plate to T/M unit, installing harness cable and docking of T/M unit. For work place station, time cycle can be improved by picking up shifting plate, traveling to the next unit for monitoring test, picking up push/pull gauge, conducting shift resistance test using push/pull gauge and return push/pull gauge. For Main Process Flow, time cycle can be improved on Press test start button, travel to T/M unit, shifting the level to reverse gear, press shift operation OK button and Shift feel test.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrated that proper installation will increase the productivity and lessen the cycle time of the product. Moreover, having a proper process flow can lessen costumer complaint.
