Sammanfattning
The present 8D project deals with a quality issue that involves the Automotive
industry. The issue was to eliminate waste of scrap and process interruptions on the
Adient front seat assembly process. The group managed research to discover the
problem and developed a plan to get rid of the problem.
First, the problem went through an analysis by the collection of data and doing a
fairly deep investigation. Through this analysis, the team was able to find the
problem that is the cause. The defect seems to have been caused by a combination
of incorrect training received from the fitters and an angled fixture. The team then
made straight away contact with the production manager and took pictures of the
surroundings to ensure that they were aware of this problem.
After the root cause had been found, the team developed a plan with the help of the
8D methodology. This included improving communication, identifying and resolving
any issues that may have arisen, and having the regulatory body report on progress
to the board.
