ABSTRACT
The tool and die making industry largely contributes to the economic performance of
major economies .. In an environment with highly rising competition and as new
competitors charging low cost, it is facing new challenges . Confronted with these
new competitors, tool and die manufacturers have an even higher need to lower the
costs. A huge share of the costs in the tool and die industry is caused by mistakes. For
eg : Scrap and rework costs. Scrap and rework costs are caused by many things
when the wrong parts are ordered, when engineering changes arent effectively
communicated or when designs arent properly executed on the manufacturing line.
No matter why scrap and rework occurs, its impact on an organization is always the
samewasted time and money.These expenses add up quickly and negatively impact
the bottom line. Although it is near-impossible to eliminate scrap and rework
completely, we can reduce the amount of scrap and rework in your organization
usimg a better the quality policy. The main objective of the thesis work is to apply
multi-disciplinary concepts; tools and technique to solve organizational problems and
to evolve innovative theoretical frame work. In this thesis work, the Quality policy of
the industry is improved by implementing a CoQ model in the industry, thus
calculating the total cost associated with the industry. The work aims to propose a
better quality policy for the industry which reduces the rate of reworks and the total
cost. FMECA analysis and Ishikawa diagram is used to reduce reworks. Current risks
are identified, current controls are evaluated and rework reducing actions are defined
in advance. Some measures are suggested to avoid reworks in future.
Keywords: Cost of Quality, Costing, FMEA, Quality, Reworks
