Improving Quality of Light Commercial Vehicle Using PDCA Approach
Abstract
Good quality coating in painting process of light commercial vehicle is important to reduce cost and concurrently achieve customer satisfaction. The PDCA-cycle approach is utilized to reduce the defects in the electrodeposition process. In this study the bits defect on the electrodeposited body is investigated. A systematic quality improvement plan and optimization are performed. The application of the PDCA-cycle improved 65% of bits and reduced 34% of sanding man hour.
