In this paper, monitoring procedure for process variability in multivariate setting based on individual observations which is a combination of (i) Hotelling’s T2 control chart in detecting out of control signal and (ii) implementation of Mason, Young and Tracy (MYT) decomposition and structure analysis technique for root cause analysis is introduced. The advantages of this procedure will be shown by using the case of a paper box production process in one of the Malaysian manufacturing companies. The successful application of this multivariate approach could act as a stimulant for most industries to imitate in process monitoring. Moreover, the computation efficiency in root cause analysis enables quality’s multiple characteristics to be monitored simultaneously. Based on the findings, the core issue that needs to be a matter of concern by the management team is the closure tap of the box. This process variation should be solved immediately to avoid the products’ quality from further deteriorating.

Die Zuverlässigkeit von Werkzeugmaschinen ist ein kritischer Faktor für den Erfolg produzierender Unternehmen. Durch die Analyse von Daten in der Produktplanung können Maschinenhersteller Ausfallursachen eliminieren und Maschinen systematisch verbessern. Jedoch stellt eine umfassende Datenanalyse viele Unternehmen vor große Herausforderungen. Die in diesem Beitrag vorgestellte Methodik adressiert diese Problematik und unterstützt Unternehmen bei der zielgerichteten Datenanalyse.   The reliability of machine tools is a critical factor for the success of manufacturing companies. By analyzing data in product planning, machine manufacturers can eliminate causes of failure and systematically improve machines. However, comprehensive data analysis poses great challenges for many companies. The methodology presented in this paper addresses this problem and supports companies in the goal-driven data analysis.

Cause And Effect Diagram

PurposeThis paper attempts to develop a hybrid cause and effect diagram (CED) and interpretative structural model (ISM) for root cause analysis in quality management. The proposed model overcomes the weakness of the CED in reliably articulating hierarchical cause–effect Relationships.Design/methodology/approachA focus group discussion (FGD) among quality experts in the case company to establish relationships between the determined causes.FindingsThe hybridization of the CED and ISM allowed the causes to be ordered more clearly to determine potential root causes as well as presenting these causes more comprehensively.Originality/valueThe paper has been one of the very few attempts to improve the CED approach. As such, this paper employs the ability of the ISM to order concepts in a hierarchical structure, which is useful in determining root causes.

PurposeManufacturing companies struggle to manage production disturbances. One step of such management deals with prioritising those disturbances which should undergo root cause analysis. The focus of this work is on two areas. First, investigating current challenges faced by manufacturing companies when prioritising root cause analysis of production disturbances. Second, identifying the stakeholders and factors impacted by production disturbances. Understanding the current challenges and identifying impacted stakeholders and factors allows the development of more efficient prioritisation strategies and, thus, contributes to the reduction of frequency and impact of disturbances.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the intended purpose of this research, a qualitative approach was chosen. A series of interviews was conducted with practitioners, to identify current challenges. A series of focus groups was also held, to identify the impacted stakeholders and factors by disturbances.FindingsVarious challenges were identified. These are faced by manufacturing companies in their prioritisation of production disturbances and relate to the time needed, criteria used, centralisation of the process, perspective considered and data support. It was also found that a wide range of stakeholders is impacted by production disturbances, surpassing the limits of production and maintenance departments. Furthermore, the most critical factors impacted are quality, work environment, safety, time, company results, customer satisfaction, productivity, deliverability, resource utilisation, profit, process flow, plannability, machine health and reputation.Originality/valueThe current situation regarding root cause analysis prioritisation has not been identified in previous works. Moreover, there has been no prior systematic identification of the various stakeholders and factors impacted by production disturbances.

Robots are increasingly interacting with people at the workplace as users or bystanders, hence, they ought to be reliable and safe. The rationale behind the study is to understand the causes of the rising workplace robot accidents by analysing a particular case for greater understanding. The article provides diverse perspectives on the probable causes and consequences of robot-related accidents and offers suggestions to mitigate these. It involves the application of the root cause analysis technique to identify the reasons behind the robot-related accident that resulted in the death of a worker and suggests remedies to do away with any such recurrence in the future. The study endeavours to bridge the research gap pertaining to robot-related accidents in the automotive industry.

The analysis of the root cause techniques is a reasonable option to be made to assess the root causes of the funding of construction projects. There are a variety of issues related to financing in construction industries in Iraq. The root,cause analysis is the impact of security and social conditions on financial funding. Variety tools of root cause analysis have originated from literature, as common methods for the detection of root causes. The purpose of this study was to identify and diagnose causes that lead to obstruction of financial funding in the construction projects in the republic of Iraq from the contractors' point of view and their interaction with a number of variables. The study diagnosed nine causes of financial funding in construction projects in Iraq. They are  Pareto,Diagram (PD), and the Five  Why, Analysis. It is found that the reasons (the organization's or the contracting company's reputation, the effect of expertise and skill of the organization or contracting company in obtaining finance & the impact of security and social conditions on the financial funding), came of degree important. In comparison, other reasons came of degree, average important.
