One of the company's efforts in implementing the commitment to customer satisfaction is carried out through continuous improvement activities. All indicators are evaluated to determine the level of quality stability against process variations that will impact non-compliance with predetermined product specifications. One of the quality problems found in the tire manufacture industry is the out-percentage of tire uniformity, which suddenly increases, one of which is the value of static balance. This study analyses the process variation factors that occur to take corrective and preventive actions through a series of Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Refers to the analysis result, it was found that there was a problem with the rubber film gauge variation at the manufacturing step of the steel breaker, one of the material components in the tire construction. Two main factors cause rubber film thickness variation:  rubber sticky with roll calendar, Radial Run Out (RRO) Roll Calendar out standard, and viscosity compound variation with 12 root problems found. The results of the improvements that have been made can effectively improve rubber film thickness variation, increase the Cpk level of steel breaker material from 0.82 to 1.91 and reduce the out percentage ratio of static balance by 54.65%.

Abstract Emission microscopy is usually implemented for static operating conditions of the DUT. Under dynamic operation it is nearly impossible to identify a failure out of the noisy background. In this paper we describe a simple technique that could be used in cases where the temporal location of the failure was identified however the physical location is not known or partially known. The technique was originally introduced to investigate IDDq failures (1) in order to investigate timing related issues with automated tester equipment. Ishii et al (2) improved the technique and coupled an emission microscope to the tester for functional failure analysis of DRAMs and logic LSIs. Using consecutive step-by-step tester halting coupled to a sensitive emission microscope, one is able detect the failure while it occurs. We will describe a failure analysis case in which marginal design and process variations combined to create contention at certain logic states. Since the failure occurred arbitrarily, the use of the traditional LVP, that requires a stable failure, misled the analysts. Furthermore, even if we used advanced tools as PICA, which was actually designed to locate such failures, we believe that there would have been little chance of observing the failure since the failure appeared only below 1.3V where the PICA tool has diminished photon detection sensitivity. For this case the step-by-step halting technique helped to isolate the failure location after a short round of measurements. With the use of logic simulations, the root cause of the failure was clear once the failing gate was known.

With the rapid growth of semiconductor industry, manufacturers are always seeking for improvement to produce better product quality with lower cost in order to survive under competitive marketing environment. However, these matters are easily affected by the failures occurred on the machines. Thus, this paper proposes framework using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) with 5-Whys analysis to discover the root cause of the failure furthermore to identify the effective solutions. Drilling machine has been used to justify the practicability of the proposed framework.

Nowadays, shoes are not just a casual footwear. Certain shoes can tell the social class of a person. The increase of shoe prices and social status of wearing expensive shoes became a trigger for the development of shoe laundry services. There were a service quality problems in a shoe laundry in Tangerang, Indonesia. Several methods to improve service quality was studied and it is decided to propose a new model, which is integration model of Service Blueprint, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). The research starts with identifying the problem with observation and interview, then build Service Blueprint. Based on the fail point that has been identified in Service Blueprint, the FMEA used to find which process is the most dominant cause of failure and the most urgent for improvement. The next step is using FTA to find the root cause of the failure of the dominant cause. After analyzing the FTA, the improvement was proposed and implemented. Service failure before and after implementation was compared to see the improvements. There are 6 suggestion and implemented. After the implementation, the error in each process was measured and it is found a decrease in error in each process.

Purpose The purpose of this paper was to obtain the lubrication characteristics of heavy hydrostatic bearing in heavy equipment manufacturing industry through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Design/methodology/approach This paper discusses the influence of oil film thickness variation on velocity field, outlet-L and outlet-R flow velocity under the hydrostatic bearing running in no-load 0 N, load 400 KN, full load 1,500 KN and rotating speeds of 10 r/min, 20 r/min, 30 r/min, 40 r/min, 50 r/min and 60 r/min, by using dynamic mesh technology and FLUENT software. Findings When the working table rotates clockwise, in the change process of oil film thickness, the fluid flow pattern of the lubricating oil at the edge of the sealing oil is the rule of laminar flow, and the oil cavity has a vortex. The outlet-R flow velocity becomes higher and higher by increasing the bearing load and working table speed, and the flow velocity increases with the decrease in oil film thickness; the outlet-L flow velocity increases with the decrease in oil film thickness under low rotating speed (less than 10 r/min) condition and decreases with the decrease of oil film thickness under high rotating speed (more than 60 r/min) condition. Originality/value The influence of the oil film thickness on the flow state distribution of the oil film was analyzed under different working conditions, and the influence rules of oil film thickness on the flow velocity of hydrostatic bearing oil pad was obtained by using dynamic mesh technology.

There are the inevitable occasions when something goes wrong despite the great care taken when engines are designed, built, operated and serviced. Failures can lead at best to some cost and inconvenience or at the worst to a totally destroyed engine. The cost of repairs, followed sometimes by many weeks of down time, can be enormous. In addition there is the critical question of safety and the risk of injury to personnel. By analyzing failures and their causes a lot of experience can be gained and used to the benefit of all. This experience can improve future products. The paper describes some failures which have been experienced by the authors and shows how an analysis of the evidence has identified the root cause. We show how the knowledge gained improves our ability to predict engine behavior and the stress field in the components concerned. The paper goes on to describe what measures can be taken to improve the product and to prevent the circumstances from happening again. The use of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is described because experience gained from failures can make this an extremely powerful tool when used during the design process.
