ARaymond: Preventing errors in production thanks to SPC software

ARaymond is a well-known global enterprise in providing fasten and assembly solutions that help machines operate in the best conditions and achieve the highest efficiency. Today, ARaymond had 26 manufacturing sites and 11 engineering centers across 25 countries in the world.

On the whole, ARaymond operators focus on process capability and process performance, paying close attention to Cpk numbers. Cp represents process capability, and Cpk is a tool to measure the Cp value distributed between upper and lower limits. Cpk represents the capability the process could achieve if the process was perfectly centered between the specification limits.

Applied in 2007, the SPC software proved to ARaymond that their decision was absolutely correct. SPC provides technical specifications to help ARaymond experts find the most potential solution in the process of installing equipment in a factory, building logical structures and choosing the right equipment for each school. Different combinations.

SPC is a Windows-based software that is very familiar to users and very easy to learn, even for beginners. When the audiences are identified, within minutes, experts can easily observe the technical parameters and performance charts.

According to the company’s statistics, a marked downward trend in machine errors is shown in factories where the SPC software is applied during the installation process. ARaymond experts also said that due to SPC, abnormal incidents can be analyzed even if the production line is not working, so they can change the design to prevent errors, and the manufacturer Export also saves the cost of troubleshooting later.

For example, in the quality assessment process: Normally, to test whether the device has a stable product, one batch (20-50) of the product is processed continuously without calibrating the machine, i.e. to random variable size. If Cp> 1.66 means very good machine capacity, but too stable to make details with large tolerances, it will cause waste. When Cp <1.66 and> 1.33 is the most reasonable capacity, stable stage and moderate management level. In the case of Cp <1.33, the machine needs to be improved or adjusted right from the installation stage to be able to meet customer requirements. With the SPC software, experts can estimate the ability to meet the machine’s technical requirements even when a sample is not used.

ARaymond not only uses SPC software to improve production processes but also provides data to customers. This brings peace of mind that the solution they provide is appropriate and workable. On the other hand, when analyzing historical data, ARaymond always assesses the occurrence of errors and errors in the occurrence of errors in order to find the cause, thereby continuously improving the service and providing more appropriate solutions.
