- Abstract
Manufacturing companies seek to offer quality products to their customers. However, quality is subjective depending on the unique requirements of each product and how these are affected by different conditions that the material is subjected to during its manufacturing process. Therefore, it is sought by means of process capacity studies to verify that the specifications of the products comply with what is requested by the client. The resistance in a fuse prevents equipment from undergoing power surges, acting as a safety device and, because of this, it is important that the resistance fulfills its function and prevents serious damage. Through the analysis of capacity indices, it is possible to conclude whether a process is capable or not, evaluating a critical characteristic of the product. When the indices show a non-capable process, different statistical tools are used to find a solution to avoid deficiencies in the process. In this article, a design of experiments is developed to optimize resistance in a fuse and improve the capacity indices of the process. An experimentation scheme is presented for the optimization of the process' parameters and after the experimentation it was possible to increase the process capability going from a 0.25 Cpk level to a 1.24 Cpk level, which denotes the improvement of the process.
