Abstract :

Currently, the manufacturing industry faces difficult competition. Competition has increased because of increased customer demands. Even though most of manufacturing industries focus on improving the quality of products in order to enhance their customers� satisfaction, the productivity is not achieved because of the errors in measurement system. In order to improve productivity, the companies should caliate their instruments and measurement method before operating inspection to achieve precise and accurate data. The present study performs the Gage R&R analysis for a manufacturing organisation, whose major product is gears of various sizes used in transmission system. The problem faced by the company is that they are getting frequent rejections from the customer due to nonconformance of gear dimensions. Initially the thorough analysis of manufacturing and measurement process of the company has been carried out. The Gage R&R analysis study of the gear dimension measurement system has been carried out. The study show serious issues regarding measurement procedures.
