Hello Cove members,
I would like to have advice for the below scenario and we are having it for the first time :
We are supplying one of our products (plastics reel) to one of our customers for them to wound up the solder lead and are having a feedback from customer where they are having concern on the net weight (500gms-505gms) (solder lead weight after wounding on the plastics reel) where there is difference between net weight (the weight for the solder lead, not include the plastics reel weight) at their premises and the one found by their other plant in oversea (which is lower than 500 gms).
They have checked product and found the issue actually due to our plastics reel part weight which is slightly lower (35.90 gms) but still within spec limit (36.00 gms +/-5%) (34.2 gms-37.8 gms). The part weight for cavity 02 is higher than cavity 01 because the material will filled up cavity 02 followed by cavity 01 when injection molding.
Therefore, we have collected data of 30 samples for each cavity (cavity 01 & 02) and listed out the average, after review the data, our customer suggested that to change the spec to 36.70gms+/-0.5gms (36.2 gms - 37.2 gms) to solve the difference issue.
From the above part (plastics reel), our PQC are doing weight checking by taking 5 pcs per shift of 12 hrs for each cavity (cavity 01 & 02) and since this has been an issue feedback from customer (not a complaint), any part weight supplied to customer that is out of the customer suggested spec will be rejected totally for that particular lot. Since this is critical, so i suggested that QC should collect 30 samples per every 2 hrs for each shift to monitor the part weight (would this be reasonable?) because i have been rejected by the QC inspector that this is no need as 5 samples per shift of 12 hours is enough.
Please refer to attachment for the data i collected and i would like to calculate the Cpk for this part, is it possible for me to calculate the Cpk, if yes, need your help to guide me through.
Need help
