Abstract - In developing Areas of Industries or any field of
any organization are continuously running. There for most
difficult situations are createsforselectingabestorganization
which have best quality at low cost and may be have
guarantee or warranty for any periods and not known about
their life reliability and maintain ability It is most difficult to
comparing their characteristics and specification in
competitive market so that most upper position of any object
or product is quality features which is very stiff cult in
selecting of a product. So that Therefore In competitive area
every Industries know about requirements of markets and
know about other Industries which hoar giving the quality
products in markets at that cost and what features put up.
This research is been made in Press CO-MEC Auto component
PVT LTD in Faridabad which manufactures the back plate of
brake shoes. This Research is on the basis of quality related
problem which occurred in back plate assembly. Some defects
are occurred in during manufacturing of a back plate which
created more rejections and many customer complaints were
getting. By this overall efficiency of the company is going to
loss every day. These issues are discussed in this study.
So this research concludes that these problems are effectively
removed by rejection control technique or problem solving
techniques. The 7QC tools have been implemented which also
known as Basic 7QC control tools. 7QC tools also involves the
kaizen, 8D, TQM, 5’S Toyota Production system Quality circle,
statistical process control and SOP in Total quality
Management. So we worked accordingtothese qualitycontrol
techniques. This research analyzed and identified the defects
and makes the list of defects which occurred in back plate
Assembly in First stage to last stage of the final products. This
also analysis and observed and identified the problems to find
out causes of defects and root causes of defects and mode of
failure of objects and process variations and machines
parameters and we implement for find out defect freesolution
by using 7QC Approaches for quality improvement of a
manufacturing product. For this research we use Flow Chart,
Check sheets, Control chart, Pareto analysis Causes and effect
diagrams scatter diagrams and stratification andusesgraphs
as histograms. These are involves the kaizen, Toyota
production system, 5’s, 8D and TPM
Key Words: 7QC tools Kaizen SD, 5’s, PDCA, DMIAC
Toyota Production system.
1. INTRODUCTION
Quality is most important characteristic or features of any
industry, because quality shows the market level of any
industries in competitive field. It is necessary to know about
what is going on markets, and what is demand of markets
and what wants of customers. Mr. Jimmy Th. B. S. AOT
certified consultant and auditor which publish the book of 7
QC Tool which describe the problem solving technique and
decision making solution for any area. It givestechniqueand
formulation for decision making solution for total quality
management. Quality gurus like Deming and Juran, which
belonged to japan developed 7 QC tools for solving any type
of problem. They are also known as quality gurus (1974).
The guru of quality, Kaoru Ishikawa developed Ishikawa
tools of quality which also known as cause and effect
diagrams tools. He did not developed 7 tools of quality but
he introduced basic 7 types of quality tools which used for
solving the 95% of all problems. He learned that how can
implement the 7 QC tools in any problems. PranaysParmar
used approaches as statistical Process control Techniquefor
problems of wastages and rework in process. These process
variation developed wastage and recycled work. So, he
implemented in industries 7 QC tools such as statically
process control. LAUEESHUANG used 7QC Tools asa kaizen
technique which is rejection control technique kaizen toolis
used to removal or reduces the wastagewhichcarriedoutby
production process. The toolsremove7MUDAwastagesor7
type wastages is non-value added which is necessary
removed from production. These wastages are known as
TIMWOODS. Parijat Bhangale, Rajesh and Gajamn
Gambhire used 7QC as Basic tools of quality approaches for
eliminate the defects in car body panel, by this technique.
They present the resolution of defects of a car body panel by
which we eliminate the rejection and rework by using 7 QC
Tools Method or approaches. They analyzed and find out of
root cause by which Defect are created. They used7QCtools
like flow chart, cheek sheets, causes effect diagrams and
Pareto charts. Behnam Neyestani uses7QCToolsofQuality
control technique solve the problems of an organization. He
selected appropriate Qualities Technique for solutions of
defects. These tools areplayedimportantruleformonitoring
and collecting data and analyzing the data for solving the
problems and detecting in operation of manufacturing. 7QC
tools or Basic tools of quality control are Problem solving

technique which trouble shoots of quality issues. It is also
known as Brainstorming technique. These are used in any
areas of in which problems are created. These tools are
analyzed the problem from starting Processtothefinal stage
of any objects. They can do 95% solution of the problems by
right using and Right thinking of tools. These tools are
develop a quality Models for all type of an organizations.
These can be used for small and Medium and large group of
Industries. 7QC Tools are statistical toolsandgraphical tools
which trouble shoots the problems of quality issues. These
are simple statistical techniques which helpful in removal of
defects and scraps and rejection in productions. 7QCtoolsof
quality which control the quality performance of a
manufacturing product. These tools are also known as
magnificent Tools whichmagnifytheproblemsandcarry out
the main causes of defects and find out of solution 7QC tools
are implemented with quality programs or quality Eng. or
Practitioners which used with 7QC tools are implemented
with quality programs or quality Eng. or practitionerswhich
used with 7QC Tool for a continuous by process
improvements.
Figure-1 7QC Tools related with kaizen and SPC with
correlated with TQM in a quality programs.
2. METHODOLOGY
7QC Tools are problem solving tool which gathered the data
and after gathering and analysis these data and find out of
main causes which is rootcausesofproblemsgeneration and
measures the data evaluate the corrective actions. These
tools have Numerical data which analyzed by numerical
Method and monitored and after that processes these data
and evaluate the causes for problem solving of any type of
defects, implement the 7QC tool and find out the
solutions.7QC Tools are first time developed in japan. 7QC
tools are introduced by Quality Gurus. Quality gurus are
Deming, Juran and Kaoru Ishikawa. Deming and Juran
developed 7QC Tools. They told about7QCtoolsisa Problem
solving techniques which remove the quality related
problems by using these tools. Quality guru Ishikawa
introduced together 7QC Tools for solving the problems of
any organization. He told that 95 % Problem solved byusing
seven tools. The Ishikawa developed Quality circle Method.
He is known as father of quality circle. For this research we
analyzed the company manufacturing operation and used
the 7QC Tools.

2.1. Flow Chart:-
The flow chart is been used for observing and analysis the
manufacturing operations, procedures, process for produce
and manufacture a product. I identify the process which
essential for manufacturing a back plate. I analysis the all
process which start from raw material to final product to
customer delivery. I observing and monitoring the whole
Cathode Electro Deposition Process and Procedures and
Machine and instrument and setting parts which used in
manufacturing monitoringtheprocessreceivingpartofchild
parts of Back plate the After that washing of Child parts,
After that strengthening operations of Plate by welding and
after that riveting operations and Now analysestheCleaning
and Grinding operations of Back plate. Now move to CED
coating in paint shop. Now after that we observe coating
operation and move in trapping operations and Inspection
operations and monitoring to storage and Pre-dispatch
inspection and dispatch section. I analyzed and monitor the
all process which used in Back plate for manufacturing.
We used Rectangle circle, arrow and boxes for showing the
operations or process for understanding and analyzing the
process which represent the how the process in complete
and stand and monitor the cycle time.
Figure-2. Flow chart of process

We find out major defect, Damage, scrap and scratches and
wrinkles, lining and Lamination and short blank and blank
out etc. and other variation like dimensionally missing
operation, toleranceproblemsandgapvariationand welding
defect etc. These major or mains defects which produce
minor effects are identified by analyzing the operation.
2.2. Pareto Charts or diagrams or analysis:-
We analysis and monitoring overall operations and find out
major and minor defects from the analyzed data andfindout
the problems which affect the quality system and many
scraps and repair and rework and done it and many timed
loss and productivity effected by this rejections. So we find
out fused on this analysis we take samplereadonlydailyand
analysis of rejection of Jan 2019 to Feb 2019 we find out
monthly rejection of the section of back platesassembly.Our
target is zero % age defects. It means manufacture defect
free products.
Figure-3. Pareto diagram
Table-1. Percentage of rejection
For this we analysis this data by using pare to diagram by
pare to diagram we analyze data on graph in whichshowthe
% age and qty. and Defect According to theirlengthorheight
which effect on productivity.
This principal tells those 20 % major defects are dueto80%
minor defects. If 20 % major defects are removed then 80 %
removed without any interference. So we analyzed these
defect on graphical methods in which we takeX-Yaxisplane.
The left side of plane on Y-axis we take qty. or frequency of
defect and another side of Right side of Y-axis, we take
cumulative % age of defect and on X-axis we take different
type of major defects. The defects are in pare to chart is are
arranged in decreasing orders After using from 20 to 80 %
rule this diagram show the Dent Damage & secretes and
wrinkles are major role play in increasing of rejections. So
we focus on these two defects by thiswayweeliminatethese
defects.
Figure-4 Pareto analysis
2.3. Causes effect diagram:-
It has fish like structures. This tools used for causes and
effects of problems. We collect the data and find out their
causes and root causes by 4 M or 6M method. It is brain
storming techniques.
Figure-5. Causes & Effects Diagram
This causes creates many problems the major defect by why
–why analysis

Dent Damage, Scratches (DDS)
Table-2. Why-Why analysis
Effect of Dent:
1. Non confirming product.
2. Fitment problem at customer end.
3. Back plate is damage due to fitment problems.
4. Many scratch observed during operations.
Wrinkle (WL)
Table-3. W- Why analysis
Effect:-
1. Non Confirming product.
2. A Customer end the fails the product
Blank out & Short blank:-
Table-4. Why Analysis
Effect:-
1. Non confirming products.
2. Rejected by customers.
Lamination & Lining
Effect of L.L:-
1. Non confirming product.
2. Customer dissatisfied.
Other defect:-
1. Dimensionally variations.
2. Gap between back plate and retaining plate, locating plate
and riveting effect
3. Plate missing
4. Tolerance problems.
Effect:-
1. Non confirmation product
2. Fitment problem at customer end
3. Customer dissatisfied
In this way, we find out the root causes and effect of these
defects by using cause and effect or fishbone diagrams.
2.4. Histograms:-
It is tool which present the graphical presentationofthedata
which prepared by defect and show on the graph in
numerical form. These numerical data have different % age
of rejection qty. and provide a set in which data occurred.
Figure-6. Histogram

Histogram shows % age of defect on X-axis and defects take
in Y-axis and defects take in increasing orders. It provides
the shape of Numerical data.
2.5. Scatter diagrams:-
It shows the relationship between two variables. And it
shows the power of cause effect diagrams. Scatter diagram
help in understanding the relationship between two
variables and also help in future reference. If we do any
changes in independent variables then behavior of
dependent variables easily understand. It conform the
causes if dependent variables fall effect on in dependent
variables. Here we analysis major causes and their effects
have no relation.
These variables have no relation are called zero degree
correlation.
Table-7. Correlation between variables
Figure-7. Scatter diagram of zero degree correlation
2.6. Check sheet:-
The check sheet does not help the problem solutions. It has
only records or situation. It shows the conditions of
parameters and characteristics & specifications of any
machines or workstation or assembly department. It have
record of production in which pass productqty.andrejected
quantity are written in different list check sheet is different
to every M/CS and assembly sections and departments. By
this way using 7QC tools of quality we find out the defects
and their causes and effect and their statistical data or
numerical data on which analyzed done.
Figure-8. Defects of back plate
3. RESULT AND DISCUSSIONS
By using 7QC tools of quality control like Flow chart scatter
& fishbone Histogram check sheet, pare to analysis find out
the defect and causes and root causes and their defects and
provide a statistical data and record on which analysis have
done and carried out the results by using these tools.
Results of these data represent by 7QC Tools.
Flow chart:-
Find the variation which present in process and procedures
and operation which are necessary for manufacturing in
back plate assembly.
Pareto analysis:-
Pareto analysis that 20% major defect dent, damage and
wrinkles are covered the all 80 % minor defect and other
variation have in small areas.
Causes effect diagram:-
Causes effect diagram are find out the main causes or root
causes of any defects and their effects which creates the
quality problems issues by use why-why analysis.
Scatter diagrams:-
It shows the relationship between two pair defects that
which defects depend on other defects.
Check sheet:-
Check sheet shows the records of statistical or numerical
data of production activity.

Now find out the defection and variationandcausesofdefect
and their defects on production system. We take the step for
the corrections and removal of these defects.
For removal and reduces of these defects we find out
solution with help of quality circle teams and quality Eng.
Mr. Anil Aggarwal & Mr. Sunil Kumar and with help of same
workers and discuss about corrective action which prevent
the defects and removes the defects.
Control chart:-
One tool is such that which not find out problem causes &
not carried out solution. These tools not only are of control
the process or operations and procedure variations in
manufacturing system. This tool is known as control chart
tool of quality. These tools are also called statistical process
control tool which verify the variationwhichcameimproves.
These tools verify the stability of procedures or operations
in process. Here we are used two control charts.
1. X Charts
2. R Charts
X Charts is the mean or Average of any which are specified
under limit tolerances. It of data it is the ratio of sum of data
to no of data which occurred and observing in statistical
process. R Chart is difference between UCL and LCL which
present in data of any samples of product. R= UCL-LCL
Experimentally, here we measure the tube ID (inner dia.)
and tube angle by Vernier calipers and bevel protectors.
The list count of Vernier Caliper is 0.01mm.
The list count of bevel protector is 5 minutes.
So, we use the control chart for stability of process for
controlling of the procedures of manufacturing system. For
measurement of tube of back plate, accurate tolerancelimits
are
Tube length – 50mm,
Tube ID – 13.05± 0.7
Tube angle - 35± 2
Measurement of Tube ID
Tube id ± 0.7 Tolerance limit
Accurate value of tube Id - 13.05± 0.7
13.75 upper limits for tube id
12.35 lower limit for tube id
Now we take 9 variations of tube id which take under limit
which are accept table 13.00, 13.01, 13.05, 13.07, 13.09,
13.08, 13.03, 13.02

Figure-9. Control chart of tube id

Measurement of Tube angle
Tube angle tolerance limit is = ± 2
Accurate angle =35 ± 2
Upper limit for tube angle = 37
Lower control limit = 33
Now we take 10 parts which have different valueunderlimit

4. CONCLUSIONS
By this research it has been carried out the conclusion that
this technique are implement in any field of any
organizations for removal and reduces the any types of
problems. By using Brainstorming ideas we have find out
solution of any problem. These tools magnify the problems
and clamed out by magnificent solution. This is magnificent
tools of quality programs which is given by professor. By
using these techniques we can solve the 90% problem by
easy way in Industrial areas. These tools remove the every
variation which comes in every procedures and operations
and process in manufacturing section.
By using 7QC tool in Press co-MEC Auto componentindustry
