Problem Definition – oil filter adapter GAS REJECTION
Cause & effect diagram for Gas rejection of Oil Filter Adapter Machine Man Is it due to improper handling Is the specified M/C used ? M/C Setting parameters Is operator trained ? Is core supply through proper planning? Is Jolting & squeezing proper? Is gas vent opened properly? Pouring time in sec. Is operator temporary ? Is M/C in good condition ? Gas vent opening by air? Is it due to improper Rework ? Is Air pressure adequate? Absenteeism Gas Rejection Pattern venting system inadequate Core scratch hardness is not proper? Laddle not cleaned Pattern Mismatch Is core baking proper? Are Control Plan followed ? Is Sand properties ok? Pattern Gas vent provision Pouring Process not proper ? Gas vent drill size Is core color is proper? Green Sand Moisture % is high? Metal temperature meter are not calibrated Is Mould hardness is ok? Core moisture is not removed? Discontinuity of pouring? Core sand gas is high? Pattern Damage Core Box Damage Pouring height? Core gas is not removed Method Material Tooling
