REJECTION REDUCTION OLD METHOD Component Name : Bearing Housing Component weight : 20Kgs Number of Castings per Mold : 1nos. Total Good Casting wt : 20Kgs Total Pouring wt : 30.5kgs Yield : 65.5% REJECTION DESCRIPTION Component getting rejected at customer end after machining due to shrinkage problem

Picture shows the possible Shrinkage area Shrinkage location This defect location exactly matches with customer complaint
REJECTION REDUCTION • Corrective Action • Process changed to Furan Fast Loop Line from High Pressure Molding line • Feeder position and neck size corrected. • Number of Castings per Mold increased to 2 from 1
