Moser Baer-QC Line Integration
Monday, June 18, 2007
Project QC Line Integration is developed and implemented by Moser Baer India
Ltd in-house. The project is aimed at consolidating the testing process and
reducing the manpower involved in testing the CDs. In their earlier process,
every production line had one person who was responsible for producing CDs. Once
the CDs were out from the manufacturing line, each lot was sent to the testing
module, where a team of seven to eight people used a collection of devices to
test the CDs.
In the new system, a basic testing module has been installed on each
manufacturing line. This is connected to the testing devices with the help of an
interface that has been developed in-house. The interface collects the data from
the testing devices, processes it in real time, and informs the person on the
production line whether the lot produced was good or bad. If the lot is bad, it
is routed to the testing module for doing non-routine tests, so that they can
segregate the CDs as D-grade or scrap. If the lot passes the routine test in the
production line itself, it is directly moved for packing. This has reduced the
manpower in the testing module from seven to two people. Moreover, all the
production line testing is connected and the testing data is saved in a central
server, for generating reports for senior managers. The testing unit in-charge
also keeps an eye on all the production lines in the unit and analyzes the data
to check which production lines produce the maximum bad CDs, and therefore, need
maintenance.
