RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This project required me to collect a lot of data and analyze this data using various QC
tools or quality control tools. Before going on to the QC tools used by me I would like
to give a brief introduction to quality.
INTRODUCTION TO QUALITY
The cause and effect diagram sometime know as Ishikawa diagram after
its inventor. It is also known as a fish bone diagram because of its shape. A
cause and effect diagram describes the relation between the variables. The
undesirable output is shown as the effect, and related cause are shown as
leading to, or potentially leading to, the said
effect. This popular tool has one severe limitation, however in that user can
overlook important, complex interactions between causes thus; if a problem is
caused combination of the factors, it is difficult to use to depict and solve it.
2) PARETO DIAGRAM
A Pareto diagram puts data in a hierarchical order, which allows the most
significant problem to be corrected first. The main aim of the Pareto
analysis is to
identify the three top contributors for the problem. The Pareto analysis
technique is used primarily to identify and evaluate nonconformities,
although it can summarize all types of
data. It is perhaps the most often diagram.
3) HISTOGRAM
The histogram plots data in a frequency table. What distinguishes a
histogram from a check sheet is that its data are grouped into rows so that the
identity of individual value is lost. Commonly is used to present quality
improvement data, histogram works based with small amount of data what
vary considerably. When used in the process capability studies histogram can
display specification limit to show the portion of the data does not meet the
specification.
4) CONTROL CHARTS
A control chart is a simple graphical device for knowing at a given
instance of
time, whether or not a process is under control. In any manufacturing process
TYPES OF CONTROL
there variation from CHARTS
piece to piece.
Variable
Attribute
Variable control charts are used for plotting the measurement of the
characteristics like height ,weight ,temperature ,thickness etc.average range ,
median range, average standard deviation ,individual moving range are some of
the types of variable control charts. Attribute data’s are based on only two
values (conforming/ Non conforming, go /no go, present/absent) but they can
be counted for recording analysis. Examples are presence of defects in painted
panel. Other example is characteristics that
are measurable but the results are recorded in yes/no, such as conformation of
shaft diameter. Checked on go/no go gauge.
In the real world very few processes completely satisfies all the conditions
and
assumptions required for estimating Cpk. also, statistical debates and research
communities are still ragging in the strengths and weaknesse4s of various
capabilities and performance indices. Finally in order to achieve continuous
improvement, attempt must be made to refine the “voice of the process” to
match and then to surpass the “expectation of the customer”.
5) PDCA Cycle
Among the most widely used tools for continuous improvement is a four-
step quality model—the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle, also known as
Deming Cycle or Shewhart Cycle:
Check- Use data to analyze the results of the change and determine whether it
made a difference.

1. Mechanical press:-
In this press, the load generation thro motor, flywheel, gear, transmission
through connecting rod. High production rate.
2. Hydraulic press:-
Load generation thro motor driven hydraulic pumps and transmission through
hydraulic
cylinders. Generally, low production rate.
There are 4 mechanical presses:-
P1, P2, P3 & P4 are the mechanical presses. They are used because of their high
productive rate.
The P2 is used for drawing operation and P1 is used for Trimming, Piercing and
bending.
The reason is that because the P2 press machine has
double pads and cushions which absorb the force exerted by the die.

After then, the frames are put in the carrier on the conveyer for the painting.
Before painting, the fames are washed in the ionized water then dried in
the oven at 500 temperatures.
Then ED coating (electrode deposition) is done on them. Then, at paint booth the
base coating and top coating is done by the robots.
But for finishing and parts which are not painted is done manually.
Then, these frames are allowed to enter at the oven for drying
of the paint. The ED coating will get deposit and the paint will got attached metal.
Then, this paint coated is checked at the inspection booth.
The defected frame are sent to the manually paint
shop.
Then, all the OK frames are sending to the assembly line for the manufacturing of
the product.
Note:-
There are 4 conveyer line with different temperatures and components.
The metallic frames are kept at 1700 temperature where as fiber frames are
kept at 800 temperatures

8.1 Introduction:-
Fig 8.1
1. Top Down approach:-
A top-down approach (also known as stepwise design and in some cases
used as a synonym of decomposition) is essentially the breaking down of a
system to gain insight into its compositional sub-systems in a reverse
engineering fashion. In a top-down approach an overview of the system is
formulated, specifying but not detailing any first-level subsystems. Each
subsystem is then refined in yet greater detail, sometimes in many
additional subsystem levels, until the entire specification is reduced to base
elements. A top-down model is often specified with the assistance of “black
boxes”, these make it easier to manipulate. However, black boxes may fail
to elucidate elementary mechanisms or be detailed enough to realistically
validate the model. Top down approach starts with the big picture. It breaks
down from there into smaller segments.
For E.g:-
This below picture shows exactly how the Top Down Approach
works.
Fig 8.2
2. Bottom- Up Approach:-
A bottom-up approach is the piecing together of systems to give rise to
more complex systems, thus making the original systems sub-systems of
the emergent system. Bottom-up processing is a type of information
processing based on incoming data from the environment to form a
perception. From a Cognitive Psychology perspective, information enters
the eyes in one direction (sensory input, or the "bottom"), and is then turned
into an image by the brain that can be interpreted and recognized as a
perception (output that is "built up" from processing to final cognition). In a
bottom-up approach the individual base elements of the system are first
specified in great detail. These elements are then linked together to form
larger subsystems, which then in turn are linked, sometimes in many levels,
until a complete top-level system is formed. This strategy often resembles a "
seed" model, by which the beginnings are small but eventually grow in
complexity and completeness. However, "organic strategies" may result in a
tangle of elements and subsystems, developed in isolation and subject to
local optimization as opposed to meeting a global purpose.

8..1.1 LEAK
Containers, vessels, enclosures, or other fluid system are sometimes tested for leaks -
to see if there is any leakage and to find where the leaks are so corrective action can
be taken. There are several methods for leak testing depending on the situation.
Sometimes leakage of fluid may make a sound which can be detected. Tires, engine
radiators, and maybe some other smaller vessels may be tested by pressurizing them
with air and submerging them in water to see where air bubbles come out to indicate a
leak. If submerging in water is not possible, then pressurization with air followed by
covering the area to be tested with a soap solution is done to see if soap bubbles form,
which indicate a leak. Other types of testing for gas leaks may involve testing for the
outleaking gases with sensors which can detect that gas, for example - special sensing
instruments for detecting natural gas. U.S. federal safety law now requires natural gas
companies to conduct testing for gas leaks upstream of their customer's gas meters.
Where liquids are used, special color dyes may be added to help see the leakage.
Other detectable substances in one of the liquids may be tested, such as saline to find
a leak in a sea water system, or detectable substances may even be deliberately added
to test for leakage.
Machinig problem : The problem occur due to defective machining of the component
or casting problem. Hole Dia. Oversize, drilling or tapping NG,
milling NG etc are some of the machining problem.
Functional Problem : The problem which cannot be visualized easily on engine. Hair
point hole, valve leak, tapping NG are some of the functional
problem.
To leak test the engine: cylinder, head, reed cage, intake manifold and spark
plug must all be installed and torque correctly. Exhaust pipe and carburetor
must be removed.
Seal round exhaust ports with the correct size rubber expansion plug. For
1986-1991 Honda CR250R and 1985-2001 Honda CR500R, remove the
exhaust manifold and seal the exhaust port using one of the flat metal plates
with a rubber gasket. Optional plate 08-071O is available separately for
1987-1989 CR125R.
Insert the correct size carburetor adapter (#1, #2 or #3) into the intake
manifold and tighten the manifold clamp. Teflon tape the thread on the quick
coupler and install coupler into the carburetor adapter.
Push the nylon hose (from the pump/ gauge assembly) into the quick coupler.
If the nylon hose leaks where installed into the coupler, push the hose into the
coupler assembly while under pressure. It is important to have the system
under pressure while attempting to seat the hose to coupler. To remove hose,
push green (or gray) ring on quick coupler towards brass fitting while pulling
and twisting hose out.
With all test equipment in place and the piston at bottom dead center, use the
hand pump to pump 6 PSI of air pressure into engine. Never exceed 8 PSI of
air pressure or
damage to the seals and/or engine may occur. If loss of air pressure occurs,
spray soapy water over mating surfaces to see where soap bubbles appear.
Repair any leaks that may appear and redo test. A leakage rate of 1 PSI per
minute is acceptable; however the lower the leakage rate the better your
engine will perform.
6. By carefully listening at various points, you may be able to locate air leaks
that are not easily accessible with soapy water. Crankcase seal leakage may
be heard by removing the magneto cover or if on primary side may be heard
through the oil filler hole. Leakage at the power valve seals and O-rings can be
heard by removing the power valve linkage covers or through the
transmission oil filler hole. On water-cooled engines, head gasket leakage may
show up as bubbles in the radiator coolant.
7. The center crank seal (labyrinth seal) will allow low velocity air to pass from
one side to the other side. Therefore, both the left and right cylinders/
crankcases are tested together. To do so, seal both exhaust ports and one
intake port. Then, install the correct carburetor adaptor into the remaining
intake port. Perform steps 1 thru 6. There is no way to check the labyrinth seal;
this seal will normally out last the crankshaft main sbearings.
8. Each leak down tester is tested for leaks at Motion Pro. To insure that your
leak down tester remains leak proof it should be tested periodically. To test
simply connect leak down tester hose to a 1 quart leak proof container and
pressurize to 6 PSI. If no leakage occurs in ten minutes the tester is leak proof.
To locate leaks spray a soapy water solution over fittings and connections
and look for soap bubbles. On pipe fittings, use Teflon tape or pipe sealant.
Occasionally, the check valve between the hand pump and hose will leak.
Clean the check valve with contact cleaner and re-grease the ball in the check
valve to insure a good seal, and then retest.

9.2 HEAD COVER GASKIT MISS
Fig 9.2
A valve cover is on top of the engine and helps keep the oil splashed up to the
top of the motor in that pretty much its only function. A head gasket is a much
bigger deal. your engine has a block which is on the bottom and bolted to the
frame with motor mounts. And a head.which sits on top of the block. In
between the two is a head gasket. The two peices of metal that make up the
engine expand at different times as they are two different types of metal. The
head gasket sits in between and allows enough room for everything to expand
as it warms up, and contract as it cools off

9.3 NEUTRAL SWITCH BOLT FREE
The neutral switch is built into the Transmission Range Selector switch located
on the top of the transmission.
Ensures that your car is in neutral before starting vehicle. In other words, its an
electrical fault built into your ignition system so you cant damage your
transmission by trying to crank your engine while in gear. The switch acts as an
open circuit in your starting system until your clutch is pressed in.

Fig Fig
9.5.1 9.5.2
The oil pump in an internal combustion engine circulates engine oil under pressure to
the rotating bearings, the sliding pistons and the camshaft of the engine. This
lubricates the bearings, allows the use of higher-capacity fluid bearings and also
assists in cooling the engine.
As well as its primary purpose for lubrication, pressurized oil is increasingly used as a
hydraulic fluid to power smallactuators. One of the first notable uses in this way was
for hydraulic tappets in camshaft and valve actuation. Increasingly common recent
uses may include the tensioner for a timing belt or variators for variable valve
timingsystems.
