 Best Practice Bellow ASM
Quality Improvement by Implemented a Gauge for spring joint open during assy.

Issue Improvement Result

 Spring Joint open during the assembly  A Round Gauge to be developed having OD  Total Defect rate
is equal LIP OD of Bellow ASM to check spring
tension before assembly.

Before After

 Rejection PPM is considered

after spring assembly only.

Idea-
 Round Gauge of Dia. 19 mm implemented to
•To check the maximum tension of the spring
check the tension in ID before assembly.
before open during the assembly
 Easiness in 100% Inspection .
 Operator Moral Increased

NG Sample OK Sample
 Deduction Method
Benefit of Improvement
- No Inspection was being done for cuff direction. • NG part fitment not possible after providing locating block
in leakage testing jig.
• Easy detect to NG outer cuff assy. in drain hose During
leakage testing.
