| Abstract | IQS stands for Initial Quality Study. It is the evaluation of the product by customer’s point of view when final product comes after manufacturing & is ready for dispatch. In IQS, all defects are recorded aggregate wise & overall IQS Score is generated. This is called Demerit score whenever it is discussed about improvement in IQS. TQM approach is followed for IQS score improvement in Harvester combine. Swaraj Division, Plant -2, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited manufactures Tractors, Harvester combine & Forklift. This plant has a capacity to produce 500 Harvester Combines per year. IQS is done on tractor & Harvester combine. Forklift excludes from IQS. Tractor & Harvester combine have IQS score if 106 & 3406 respectively. So, harvester combine was selected for improvement as it has high score as compared to tractor. In this work, using TQM methodology, data was collected from IQS. Major defects were identified by Pareto analysis in three aggregates i.e. HPU, Supplies & Design. Cause & Effect analysis was done for major defects to find out probable causes. Possible causes were identified from probable causes using technical skills, knowledge and experience. Possible causes were tested hypothetically by actual measurements and analysis. Corrective action plans were made for the valid causes. After observing and analyzing results, correction procedures were standardized and implemented. Overall IQS score of HC from major 14 defects of three aggregates were identified from Pareto analysis, reduced from 2119 to 1109, having 48% improvement. HPU score of major 5 defects identified from Pareto analysis, reduced from 1016 to 700, having 31% improvement. Similarly, Supplies and Design score reduced from 753 to 409 having 46% improvement and from 350 to 0, by eliminating all 4 defects respectively. |
