Implementation of Root Cause Analysis RCA in painting process for Malaysian automotive industries

Abstract

The shifting business between international and local private and public sectors, Malaysia's automobile industry has experienced economic growth. The Malaysian government is aware of the need of hosting an auto parts and aftermarket trade show to grow the sector. Additionally, based on the success of Malaysia's current automotive sector, additional development could be suggested and put into place to lessen the non-added values. For instance, flaws in the painting process are an issue for many makers of car parts. Given that it is frequently discovered on the finished product, this issue is significantly more expensive. Additionally, some reworking is necessary, and taking all the returned goods to consignment claim would be advantageous. It costs money to measure every extension value for a fault. Lean manufacturing must therefore be used in order to assist and advance Malaysia's automotive industry's efforts to improve product quality. The purpose of this study is to address the issue of defects in the painting process by adopting Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in lean manufacturing.
