Implementation of FMEA for Process Improvement in Machine Woven Carpet Production

Türkçe

In this study, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is applied in a carpet production facility, with the aim of enhancing productivity through the elimination of the most critical failures. A comprehensive analysis was conducted to investigate the most frequent faults encountered over a six-month period, whereby the frequency of occurrence for each type of failure was documented. The Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) for each failure mode were subsequently assigned by the FMEA team. Then, a thorough root cause analysis was conducted, leading to the implementation of targeted preventative measures. After implementation of preventive measures, analysis revealed a significant reduction in predetermined failures when compared to former situation. Specifically, a remarkable 75% decline in scrape failures, a 28.57% reduction in abrage failures, and a 59.82% decrease in corner burning failures were determined.
