1. INTRODUCTION
Problems are everywhere but there is a solution to each problem (Sharma 2012; Sharma
2013b). In industries, one has to encounter various problems for example low productivity,
increasing rejection, not meeting the delivery schedules, improper inventory control,
increasing wastage, unmanaged shop floor etc (Sharma & Kadyan 2016b) (Sharma 2013a).
Various case studies have been reported which shows productivity improvement by focusing
on a particular problem solving project. Some uses methodology like six sigma (Edgeman &
Dugan 2008; Falcon et al. 2012; Biswas & Chowdhury 2016; Kaushik et al. 2017; Kaushik &

Mittal 2015b; Kaushik, Prikshit, et al. 2016; Kaushik, Mittal, et al. 2016; Kaushik et al. 2012),
other uses advance product quality planning (APQP) (Mittal, Kaushik, et al. 2010; Sharma &
Kadyan 2016; Mittal, Khanduja, et al. 2010; Mittal et al. 2011; Mittal et al. 2012; Shrotri et al.
2015), quality function deployment (QFD) (Mittal & Kaushik 2011; Akao 1997), quality
circle (Abo-Alhol et al. 2005; Mittal & Prajapati 2014) and many more (Sharma & Kadyan
2015; (Mittal et al. 2017a; Mittal, Tewari & Khanduja 2016; Mittal et al. 2017b; Mittal,
Tewari, Khanduja, et al. 2016; Kaushik & Mittal 2015a; Gupta et al. 2011; Oakland 1990;
Boaden 1997). All implementations have been successful yielding favourable results. Doing
effects accurately and keeping them reliable is the basic idea behind any quality management
technique (Sharma & Kadyan 2015a) (Sharma 2017b) (Sharma 2017a). Present case study
was performed at a firm manufacturing steering system and its parts for major overall
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across the globe. The organization is located in the state of
Haryana, India. It holds the reputation of being sole supplier of steering system to major
OEMs in India. Industry was facing a major problem in one of the parts of steering assembly.
Five phased Six-sigma DMAIC methodology (Figure 1) is used which includes various
quality tools, some basic statistics and Minitab software for complex calculations and graphs
etc.

Figure 2 Process Mapping
Process starts with centering and facing operation performed on a raw shaft to make it
near perfect size and preparing it for further operation. After that pre roll diameter turning is
performed and at last serration rolling operation is performed. This operation is basically a
rolling operation but the beauty of this operation is to produce splines on the outer periphery
of shaft with ease. Further a process flow diagram (figure 3) was drawn to show the route
followed in manufacturing of the part.

Figure 4 shows the final part photograph along with serration inspection gauge used by
inspection person for in process inspection. This shaft is used in the rack and pinion assembly
in the steering assembly of the automobile as shown in figure 5 and 6.

3. MEASURE
After defining the problem, next phase is measure (Jaglan, Pawan; Kaushik, Parbhakar;
Khanduja 2011)(Kaushik & Kumar 2017). In this phase the true extent of the problem is
measured. It was done by constructing appropriate graphical representations. Analysis on the
rejected parts shows the different causes of rejection of shafts. A Pareto chart (figure 7) was
drawn which showed the clear picture. Among various causes of rejection such as serration
mismatch, Major diameter oversize and undersize, Pinion diameter oversize and undersize
and handling damage or marks, serration mismatch came out to be major contributor with 56
% of the total rejection. The average production of the shaft was 72000 shafts per month and
the running rejection parts per million (PPM) was 770 (figure 8). Target was set to bring
down the rejection ppm and achieve six sigma level.

Figure 8 Six Months Rejection Status
A cost analysis in the form of cost of poor quality (COPQ) was also done to highlight the
effect of poor quality in monetary terms (Table 1). It was found that this single part was ill
effecting a revenue by Rs. 28962 per annum. Considering the similar problems in similar
models of other parts made this loss up to Rs. 500000 which is a substantial amount.

4. ANALYSIS
As the response of the problem is attributing therefore first step was to convert this response
in some measurable terms. For these two terms diameter over pin (DOP) and major diameter
as shown in figure 9 were chosen.
Figure 9 DOP & Major Diameter Measurement Description
8 OK and 8 Not good (NG) parts were collected from the production floor and arranged in
ascending order of the values of above described parameters (Table 2). Paired comparison
was applied and as the table shows that DOP was the major contributor of the problem
because of greater end counts. Table also shows complete segregation of ok and NG parts in
case of DOP and therefore a range of <0.050 was set for the DOP value. Now for finding the
possible causes of higher DOP value a fishbone diagram was generated (figure 10).

Table 2 Paired Comparison for Finding Major Contributor
Figure 10 Fishbone Diagram
With the help of fishbone diagram six causes along with their analysis method were
chosen. These suspected sources of variations are listed in table 3. Choice of analysis method
depends on various factors like type of data available, nature of process/part, applicability etc.

First of all hardness was taken into consideration by paired comparison method. 8 Good
and 8 Bad parts were collected from the production line and arranged in ascending order of
the value of DOP. Here in table 4 the highest and lowest value of hardness was from same
category i.e. bad therefore hardness was not proved to be a cause for the response.

Secondly pre roll diameter & run out were taken into consideration using B & C method.
6 good parts were taken for C category and 6 good parts were taken for B category. A
comparison chart was created as shown in table 5.
Table 5 B vs C for Pre-Roll Diameter Turning and Run Out
After that paired comparison was drawn from the readings of table 5. As evident from
table 6 the total count comes out be 4.5 which is less than 6. Therefore pre roll diameter and
runout were not proved to be the ultimate cause too.

Now we moved onto our third SSV i.e. backlash eliminator tightening by multi-vary
analysis. Under multi-vary analysis basically three types of variations are checked. These are
categorised as part to part variation, stream to stream and time to time variation. A data
collection scheme was designed as shown in figure 11. Data was collected for a period of two
shifts with 13 time blocks over a set of two rollers (table 7). Minitab software was used to
calculate analysis of variance (ANOVA) where it was clear that the major component of
variation was part to part variation which came out to be 96.43%. The multi-vary response
chart vs time (figure 12) put a stamp on our findings. The main reason for part to part
variation was backlash eliminator loosening. Therefore our main objective was to work upon
the backlash eliminator and eradicate the problem.

5. IMPROVE AND CONTROL
Rigorous brainstorming sessions were held and the help of each employee associated with the
process was taken before reaching following possible ways of correcting the problem.
1. Frequently tightening of backlash eliminator.
2. To do Preventive Maintenance analysis for backlash eliminator looseness.
3. Interlocking for motor load in the machine for backlash loosening.
Before implementing the corrective measures another group discussion session was held
in which discussion on each above listed option was done. Discussing about first option of
frequent tightening of backlash eliminator it was observed that it is an operator oriented
operation. We have to fully depend on the operator skill and dedication for this option to be a
success. Therefore we could not rely on that option as it is not a poka-yoke. Second option
was to implement preventive maintenance program. This programme was initiated and its
implementation is still in process. The results of this option will be visible in long term
successful running of the programme. Third option was interlocking for motor load in the
machine. Before further discussing on this option it was agreed to test the correlation between
backlash eliminator looseness and motor load. When plotted it showed a strong correlation of
the order of 0.92 (figure 13). Hence it was concluded that by governing motor load (ampere),
the backlash loosening can be controlled.
For determine the motor load value (Ampere) correlation between DOP RANGE & Motor
Load (Ampere) was analyzed (figure 14). Three distinct groups were visible from correlation
graph. Group-1(3.8 amp~4.1amp) with a correlation value of 0.77. Group-2(4.1 amp~4.3amp)
with a correlation value 0.20 and group-3(4.3 amp~4.9amp) with a correlation value 0.58.
After discussing with the persons associated with the process it was agreed to fix the motor
load value between 4.0 ~4.25 Amperes. Before proceeding further a final validation was done
by using Better vs Current method. Three parts each were taken from the production done on
existing and improved parameters. Result showed complete portrayal of the improvement.
Now it was evident that the improved parameters have brought radical results. Therefore the
changes were documented and an editing has been made in the control plan of the process to
eliminate any future ambiguity.

6. CONCLUSION
The main focus of this case study is problem solving in industrial environment through six-
sigma implementation and acquiring desired results working as a team. Efficacious
implementation of the corrective actions suggested by the team brought down the rejection
level from 770 ppm to 1.6 ppm. This indeed is a great achievement. The case study also
brought monetary benefits. Estimated cost benefits were calculated to about Rs. 70000 for this
part and when same measures were applied to similar products it arose to Rs. 300000
approximately. Talking about intangible benefits organization was able to achieve employee
motivation, appraisal, personnel development, sense of team work and many similar project
initiation. Authors strongly suggests the execution of such projects throughout the different
working areas in industries across the globe.
