Production System Improvement by Integration of FMEA with 5-Whys Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the rapid growth of semiconductor industry, manufacturers are always seeking for improvement to produce better product quality with lower cost in order to survive under competitive marketing environment. However, these matters are easily affected by the failures occurred on the machines. Thus, this paper proposes framework using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) with 5-Whys analysis to discover the root cause of the failure furthermore to identify the effective solutions. Drilling machine has been used to justify the practicability of the proposed framework.
