Statistical Process Control And Manufacturing Cost Analysis: A Case Study Of ABC Manufacturing Limited

Abstract

This paper explores the application of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and its relationship with manufacturing costs in a production setting. The study focuses on ABC Manufacturing Limited, a company that produces brake components for the automobile industry. Three trials are conducted to observe how variations in spindle speed, feed rate, and cutting depth affect production quality and manufacturing costs. The results demonstrate how process capability analysis and SPC can optimize manufacturing processes, reduce costs, and ensure product quality within specification limits. The paper discusses the methodology, analysis, and conclusions drawn from the data collected, illustrating how SPC tools can be effectively integrated into production for continuous improvement.
