Improvement of internal defect management and data flow
Índice
In recent years, with greater importance towards environmental concerns and consumption of more sustainable products, there has been an increase in demand for hybrid and electric vehicles (Otto et al., 2020). In their production electrical wiring is essential, serving as an energy conductor for the vehicle to function properly. Its production must be carried out under strict quality control, to avoid defective products and prevent serious accidents. For the construction of this vehicles high voltage wirings are produced, using recent and more powerful wires, that are being continuously developed, involving adjustments in the production line and changes in the production method (Nguyen & Bell, 2015; Otto et al., 2020).
This project focuses on the implementation of the Quality Data System (QDS) in a production area of High Voltage (HV) wirings. It will take place in a multinational scenario with the application of several concepts and Quality Tools used in the automotive industry, within the scope of Total Quality Management (TQM), in the perspective of Continuous Improvement. This improvement opportunity emerged also because there was not any team member completely focused on the area of internal defect analysis and investigation.
