5.2 Flywheel Housing
Thread Depth gauge should be used for 100% inspection.
Offset compensation should be properly given to the tool.
In-process inspection should be adopted more frequently.
Assembly of manufactured parts should be performed in such a way that it should work satisfactorily in the field to avoid customer dissatisfaction.
Preventive maintenance should be adopted as per the given schedule.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
The present work deals with the FMEA study of two products i.e. flywheel and flywheel housing. The basic requirements of the manufacturing processes are first studied and then the potential failure mode of the specific process is found out. After that the potential effects of the failure modes are noted with their severity value and then the potential causes and their prevention are calculated along with their occurrence value. The Detection value was assigned to the failure mode and finally the R.P.N value is calculated. FMEA analysis may easily help in improving the efficiency of the manufacturing process thus decreasing the number of defective products and saving of re-work cost and valuable time. For each specific product the preventions suggested in the chart can considerably decrease the loss to the casting industry in terms of both money and time.
