Refurbishment Of Plating Machine Unloader 304 Stainless Steel Track By DMAIC Approach

This project focused on improving the performance of Meco electroplating machine. The project was done using six sigma DMAIC approach. Remarkably, the historical data on the six sigma DMAIC approach showed that the unload pusher error have significant contribution in affecting the machine stability...
