ABSTRACT
High class quality and its management have become the key aspect and have a big impact on
production system of the companies especially on the product sector rather than in the service
sector. Continuous quality improvement helps to attain customer satisfaction and overall system
improvement. It is important to choose the right one for the right organization. In the current
plastic production system of bruhtesfa irrigation and water technology PLC there is higher
wastage or scrape during the production process. Thisresearch can help to recognize what are the
main cause of high scrape rate using application of statistical quality control tools and cause and
effect diagram. And what step should take to eradicating such problems. The main aim of this
project to apply statistical quality control tools and to reduce wastage rate of the production
system of bruhtesfa irrigation and water technology PLC.According to the data analysis the
80%of wastage rate is due to HDPE 01 and HDPE 02 Machines and the main cause of the higher
wastage rate are operational and power interruption cause which is about 83%. Thus this project
try reduce the effect of these causes.
And this project recommends the company should apply statistical quality control tools and
Regular training should be given for the operator to improve their skill, continous follow up and
training session should be made by the management, and the company should taken an action of
punishement and reward for the employee’s. and applying or instaling diferent kind of power
source with minimum cost inorder to reduce the effect of power interaption ex solar power
source or instaling automatic generator.

2 Literature review
2.1 The basic introduction of quality
Quality is important issue in modern competitive business world. Like the theory of relativity
quality is sometimes expressed as relative concept and can be different things to different people.
Sometimes people visualize quality in Absolut term and for them it can be compared with beauty
and sweetness. According to them it can be compared with certain absolute characteristics and
the products and services must achieve a preset standards in order to obtain a quality rating.
Quality can be defined in many ways ranging from satisfying customers’ requirements to fitness
for use to conformance to requirements. It is obvious that any definition of quality should include
customer’s satisfying whom must be the primary goal of any business. Experience during the last
two decades in the U.S. and world markets has clearly demonstrated that quality is one of the
most important factors for business success and growth. Business achieving higher quality in
their products enjoy significant advantage over their competition. Hence it is important that the
personnel responsible for the design and development, and manufacture the products understand
properly the concept and techniques used to improve the quality of the products.
Quality has been defined in different ways by various authors:-
7
BRUH TESFA INTERNSHIP INDUSTRIAL PROJECT
1. Performance: this is the basic characteristics of products “will the product did the intended
function?
2. Feature: what does the product do beyond the basic function?
3. Aesthetics: how the product looks, feels sounds, tastes and or smells“what the product look
like”?
4. Durability: a measure of product life“how long the product last”?
5. Reliability: probability of the product falling with in specified period of time “how often the
product fails”?
6. Serviceability: the speed, courtesy, competence, and ease of repair and recovery“how easy
is to repair the product”?
7. Perceived quality: varies tangible and intangible aspects of the product which quality
inferred “what is the reputation of the company selling this products”?
8. Conformance: the degree to which a product meets acknowledged standard “how the
product meet the requirement or is the product made as a design”?

At the individual level, stress, fatigue, absenteeism, demotivation and poor moral were identified
as indirect results of rework. At the organizational level, reduced profit, diminished professional
image, intra organizational conflict and loss of future work were identified as the indirectly
linked to rework (love, 2002b).
One of the productivity elements that could be affected by rework is the dilution of supervision.
It had been suggested that rework lead to diversion of which in turn diluted.
Higher quality goods take more time and labor and higher quality raw materials to produce and
drive to greater productivity almost always means diminution a quality. An exception is in cause
where standardization and precision mean a significant increase of a quality, as in machine parts,
which can be made more standard and more precise by machine which is also more efficient.
And productivity is the relationship between a given amount of output and the amount of input

needed to produce it. Profitability results when money is left over from sales after costs are paid.
The expenditure made to ensure that the product or services meets quality specification affect the
final or overall cost of the products and services.

Figure 6 graphical representation of fishbone diagram
Steps of constructing cause and effect diagram
1. First, clearly identify and define the problem or effect for which the causes must be
identified. Place the problem or effect at the right or the head of the diagram.
2. Identify all the broad areas of the problem.
12
BRUH TESFA INTERNSHIP INDUSTRIAL PROJECT
3. Write in all the detailed possible causes in each of the broad areas.
4. Each cause identified should be looked upon for further more specific causes.
5. View the diagram and evaluate the main causes.
6. Set goals and take action on the main causes
Note This is called the fishbone diagram because it looks like the skeleton of a fish. The
problem is the head, the major causes of a problem are the “ribs”, and the detailed causes are the
small bones.
2. Check sheet
The check sheet is a form or document used in real time at the location where the data is
generated. The data it captures can be quantitative or qualitative. When the information is
quantitative the check sheet is sometimes called a tally sheet.
Tools that used for collecting and organizing measured or counted data.
To check the shape of the probability distribution of a process.
To quantify defect by type.
To quantify defects by the location happen.
To quantify defects by the cause machine or worker.
To keep track of the completion of steps in a multistep procedure
Types of check sheet
1. Defective cause check sheet
Used to identify cause of problem or defect.
More than one variable or attribute is monitored when collecting data for this type of check
sheets ex we could be collecting data about the type of machine, operator data, and time in
the same check sheet
Operators T i m e Machine 1 Machine 2
Operator A M o r n i n g X X
Afternoon X x X x x x x
Operator B M o r n i n g X X x
Afternoon X x x x x x x x x x
As we can see mot of error is occurring at machine 2 and at the afternoon shift. This could
suggest that machine 2 has problems when it is run in the afternoon.
2. Defective item (attribute) check sheet
Used to identify what type of problem or defects are occurring in the process
Usually these check sheets will have a list of defects or problems that may occur in the
process
13
BRUH TESFA INTERNSHIP INDUSTRIAL PROJECT
When each sample is taken, mark is placed in the appropriate column whenever a defects or a
problems has been identified.
Countable data is used in the defective item check sheets.

3. Pareto charts
They are actually histograms aided by the 80/20 rule adapted by Joseph Juran.
Note Remember the 80/20 rule states that approximately 80% of the problems are created by
approximately 20% of the causes. This is the economic concept that Juran applied to quality
problems. The meaning behind that 80/20 rule is that there are vital few causes that create the
problems.

First, information must be selected based on types or classifications of defects that occur as a
result of a process.
The data must be collected and classified into categories.
Then a histogram or frequency chart is constructed showing the number of occurrences
The role of industrial engineer in quality measurement and improvement:Resolve quality related
issues in all aspects of the business. Work with design and production teams outsources
manufacturers to ensure quality products is maintained during the design and production. Audit
defined process and procedure to ensure that they are being allowed. Coordinate and facilitate 3 rd
party quality audits. Provide refresher training on the procedure of the company personnel on
quality and process related issues. Including the use of analytical tools and techniques such as
SQC, SPC, and Six Sigma.

3 Research Methodology
This chapter summarizes the techniques employed in carrying out this internship project. It
describes the data collection and analysis technique used.
3.1 Data collection methods used
The data collection method employed are described below.
3.1.1 Primary data collection
Direct observation
During the four months internship time in biruhtesfa watching how the company works and try
to see what are the main bottlenecks and try to figure out some solution to the problems in the
company.
Unstructured interview
The data was collected by conducting interview with production manager and the representatives
of the production manager who have a role of managing the operation of the plant and maintain
plant records and the daily operator.
3.1.2 Secondary data collection
Written materials in the organization like reports, plans, manuals, feasibility research of
the company etc. and the historical data collect from their manual.
Referring to some books and Handouts related to the study.
Using website
3.2 Data analysis tools used
Using application the different SQC tools
1. Pareto chart :
First in order to analysis using Pareto chart in order to find the appropriate amount of scrape or
wastage that is contributed by which machine is the highest amount of scrape. Then according to
the rule of Pareto chart the 80% of the cause of the wastage or scrape is the main contributor to
the wastage of the company. So I try to find out the main machines that contributes to the higher
part of the wastage.
Secondly using the same procedure of Pareto chart analysis I try to figure out the main cause of
the higher scrape or wastage rate with in the higher scrape rate contributor machine. Then try
traduce the effect of these contributor using different recommendation.
2. Cause and effect diagram
Using the cause and effect diagram try to find out the main cause of the of the higher scrape rate
of the higher scrape rate machines. This cause and effect diagram helps the operators easily
understand the main cause of higher wastage rate.

Figure 9 data analysis of the cause of the scrape using Pareto chart
In this data analysis of the different causes of the scrape rate about 88% of the scrape is produced
due to operational cause and power interruption causes. Thus the company should more
concentrate on reduction of these causes using different methods
During the three months’ time index from the first three tables about the higher scrape rate is
produced in the HDPE machines.From the summarized data table the total scrape rate produce
with in this index time is about 4300 KG. From the above cumulative data table about the 48.5%
scrape are produced due to the operational problems. And about 39.4% of the total scrape rate is
produced due to the power interruption.
Thus from the total scrape rate about the 87.9% is produced due to the operational and power
interruption causes.
Thus the scrape rate about 3778 or about 87.9% is produced due to the operational and power
interruption causes.
Thus using application of the SQC which is like Pareto chart the company can reduce the
wastage rate or scrape rate about 3778 KG. If the company reduces the wastage which increase
productivity.

In biruhtesfa many workers of the company their main concern on the amount they produce that
leads to decrease the quality of production of the company. The cause and effect diagram shows
that the main cause of the higher rate of scrape is mainly due to the following reasons.
1. Power interruption: lack of additional generator in the time of power interruption, and
maybe lack of skilled operators knows how to fix when the power supply is outage.
2. Operational:care less ness of the operator, lack of training,fatigue, poor work ethics, and
lack of process skill.
3. Machine set up: lack of punctuality, care less of operator, problem related to machine
itself, negligence, and lack of skill.
4. Mechanical: due to failure of mechanical part of the machines.
5. Electrical: due to failure of the electrical part of the machine.

5 Result and discussion
5.1 Result and discussion of the different machines scrape rate using Pareto chart
The HDPE 01 machine contribute about 39.4% scrape rate and the HDPE 02 machine contribute
about 38.6%.both the HDPE 01 and HDPE 02 contribute about 78% which is the highest value
of scrape.
Thus as the result shows that about 78% of the scrape rate is produced due to the HDPE 01 and
HDPE 02 machines so the best solution is to reduce the crape rate produced in these
machines.The company should concentrate in those machines since contribute the greater
amount. The Pareto chart rule suggests 80% to 20% rule, this means the main cause are the
80%.Thus the company should try to concentrate on HDPE 01 and HDPE 02 machines.
5.2 Result and discussion of the causes of the scrape rate in HDPE machine PARETO chart
During the three months’ time index from the first three tables about the higher scrape rate is
produced in the HDPE machines. From the summarized data table the total scrape rate produce
with in this index time is about 4300 KG. From chapter four cumulative data table about the
48.5% scrape are produced due to the operational problems And about 39.4% of the total scrape
rate is produced due to the power interruption.
Thus from the total scrape rate about the 87.9% is produced due to the operational and power
interruption causes.
And the scrape rate about 3778 kg or about 87.9% is produced due to the operational and power
interruption causes.
Thus using application of the SQC which is like Pareto chart the company can reduce the
wastage rate or scrape rate about 3778 KG. If the company reduces the wastage which increase
productivity.
5.3 Result and discussion of the cause of the scrape using fishbone diagram
Fishbone or cause and effect diagram is a visualization tool for categorizing the potential causes

6 Conclusion and recommendation
This chapter presents summary of findings in chapter four, the conclusions and recommendations
made there from.
6.1 Conclusion
According the data analysis using Pareto chart about 87% of the scrape rate is produced due to
the operational and power interruption causes
And using the fish bone diagram the causes of wastage rate are operational, power interruption,
and machine set up.
Currently biruhtesfa irrigation and water technology PLC applies quality management but there
are some quality problems in the production process. In the company there is high rate of scrape
rate. There are some main causes for this high scrape rate and some unknown cause.
Those are: Operational, Power interruption causes are the main causes of high scrape rate that
contribute about 87% which about 48% is due to operational cause and about 39% is due to
power interruption and the other causes are mechanical,electrical, machine set up and other
cause are contributes only about 13%.
6.2 Recommendation
Inbiruhtesfa irrigation and water technology PLC the causes of the higher scrape rate is
operational cause, mechanical cause, electrical cause, machine set up cause, and power
interruption cause and other cause source.
But the main causes are operational and power interruption causesso the company should give
concern to these causes to reduce the effect of these causes.
Recommendation is applying statistical quality control tool that Pareto chart can reduce the
scrape rate by 87% and applying cause and effect diagram can help the workers easily
understand the main cause of the scrape rate and they try to reduce these cause e.g. try to make
skilled themselves.
According to the results of the Pareto chart the main causes are operational and power
interruption, so the company should try to reduce the effect these by using the following methods
1. For the operational cause the company:
Regular training should be given for the operator to improve their skill.
Continous follow up and training session should be made by the
management.
The company should taken an action of punishement and reward for the
employee’s.
Improving the work ethices of the employer’s.
Check and Set up the machine properly before production starts.
The different machine parts are should check regularly and change on time.
28
BRUH TESFA INTERNSHIP INDUSTRIAL PROJECT
2. Power interruption:
First, we need to designate a person in the shop become familiar with electrical
distribution system layout and design in the company
Identify critical loads that will require emergency power in the event of an
outage. Decide which equipment in the manufacturing company is critical during
outage. Clearly indicate the emergency loads on the line diagram.
Consider installing a permanent emergency generator dedicated to the equipment
marked as emergency load. This may be a better solution than relying on portable
generator that require being hooked-up after power has gone out. It is important
to know the running load of emergency circuit so you know what size generator
will be required. The kilowatt and voltage ratings of each generator needed
should be readily available before the outage to facilitate the response.
3. Appling the defective cause check sheet to identify the less skilled operators:
That can be used to identify cause of a problems or a defect and the operator who
cause many times scrape which help to give a training for those unskilled
operators.
