FIRST PASS YIELD

IMPROVEMENT OF
THERMISTOR VISION

CHAPTER 1: RESEARCH BACKGROUND
 The current manufacturing scenario is focused on
improving the process by reducing rejections and
improving first pass yield (FPY)
 This project to focus on internal quality improvement to
reduce rejection in a Thermistor Vision in Battery Pack
Assembly Line, which was having around 10.5% scrap.
A substantial improvement of around 60% we estimated
after the completion of work.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
 There are some problems in production line assembly which
are low pass yield, too many rework and low output per day.
 This problem has negatively impacted the number of output
per day because the false reject and low first pass yield .
 A possible cause of this problem is operators not alert and
follow the standard of operation that have been given,
machine not in good condition and the defect from incoming
material .
 Perhaps a study which investigates the root cause of the
problem that occur in this company can be solve by “seven
basic quality control (QC) tools” and also why-Why analysis
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
Aligning to the research statement, following objectives
being developed:
 To identify the existing production process of
Thermistor Vision in battery pack assembly
 To study the effectiveness of present training mechanism
provided for operator
RESEARCH QUESTION
 The research questions were constructed according to the
objectives of the research. The creation to achieve the
goal will be instructed by endeavoring to answer the
following research:
 What is the existing production process of battery pack
assembly ?
 What is the effectiveness of present training mechanism
provided for operator ?
SCOPE OF STUDY
 Vanue: Microtronic Technology Sdn Bhd at Tampoi,
Johor.
 Product: Battery Pack for Vacuum

 The study will focus on Thermistor Vision in Battery

Pack Assembly Line
CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

IV DV
CHAPTER3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
 Primary data – Qualitative
 Interview

 To achieve the objectives of study the existing

production process flow, the data that will collected by
interview the Engineer in the Microtronics Technology
Sdn. Bhd.
 Besides, the operator also will be interview because they
are directly hands on to the product.
CHAPTER 4: RESULT AND DISCUSSION
 Why-Why analysis for potential Cause .
 Why? – The operator causes misalignment.

 Why? – As the parts are held without support.

 Why? – They assume the fixture realigns the internal

components.
 To check if there were any misalignments, technician are
always monitoring the jig that operator used for bending the
thermistor without causing the reduction in quality.
 The operator update their training record every month and
strictly will be audit by quality.
 Hence, if we concluded that the method of assembly needs to
change or the design of fixture needs to be further developed.
PROCESS FLOW
CONCLUSION
 It is concluded that Thermistor Vision assembly
rejections are reduced from 10.5% to 4.5% after
improvement. Management involvement and Team effort
are essential to reduce the FPY.
 All the objective is achived.
