Machines & Process/Capabilities & Controls

All Major Manufacturing Machines & Process done in NRPL are regularly controlled and Cp, Cpk values are analysed for all major Manufacturing Machines & Testing equipments & various processes. Various statistical process control (SPC) measures are taken to monitor & steer the process in control. Control Plans together with PFD & FMEA are methodically followed for product & Process Consistency.

Material Flow are focused to provide minimum lead time and to eliminate process wastes. KAIZEN, 5S, Kanban, Taguchi and other methods are also targeted for better productivity and quality improvement, lead time reduction, costing efficiency etc.
