KPO PUR02 Eliminate ceramic cores rework. Ceramic cores are parts used during wax injection to get internal complex shapes on the metallic part. These parts are purchased from external suppliers and received with many defects that need to be reworked.

Since the ceramic cores production line implementation is in progress in our Meghira business unit, we need a deep study on the ceramic cores process to eliminate defects from the beginning. Problem solving tools, ceramic material knowledge, SolidWorks, Kaizen 1 6 Months

KPO PUR03 Design and implement M38 one piece ceramic core (No JJ & HH) M38 part needs a ceramic core during wax injection to get the internal complex shape. Actually we are using a couple of ceramic cores to get that shape (JJ & HH). Due to the flatness variation between these cores, many defects appears later on metallic part especially the high positive metal. So, to eliminate defects related to ceramic cores JJ/HH, the idea is to design one piece ceramic core for M38 SolidWorks, Material Resistance, ceramic material knowledge, Kaizen 1 6 Months

Production PUR05 Continuous Improvement through Kaizen in Production The objective of this project is to implement Kaizen in the production department to optimize processes, reduce waste, and improve overall operational efficiency. The student will analyze current production workflows, identify areas of inefficiency, and apply Kaizen techniques for continuous improvement. By reducing non-value-added activities, the project aims to shorten lead times, improve product quality, and increase throughput.

The focus will be on waste elimination in key areas, such as:

  • Waiting Times: Reducing idle time between processes by streamlining transitions and improving process flow.
  • Defects: Enhancing quality control to reduce rework and scrap by implementing error-proofing techniques (Poka-Yoke) and more rigorous quality checks. Kaizen, PDCA, Spaghetti Diagrams, Root Cause Analysis, Factor Tree Analysis 6 6 Months
