Successfully completed one year long project in company on,“Study & Optimization of Molding Parameters, Rejection Analysis & Control in Injection Molding” and presented research paper on same.The objective of this project work is to study & develop process parameters & cut down the rejection rate of injection molded automotive components where products have suffered due to heavy rejection. Different quality tools like Pareto chart, causes & effect diagram can be used to overcome such difficulties with root causes analysis of the rejection. Standard operating procedure can be implemented as per the process parameters, analysis & study, and taking corrective action. This can be achieved by analyzing & root cause of the major problem.
