The Research Road Less Travelled for Injection Moulding (IM) Process Development
8 minutes readKey Takeaways Software tools like Moldex, Sigmasoft, and mould flow simulation have significantly advanced IM process development by predicting defects and cycle time before mould manufacturing, though optimization through DOE-based software remains limited to few players. Process revalidation remains a major cost burden because machine parameter transparency is insufficient to mathematically predict process windows when […]
What is Root Cause Analysis? A Guide for Manufacturing and Process Improvement
7 minutes readKey Takeaways RCA is about finding the correct cause of a problem, without it, corrective actions are directionless and defects are likely to recur. Correlation is not causation, the most common mistake in RCA is casually linking two correlated factors without validating a true cause-and-effect relationship. Key data is often missing or incomplete, making it […]
