The document summarizes a project to improve the Cp and Cpk of roll crowning through reducing variation in roll profiles. It outlines the current process performance including high standard deviation and sigma rating of 1.11-2.76. Modifications were made to the data collection process and a measurement system study was conducted to analyze gauge repeatability and reproducibility. A cause and effect study identified a relationship between roll profile variation and moisture content deviation in the paper. The goal is to improve the sigma rating from the current 2.25 to 2.65 through applying DMAIC methodology to identify and implement solutions.

4. PROJECT CHARTER
General Information
Project Name:
Improvement in Cp, Cpk of Roll Crowning
Project No:
Project Location: Tribeni
Business Case: Reduction in variation of roll profile to avoid non uniform nip loading, nip width & mositure CD
profile in order to maintain product quality.
Project Details
Problem Statement: Profile variation of camber rolls leads to uneven Nip width of press/size rolls, which leads to moisture profile
variation in CD & paper break in the machine.
Goal/Objective: To improve roll crowning from existing level of 2.25 sigma rating (22.5% defects) to 2.65 sigma rating (12%
defects)
Project Scope:Paper Machine Roll
Project Constraints: Existing machine capability.
