This document summarizes a Six Sigma Green Belt project to reduce scrap costs from perpendicularity issues in cylinder bores. The team includes Syed Salman Abbas and four others. They define the problem as improving the process sigma level from 2.439 to 2.68, reducing scrap costs by $45,000. Their project will analyze perpendicularity between the cylinder bore and base flange at Operation 10 by October 2010.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.

10. Quick WinsQuick Wins
• Increase operator efficiency
Operators are required to check perpendicularity every 1/2 hour. But the process is stable
enough that such frequent inspection is not required.
Reduce inspection frequency for perpendicularity from 1/2 hour to 1 hour.
• Implement lessons learnt from 50zd5 clamp study
It was proven by experiments on model 50zd5 that changing clamp from toggle-type to
screw-type reduces the process variation.
Replace toggle clamps with screw clamps. See next slide for data.
• Modify gaging method
Current gaging system used at op10 and final-inspection does not correlate with
CMM measurements.
Use different gaging method. This system is also easier to read for operators.

Solution:
Short term: Implement “Layered Audit” form at Operation 10.
Long term: Use heat treated clamp plate, clamp threads,

fixture.
Problem:
Clamp screw is made of soft material. It therefore wears out
quickly. A worn clamp screw will cause play in screw, and
thus part won’t be able to clamped securely.
Control:

• Selected three random springs from the box.
• Calculated spring rate ‘k’ for each spring.
k = (applied force) / (displacement)
spring 1: k = 38.38 lb/in.
spring 2: k = 28.81 lb/in.
spring 3: k = 7.62 lb/in.
• Ran parts with each spring in fixture.
49. Effect of spring inEffect of spring in “half-moon”“half-moon”
IMPROVE/ CONTROL
Pearson coefficient (r)
of Perp and k (lb/in.) = 0.823
• High value of ‘r’ suggests that correlation exists between
spring ‘k’ and perpendicularity. Perpendicularity improves
for low values of ‘k’.
• Operator prefers lighter spring, because such a spring
does not require the part to be pressed down hard.
• Therefore spring with low ‘k’ value is desirable.
50. Effect of spring inEffect of spring in “half-moon”“half-moon”
IMPROVE/ CONTROL
Problem:
• Spring force can have effect on perpendicularity, but spring is
selected randomly at the time of setup.
Solution:
• Standardize the spring to be used in fixture. Use only the
standard spring.
• A spring with low ‘k’ value is selected (see last slide).
• 25 parts are run with this spring, and variability analyzed.
Control:
Establish SAP number for spring for purchasing.
51. Problem:
Parts are checked once-per-shift on Global CMM. But
the results of perpendicularity readings are not reliable.
Solution:
Start measuring parts on Zeiss CMM (the same method as
used by the customer).

• Achieved the six sigma goal.
• The sigma level is expected to go up further after
implementation of suggested changes.
56. • Perpendicularity problem originates from op 10.
• Lack of adequate measuring system compounded the loss. The
measuring system was modified during the course of the project.
• The process capability is acceptable.
• The root cause of problem is part not sitting flush against the
fixture at op 10.
• Several reasons were identified, and controls were suggested
for each of the reason.
• Similar controls will be put in place for other models as well.
