INTRODUCTION FOR PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING DEFECTS PREVENTION & ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

Specifically designed for the practicing designer and molder.

This workshop focuses on prevention methods for defects and developing systematic root cause analysis skills. For solving molded-part defects and improving part quality problems.

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES

  • How to prevent defects from occurring in the first place?
  • Eighty % of plastic parts problems originate from poor design.
  • Gap analysis between DFM (Design for Manufacturing best practices) and your actual problems
  • Root cause analysis
  • Troubleshooting injection moulding defects in a systematic manner
  • Implementing sustainable measures in place to prevent defects recurrence
  • Scientific explanations on why these problems occur

 

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is recommended for those who wish to improve their preventive & problem solving skills in plastic injection moulding design and process. It is also highly beneficial to companies aiming to improve productivity and optimise their injection moulding design and process methodology. A variety of people will benefit from this course. They include:

  • Managers
  • Designers
  • Engineers
  • Executives
  • Supervisors
  • Technicians
  • Any technical personnel involved with plastic injection moulded parts

 

PREREQUISITE

  • Participants must already have the basics of injection moulding technology.
  • Customer to provide ahead 5 top common issues that they have and the specific parts so that the trainer can use these as case studies during the training for optimum training effectiveness.

 

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

  • Interactive and action based with personal examples.
  • Combination of short lectures, visual presentations, workshops, demonstrations, simulations, and games.
  • More emphasis is placed on workshops to allow the participants to learn the material presented in a fun and easy manner.

 

DURATION

  • 14 hours online

  • Troubleshooting Procedures and Logic
    • How to effectively approach, analyze, and implement troubleshooting procedures.

 

  • Exploring Root Causes
    • Explore the root causes of the various defects from the perspective of the plastic material as it fills, compresses, and cools within the cavity.

 

  • Part Defectives and Potential Solutions
    • How to avoid potential design-related problems?
    • How to optimize the part quality with process-related solutions?

 

  • Troubleshooting Guides (The Good, The Bad, The Efficient)
    • A comparison of the different troubleshooting guide formats, including which tend to be most effective for solving molded part problems.

 

  • Evaluating Attendees’ Molded Part Samples
    • Defective part samples brought in by the participants will be discussed in a group format.
    • An understanding by the participants of the processing conditions or a current process set-up sheet will greatly facilitate this discussion.
