Optimization of casting defects analysis with supply chain in cast iron foundry process

Some of the foundries are in need of meeting production targets and due to the urgency they ignore the rejections. The objective of this paper is to analyze the various defects, [1] from molding process in a cast iron foundry. The Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) in quality control [2-6] with suitable supply chain for mold making process considering rejection rates are identified and analyzed in terms of Risk Priority Number (RPN) to prioritize the attention for each of the problem. The optimum levels of selected parameters [7] are obtained in this analysis
