AuE$869$Course$Project $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Greer,$SC

• Analyzed$the$performance$of$an$installation$process$for$a$panoramic$roof$assembly$of$BMW$X3$$

• Defined$ the$ assembly$ process$ consisting$ of$ threaded$ fasteners$ attached$ by$ a$ controlled$ nutrunner$

torquing$operation$termed$as$AFCS$tools$using$SIPOC$

• Examined$the$process$consistency$and$dependence$using$SPC$tools$(run,*XbarUR*charts)$and$identified$

the$out$of$control$conditions$

• Calculated$the$Process$capability$employing$Cp$and$Cpk$values$$

bellows$and$lubricant$seal$by$conducting$root*cause*analysis$applying$5M$methodologies$$

• Developed$ a$ regression* model$ investigated$ the$ relationship$ of$ torque$ and$ final$ angle$ to$ the$ noise$

defect$and$identified$that$there$is$no$correlation$*
