What went wrong

2LOUD1000 Project

BY MAKING MANUFACTURING PROCESS MORE ACCURATE

BY INCREASING THE FREQUENCY OF QUALITY CHECK AT PRODUCTION LINE

BY APPLYING A EXTRA FINAL QUALITY CHECK BEFORE PACKING THE PRODUCT

TO BE MORE SENSITIVE FOR SPECIFICATIONS AND QUALITY

WEEKLY PRODUCTION MEETING FOR CONTINUES IMPROVMENT

COLLECTING ALL THE FEEDBACKS FROM CUSTOMER

PUT QUALITY CONTROL PERSONNEL TO CHECK THE PARTS BEFORE RELEASED TO CUSTOMER

2LOUD1000 Project

We compressed the timeline B to order the 3-D printer from 8 weeks to 6 weeks

We will compress J, to produce 200 units from 2 weeks to 1 week

We will start the quality control check while we are producing 200 units

We will compress l, to finalize the manufacturing process from 3 weeks to 2 week
