PROCESS.
Also, the company dedicates to the plastic injection. In engineering, injection molding is a
semi continuous process that involves injecting a polymer in a molten state (or rubberized)
in a mold closed under pressure and cold, through a small hole called a gate.

In this mold the material solidifies, beginning to crystallize in semi crystalline polymers. The
part or final part is obtained by opening the mold and removing the molded part from the
cavity.

Injection molding is a very popular technique for the manufacture of very different articles. In
this case the company is dedicated to injecting the vessels that are used for water, hoses,
among foals’ products.

DEVELOPMENT.
The basic process of manufacture of injection molding: the plastic is melted in the plastic
injection molding machine and then injected into a mold at high pressure. There, the material
is cooled, solidified and then released when the two halves of the mold are opened. This
technique results in a plastic product with a fixed and predetermined shape.

PROBLEM (ISSUE).
Unfortunately, in this case in the company there has been a rejection by the quality
department because the characteristics of the master batch are not complying with the
specifications that by regulations should have. It proceeds to notify the corresponding
departments (maintenance, operators, quality, supervisors); to carry out the immediate
resolution of this problem.
This flow diagram shows what is the common process of the plastic injection in a normal and
stable shift of work.
CHECK LIST.

A checklist was used to review what were the steps in the process in which the root of the
problem could have occurred.
ISHIKAWA DIAGRAM.

The ishikawa diagram was also used, as well as the application of the 6M's (Material, Labor,
Method, Machining, Measurements and Environment) that together with the 5 Why’s, it was
possible to locate the origin of the conflict and therefore the analysis, planning,
implementation of the necessary actions to solve it. In addition, at the end a complete review
of the process was carried out, with which contingency plans were made to prevent this
situation from having a major impact on the production of this product.
CONCLUSIÓN.
Finally, it was concluded that since the problem was in several zones, different modifications
were made. First in the change of raw material supplier, since this must cover with the
specifications that the company requests and that it requires to manufacture its product; in
second instance, the maintenance of the injector machine (mainly in the change of thermal
resistance, pyrometers, and thermocouples), since the machine must respect the
temperatures at which the polymer must be worked to obtain the desired properties and
quality . And finally, a modification of improvement in the hoppers of the machines since the
raw material must be filtered to ensure its maximum purity and cleanliness before being
poured into the fuel transfer and continue with the process.
CONTINGENCY PLANS.
But in any case, these conflicts have to be prevented by which contingency plans were
developed, which consist mainly in the addition of a neutral element to the raw material when
it is observed that the final product is defective, since with this element it is they can partially
improve the properties with which the final product will be obtained. And also the use of
continuous checklists to ensure the maximum review of the products in the quality
department before being delivered to customers.
