Many Failures In Manufacturing

Many Failures In Manufacturing

Many Failures In Manufacturing

(OP)
Dear everyone,

Question. I have opened some topic about bolts/screws (cold heading and thread rolling only) manufacturing already but this is a bit different question.
I noticed that on this forum isn't allowed to say contact details (messengers, e-mails,..) but could anyone please point me to the correct person or website; I would like to know how should I prevent many failures that are happening while bolts/screws are being manufactured. I am interested about preventive and not coorective (such as: bigger frequency of measuring, thats coorective) solutions.
Does anyone know who should I contact and name to him the failure so I could get solution to it?
I have already tried Intota website but I cannot afford their prices - they are a way too expensive and I don't know any other online consulting / 1 on 1 training website.

I know that Im asking indirect question and not direct one but hopefully someone could still help who should I contact. I would give my skype id but, as the rules of the forum says, Im not allowed to.

Thank you...

RE: Many Failures In Manufacturing

Try the American Society for Quality Control.  They have guidelines on sampling frequency and many members have developed preventive programs for failure mitigation.

RE: Many Failures In Manufacturing

To summarize your question:

You are looking for a consultant to help you improve the quality of your screw machine production.

You might poke around here http://www.pmpa.org/

It's very likely that the person you need is a member.

MintJulep there is no forum on this site listed in menu, no members with contacts listed also. Any other ideas? I have contacted countless of cold heading and thread rolling companies but no respond. Been working on this for months.

RE: Many Failures In Manufacturing

What you are primarily looking for is a Manufacturing Engineer to
identify and correct your problem (s) then implement Quality
Control Measures to control it.
  
Below are links to Tooling U (Society of manufacturing Engineers) I definately would contact them for some specific guidance.

Look under Quality on the pull down menu.

Here is their pricing schedule for an individual.  This one is based on a monthly subscription rate.

unclesyd I already have problems identified but I need solutions to them. For each of them I need few (it can be up to four) solutions - what should be done so this failure won't occur again. So I need preventive and not corrective solution.
If I had just one failure and needed solution, I would name it here. For example one of failures that I would like to get solutions for is:

Breaking of cross on the bolt's head (related to cold heading)

but if I would list, here on this forum, every single failure after receiving the reply on the previouns one, this topic would have quiet a few pages. However, failures, that I need solutions for, are still not so many - less than 20. But I don't think anyone would have so much patience with me here, I might be wrong also.

unclesyd, regarding the link which you gave me, I don't see so called "Class Name" which is relevant to my project of Quality Assurance. I also tried to use keywords "cold heading" and "thread rolling" but nothing found. I would for sure found on Intota (www.intota.com) some experts with who I would be able to finish and answer all the questions that I have for all failures under two hours of conversation. I need just solutions, nothing else.
