Material Waste - Excess Glue और Scrap Defects
Definition
Source [2] identifies 'excess glue, visible adhesive marks, weak bonding' as common adhesion defects requiring rework or disposal. Source [4] confirms excess glue among 'major defects.' Manual inspection cannot prevent adhesive overapplication; defects discovered post-drying require material scrapping. Slow root-cause identification (SGS [1] notes 'multiple steps may be necessary') delays corrective action, perpetuating waste.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹15-40 lakhs/year (estimated: 2-4% of COGS in material waste/disposal; typical manufacturer COGS ₹5-8 crore → ₹10-32 lakhs waste)
- Frequency: Continuous (per production shift)
- Root Cause: Adhesive over-application due to lack of real-time feedback; delayed defect detection prevents process correction; manual inspection cannot quantify adhesive excess in-line
