Description
Summary:Numerous automotive operators are concerned with ensuring the homogeneity in the colors of different parts that compose their products. This quality objective of primary importance is especially challenging when the parts are sourced by different suppliers. The technical difficulties are accentuated when metallic or pearly paints are used since the presence of metallic chips in the paint causes a variation in the color according to the angle of observation. The present study responds if it is appropriate to use the spectrophotometer as the only decisive device for evaluating colors. To achieve this, critical colors and significant parameters affecting colors are identified, design of experiments is used to optimize the process settings, and a correlation study allows further process improvement Also, this case study therefore illustrates how quality tools can be used in a rigorous search for process improvement toward total color mastering with zero defect objective.
