Analysis of Environmental Aspects and Minimisation of the Negative Impact of Adhesive Bonding using Quality Management Tools
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the combined application of 5 Why and E-FMEA for evaluating of gluing technology, its quality and waste management.
Methodology/Approach: The research adopted a technical paper. The method of analysing the basic stages of gluing machine parts. Negative impact on the environment is described using algorithms, the Ishikawa diagram, 5 Whys, and 5W2H implemented from the area of quality management.
Findings: The study revealed significant influences and analyses of errors during the manufacturing, minimising of hazardous waste from gluing. The study revealed, based on an employee survey, the impacts and analysis of errors during production, the minimisation of hazardous waste from gluing, and pointed out the effectiveness of teamwork.
Research Limitation/Implication: Focusing on the production with material gluing may not fully represent the environmental impact of production on environment.
Originality/Value of paper: This paper contributes to the limited literature using in the area of influence of gluing technology on the environment.
