Adient RESTRICTED Lever 3000 (Load class 2000 Nm) Missing Teeth Segment 20 March 2019 Adient Proprietary and Confidential Improving the experience of a world in motion Adient RESTRICTED Adient - RESTRICTED Adient Proprietary and Confidential Lever 3000 Recliner – Process Flow & Controls – Lever II Assembly Steps Area of interest Place Driver assembly into Guide Place Teeth Segment - A into Guide Place Teeth Segments – B into Guide Teeth segment adjustment Presence check Greasing of Teeth Segments Process flow & Controls Potential for fall-off 2 Adient – Improving the experience of a world in motion Adient RESTRICTED Camera check Greasing Feed and load Control Disc Presence check - Control Disc Adient RESTRICTED Lever 3000 Recliner – Why made? Why? Missing front Toothed Segment B > Why? Toothed Segment B fell out of guide before assembly of control disc due to collision between Work piece carriers Adient Proprietary and Confidential PCA • Optimization of grippers for pick and place of toothed segments B to reduce chance of misplacement. implemented on 8 Feb 2019 Previous system > Why? Toothed Segment B was not properly placed into guide slot during assembly process (Placed in tilted condition) > Why? Gripper of pick and place Toothed Segments B not properly adjusted Locator to Guide on Base Plate Fixed unit without any adjustments to compensate variation Additional Units in updated system for accurate positioning with additional DoF 1) AFAG Module Additional rotary freedom for proper lead in 1 2) Positioning Plate Additional vertical flexibilty for Locator to touch Guide before Gripper 3) Push-out Fixture To slide Teeth Segments directly into the slot and push down by compressing Grease 3 Adient – Improving the experience of a world in motion Adient RESTRICTED 3 Updated system 2 Lever 3000 Recliner – Why shipped? Adient RESTRICTED Adient Proprietary and Confidential PCA Why? Missing front Toothed Segment B > Why? 100% online detection of front Toothed Segment B failed • Optimization of sensing device for detection of presence and position of toothed segments B a) Diameter of pins enlarged b) Position of pins optimized to be at the middle • implemented on 21 Jan 2019 > Why? Sensor for detection of presence of front Toothed Segment B not adjusted to detect sloped Toothed Segment B (sloped Toothed Segments B can fall out of sub-assembly before next process step / assembly of control disc) > Why? Failure of sloped Toothed Segments B not considered in PFMEA Segment A Sensor Placement – Difference in height is significant to be detected Segment B Sensor Placement– Difference in height is insignificant to be detected in case of tilted teeth segment 4 Adient – Improving the experience of a world in motion Adient RESTRICTED Adient RESTRICTED Lever 3000 Recliner – Detection method ∆W2 Adient Proprietary and Confidential Principle : Use increase in W2 angle to rest of the population to identify Outliers as Suspect Upper Limit Standard (31 deg) (Control limit is set at 30.5deg) All NOK Parts identified Limit line Safety margin Algorithm: If W2 > Moving Median of 100 data + 2,43° “Moving Median” of 100 parts Lower Limit Standard (23 deg) (Control limit is set at 23.5 deg) 2,43° => Suspect (Based on statistical analysis) => Otherwise, OK 1. All parts identified for NOK W2 angle increase were opened and found to have missing segment. Adient -vs 4 segments. W2 is 100% monitored and recorded 2.5 Mean shift in W2 angle was able to identify recliners with 3 segments Adient – Improving the experience of a world in motion RESTRICTED Adient RESTRICTED Lever 3000 Recliner – Detection method ∆W2 Adient Proprietary and Confidential Detection method – Explanation Principle : Use increase in W2 angle to rest of the population to identify Outliers as Suspect W2 - 4 Teeth Segments – OK Recliner 4,855° (Mean shift based on Layout) Mean Shift Limit Curve defining boundary between OK and suspect parts “Moving Median” of 100 parts NOK variation W2 - 3 Teeth Segments NOK Recliner = = +3S (3*0,5405°) = 1,621° -3S (3*0,5405°) = 1,621° (Max sigma of 10 Campaigns 1,6123° (Max sigma of 10 Lots) 2,43° Used as limit curve to determine suspect parts 6 Adient – Improving the experience of a world in motion Adient RESTRICTED Sorting Procedure: For each lot, • Sigma = 0,5405° • Calculate „Moving Median“ for each data point based on next 100 data • Median is chosen over Average to improve stability against Outliers • Moving Median curve is the Base line • Offset by 2,43° to define the Limit curve (Offset Factor = 4,5 * Sigma) • Any data point lying above the limit curve is declared as Suspect Explanation – Mean Vs Median Adient RESTRICTED Lever 3000 Recliner – Detection method ∆W2 Derivation of Mean Shift in W2 Upper and Lower Toothed Segment Functional principle (shown = Upper; Lower is 180° rotated) 4x Contacts between Excenter to Teeth segment Excenter is allowed to float to support all 4 Teeth segments at the same time Adient Proprietary and Confidential With missing Teeth segment - B, Excenter looses support at one of four contact points and has to turn more to find the next possible support Contact points Gap W2 angle depends on, • Variation in functional geometry of all components in recliner • Variations are relatively constant for particular batch of production; but, changes over time with mixup of batches Left and Right Toothed Segment (shown = Left; Right is 180° rotated) Gap When all other conditions remain the same, Increase ΔW2: +4.855° (Based on CAD study on Nominal geometry) 7 Adient – Improving the experience of a world in motion Adient RESTRICTED Lever 3000 Recliner – Detection method ∆W2 Adient RESTRICTED Adient Proprietary and Confidential Derivation of standard deviation in W2 CONTROL BUILD for verification W2 – Recliner with 4 Segments - OK Process Capability Report for OK LSL USL Process Data LSL 23 Target * USL 31 Sample Mean 24,7078 Sample N 225 StDev(Overall) 0,404899 StDev(Within) 0,386348 Overall Within Overall Capability Pp 3,29 PPL 1,41 PPU 5,18 Ppk 1,41 Cpm * Potential (Within) Capability Cp 3,45 CPL 1,47 CPU 5,43 Cpk 1,47 23,1 Max 0,54045 PPM < LSL PPM > USL PPM Total Observed 0,00 0,00 0,00 24,2 Performance Expected Overall 12,33 0,00 12,33 25,3 26,4 27,5 28,6 29,7 Mean Sigma N : 24,71° : 0,405° : 225 30,8 Expected Within 4,93 0,00 4,93 W2 – Recliner with 3 Segments - NOK Process Capability Report for NOK LSL USL Process Data LSL 23 Target * USL 31 Sample Mean 29,4421 Sample N 225 StDev(Overall) 0,424322 StDev(Within) 0,427133 Max Standard deviation 0,5405° is chosen to set the sorting criteria 24,0 PPM < LSL PPM > USL PPM Total 8 Adient – Improving the experience of a world in motion Adient RESTRICTED Overall Within Overall Capability Pp 3,14 PPL 5,06 PPU 1,22 Ppk 1,22 Cpm * Potential (Within) Capability Cp 3,12 CPL 5,03 CPU 1,22 Cpk 1,22 Observed 0,00 0,00 0,00 25,2 Performance Expected Overall 0,00 120,60 120,60 26,4 27,6 Expected Within 0,00 132,52 132,52 28,8 30,0 Mean Sigma N : 29,442° : 0,427° : 225
