Abstract

Due to the numerous challenges competitors face in similar industries, particularly in the food business, industrial sectors focus their efforts on performance improvement. Measurement systems refer to a process's ability to provide a high-quality product or service that fulfills the standards of the client. The issue is that numerous small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises are struggling to satisfy their customers while maintaining a high level of product quality. To improve product quality, the first objective of this research is to uncover issues with product quality related to the measuring method. Before initiating this study, a literature review using the GR&R technique was undertaken to acquire data and convert it to knowledge. When developing a collective term on a manufacturing system, it is necessary to collect production data from the selected food industry as an actual case study. Additionally, the second objective of this study is to undertake GR&R to improve product quality in the food and beverage business through stability. As a result, data collecting is critical to the study's completion. Interviews are conducted, photographs are taken, and measurement data is entered into a spreadsheet. The study's ultimate objective is to recommend an improvement activity based on the findings from the GR&R system analysis. The analysis is conducted utilising the data that has been gathered. This analysis is necessary to evaluate whether the measuring system is affected by Appraisal Variation (AV) or Equipment Variation (EV). Additionally, GR&R is utilised to decide whether the analysis is appropriate or not. These identify the most impacted element based on the GR&R evaluation and use it to make an improvement proposal. These ideas are discussed with the industrial representative concurrently with the research presentation for evaluation.
