Preliminary Abstract

The research will be conducted in the field of process engineering, involving the optimization of processes required in plastic fabrication and injection molding. Through the acquisition of data and statistical analysis, the aim is to stabilize the injection molding process, control the process to create products of high quality, and reduce costs. In other words, the goal is to find the optimal way to operate a plastic fabrication and injection molding plant. The organization of the flow of materials, resources, and people that best facilitates efficiency will be found through the application of statistical techniques and the analysis of data acquired from the various mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering tasks that occur simultaneously within the Micro Tech Southwest facility. These goals will be achieved by minimizing waste and processing time, isolating the parameters most essential to product quality, and making sure the right processes are running at the right times, thus engineering the most efficient process possible for this facility.
