 BACKGROUND
In one particular industry, the process of applying adhesives
to non-woven fabric involves controlling the speed of motor
(on the applicator) to pump the adhesives and maintaining
the adhesives melting temperature. During this process, there
will be changes in pressure and temperature in the melting
equipment and the receiving tank (application of adhesives).
As a Process Engineer, you are required to improve the
adhesives application efficiency.

 OBJECTIVES
To
study the relationship between speed of applicator
motor and adhesive melting temperature to the adhesive
application efficiency.
To improve 5% efficiency of adhesive application by
optimize the speed of applicator motor and adhesive
melting temperature.

 PROBLEM STATEMENT
High
efficiency of adhesive application on their product is a
main advertising criteria of their merchandise.
Rightnow, the efficiency of adhesive application is resolute
by temperature of receiving tank. However, there are few
parameters such as speed of applicator motor and also
melting temperature at earlier stage need to be examine
on their relationship with efficiency of adhesive.
Low efficiency of adhesive application on their
merchandise will increase a customer complaint which at
the end, will jeopardizes their image and earning potential.

 SCOPE OF PROJECT
Thegeneral intent of this study in to know the relationship
between efficiency of adhesive application to the speed of
applicator motor and adhesive melting temperature.
This
study will mainly identify and assess two (2) controllable
parameter that affect the efficiency of adhesive
application. Also, this study yearn to identify the optima
condition of the parameter in order achieve improvement
on efficiency of adhesive application.
This
study will be conducted with limited amount of financial
resources and time framework.
