Half of all the Extruded Profiles went directly to the scrap bin We ran five weatherstrip profiles on an extrusion line. Each one had its own compression force target and its own tolerance window. We had been running them long enough to think we understood the process. But the scrap kept coming. The hit rate stayed poor. We were burning through material and time, and nobody had a clear answer for why. So the group somehow decided we should build a FMEA to solve our problem.
