Methodology for Assessing the Factors Affecting the Quality and Efficiency of Flexographic Printing Process

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to determine the methodology for assessing key factors that affect the quality and efficiency of a flexographic printing process. The subject of theoretical considerations is quality evaluation and basic information about efficiency method evaluation, like OEE, SMED and other. The article also presents an evaluation survey of the quality level of printing requirements for customers, conducted by the author. The presented results reveal that those methods are suitable as advanced tools for measuring the quality and efficiency level of manufactured products and the production processes, which also improve customer satisfaction.
