Our project is to automate the recording of paint defects and the creation of reports. Analysts will use the system instead of paper diagrams to record paint defects. It will automatically create daily reports and allow for easy creation of the reports for larger time periods. The system will be safe, reliable, and secure. It will be used at the following GM plants: Lansing Delta Township, Lansing Grand River, and Lake Orion Assembly.
General Motors automotive plants check for paint defects at points along the assembly line so that the defects can be fixed and so sources of defects can be found and eliminated. Currently, analysts examine the cars and record defects on paper diagrams. Later the analyst will compile the data and create daily reports and summary reports for larger time periods.
