Abstract

This project was carried out for a leading tyres manufacturing company in India and deals with the development of an alternative method to measure the land sea ratio, an important performance measure of tyres. The company’s method for measuring the ratio depends on the skill of a technical person and uses a costly measuring equipment. It takes almost 3 days to get the measurements for each day’s samples. An alternative method is being explored. The new method uses a statistical technique, a multivariate clustering method, and a simple computer program. The result is instantaneous, removes the subjectivity, disposes the need of a technical expert and the need of the costly measuring equipment. The present status of the project is that some fine tuning is required for the proposed method which is under exploration.
