A sudden rise in reject rate accompanied by no change in the process is best investigated by

  • A.raising the firing temperature to compensate
  • B.reducing the production rate permanently
  • C.checking the incoming raw materials first
  • D.immediately replacing the kiln furniture

Answer: C

Correct answer: checking the incoming raw materials first

A step change in rejects with no change in the process points to a change in something entering the process, and the raw materials are the largest and most variable input - a new clay lot, a different consignment of feldspar, a shift in moisture. Checking them costs a morning. Altering the firing to compensate would mask the cause and leave the plant permanently mis-set once the material changed back.
