A fastener is a hardware component used universally for joints with two or more objects non-permanently. Fasteners are used in many sector such as automobile, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Fasteners are manufactured in mass production by cold heading process. Fasteners manufacturers suffer from common defects like across corner under fill, across corner round/cut/damage, shank damage, and head damage. The objective of this paper is to investigate the various fasteners defects that cause high rejection. This paper also describes the remedial measures which reduce these defects in the fasteners. In industry, fasteners defects identification and analysis is complex and multi task activity need involvement of multi-functional team. So an attempt is made to identify and analyze fasteners defects using computer assistance. It is observed that time required finding out possible cause and remedial action for any defect is very much less time in case of the Computer Assistance as compared problem solving by cross functional team.
