Companion flange is used as assembly part with universal drive shafts in vehicle transmission system. It allows connection of a flange yoke to another type of connection, for proper torque transfer. The existing design of companion flange incurred wobbling problem during transmission testing. After dimensional checking of part found spline or broaching shifted from its centre position as shown in report picture. Now we have to propose a full proof manufacturing process of companion flange by which part will not get rejected. The manufacturing process encompassed sequence of manufacturing process which includes CMM testing, MPI Testing, Induction Hardening testing (Pattern Testing), Material Testing, Hardness Testing, PFD, PFMEA, Control Plan, SPC & MSA Study and conducting VMC operation on fixture.
