Standardizing Components for Superior Quality: Solving Sponge Seal Yellowing

2025-10-13

Consistency is key in manufacturing. In this case study, we explore how Ocean Century's coordinated effort to standardize a simple component—a sponge seal—led to enhanced product quality, longevity, and streamlined assembly across multiple product lines.

The Challenge: Inconsistent Sponge Seals Causing Quality Issues

During the sheet metal fabrication and assembly process for our appliance bases, we identified an inconsistency. The color of the bottom steel sponge seal strips was not unified across all our internal product divisions. While three divisions had already adopted a black sponge, one was still using white, leading to visual inconsistency and a functional problem.

Our Coordinated Resolution Process

To resolve this, our project team took the lead in coordinating the final division. We managed the validation process to ensure the black sponge met all required specifications for the remaining product lines.

  • Problem: Non-standardized sponge seal colors and material properties.
  • Solution: Coordinated cross-divisional validation and enforced the switch from white to black sponge strips for all domestic models.
  • Cost Investment: Zero. The solution involved standardization, not new part procurement.
  • The implementation of this unified standard yielded immediate and long-term improvements:
  1. Eliminated Yellowing: The black sponge material does not show the yellowing effect that the white sponge did over time, significantly improving the product's long-term appearance.
  2. Extended Shelf Life: This change also increased the material's effective storage time before assembly, improving inventory management.
  3. Streamlined Production: Standardizing on a single component across all product lines simplified procurement, reduced complexity on the sheet metal assembly line, and ensured consistent final quality.
  4. Enhanced Overall Quality: The initiative directly addressed and improved the issue of externally visible sponge strips on the appliance, elevating the overall product finish.
