heal.abstract	This paper presents the experience of a project aiming to reduce variability through improvement actions in a production line of light metal industry (collapsible tubes), supported by a non destructive quality control method. A specialised instrument for the non-destructive measurement (NDT) of the thickness of the internal layer of the varnishing color has been installed in the quality control laboratory. The installation of the NDT method gave the company the possibility to acquire the necessary data at low cost and to understand variability of a critical manufacturing process. Improvement actions reduced material consumption and the relevant important cost in the collapsible tubes production unit. The project was co-financed by the Greek General Secretariat of Research and Technology. © 2012 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l.	en
