Seven Concepts to Total Quality Management 

   Continuous Improvemento    Continual improvement of 

processeso   Involves all operation & work centers including suppliers & customers

  People  Equipment  Materials  Procedures

   Six Sigma

o   Developed by Motorolao   Extremely High Measure of Process Capabilitieso   Six Sigma process has no more than 3.4 Defects per Million Opportunities 

(DPMO)o   Highly structured approach to process improvement

o   DMAIC Approach

  Define critical out puts and indentify gaps for improvement

Page 2: Seven concepts to total quality management

   Measure the work and collect data  Analyze the data  Improve process  Control the new process to make sure performance is maintained

   Employee Empowerment

o   Employee involvement in product & process improvement  85% of quality problems due to process & material

o   Techniques for Employee Empowerment  Build communication networks that include employees  Train supervisors to be open and supportive  Move responsibility to employee  Maintain high-moral organization  Create formal team structures

   Benchmarking

o   Selecting best practices to use as a standard for performance  Determine what to benchmark  Form benchmark team  Identify benchmarking partners  Collect & analyze benchmarking information  Take action to match or exceed the benchmark

   Just-in-Time (JIT)

o   Pull system of production scheduling  Station “pulls” work from predecessor  Includes supply management

o   Allows reduced inventory levels  Inventory costs money and hides process & material problems

  High inventory builds a fall back in case of process and material problems

Page 3: Seven concepts to total quality management

         With JIT those problems need to be solved because of an lack of inventory to fall back on

o   Encourages improved process and product quality 

 

   Taguchi Concept

o   Experimental design methods to improve product & process design  Identify key components & process variables causing product variation

o   Quality robustnesso   Quality loss functiono   Target specifications

Page 4: Seven concepts to total quality management

   Knowledge of TQM Tools

o   Poka-Yoke (Failsafing)  Foolproof device or mechanism preventing defects from occurring  Generally cheap, provides immediate feedback and becomes part of 

process
