Definitions

J. M. Juran defined quality as “fitness for purpose.”


Philip Crosby defined quality as “conformance to
specifications.”
A. V. Feigenbaum defines Total Quality Control (TQC)
as:
“Total quality control is an effective system for
integrating the quality-development, quality-
maintenance, and quality-improvement efforts of
the various groups in an organization so as to
enable marketing, engineering, production, and
service at the most economical levels which allow
for full customer satisfaction.”

Deming’s Contribution to Total Quality Management

• Consistency of purpose is a must for continual


improvement of the product.
• Continuous change and innovation is a must
for survival.
• Quality cannot be achieved only by inspection.
• Eliminate wastes in every functional area, not
only production.
• Attitude of supervisors and managers towards
workers should be that of a facilitator.
• Remove the barriers between departments
and individuals.

Deming’s Contribution to Total Quality Management

• Remove obstacles in the good workmanship of


hourly workers to instill a sense of pride in
them.
• Vigorous programmes of retraining and
education of employees are a must.
• Top management’s commitment for ever-
improving quality is a must.
• Numerical targets and work standards may
affect quality.
• Encourage workers to give quality
improvement ideas without fear.

Statistical Quality Control
• During the transformation process of a batch,
samples of items are taken at regular intervals
and inspected for any variations from the
established standards. Any variations found
prompt the quality control (QC) manager to
find the cause. If a cause like mistake on the
part of a worker in processing the item,
improper adjustment of the machine, etc is
found, it is termed as an assignable cause.
• Whenever variations are due to assignable
causes, the process

Six Sigma
• Motorola pioneered the six sigma program in
1987. it took five years to yield significant
results.
• Six Sigma at many organizations simply means
a measure of quality that strives for near
perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-
driven approach and methodology for
eliminating defects (driving toward six
standard deviations between the mean and
the nearest specification limit) in any process
– from manufacturing to transactional and

Steps in Implementing Six Sigma

DMAIC
• Step 1 – Define: Define the priorities of the customers with respect to
quality
• Step 2 – Measure : Measure the processes and the defects arising in the
product due to the process
• Step 3 – Analyze: Analyze the process to determine the most likely causes
of defects
• Step 4 – Improve : Improve the performance of the process and remove
the causes of the defects
• Step 5 – Control : Ensure that the improvements are maintained over
time.

Acceptance Sampling
• One or more samples may be drawn out of the lot and
tested for quality.
• A decision may be made to accept or reject the lot or
consignment depending upon the number of defective
items found in the samples.
• This process of using sampling in incoming or outgoing
inspection is called acceptance sampling.
Quality Standards
Quality standards are of two types:
Generic standards These standards are set by national and international
quality certification bodies as a guidance, development, or evaluation of quality
system in an organization. ‘Generic’ means that the same standards can be applied to
any organization—large or small, producing any product or service, and in any sector
of activity—it could be a business enterprise, public administration department, or a
government department. E.g. ISO9001

• ISO 9001: This is the most comprehensive of the certificates for an organization
engaging in development / design, production, installation, and servicing
Two documents are provided by ISO as guidance to organizations for
understanding various aspects of a good quality system:
• ISO 9000: This document explains principal concepts and applications, guide to
selection and use.
• ISO 9004: This document explains principal concepts and applications, guide to
quality management, and quality system elements.

Quality Standards

Industry-related standards These standards are


set by purchasing bodies for a particular industry
as the basic requirements for purchasing
products/services. For example, defence,
aerospace, nuclear industries, etc. usually have a
set of guidelines for purchasing due to
overriding safety requirements. A new standard
came into existence in 1995–96 called COPC–
2000 for customer service providers such as
BPOs. The Capability maturity model (CMM) is
another standard that has been developed by
the Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie
Mellon University, USA

Just-In-Time (JIT)

Schonberger defines the JIT system as to :


”Produce and deliver finished goods just in time
to be sold, sub-assemblies just in time to be
assembled into finished goods, and purchased
materials just in time to be transformed into
fabricated parts”.
Monden defines JIT as ‘a production system to
produce the kind of units needed, at the time
needed and in the quantities needed.'

The Concept of JIT Manufacturing

• Revise factory layouts

• Reduce set-up times

• Implement a pull system of production

• Better coordination with suppliers

Introduction to
Lean Manufacturing
Lean Manufacturing Definition
Lean has been defined in many different ways.

“A systematic approach to identifying and


eliminating waste(non-value-added activities)
through continuous improvement by flowing
the product at the pull of the customer in
pursuit of perfection.”

Lean manufacturing is a
philosophy
In 1990 James Womack, Daniel T. Jones, and
Daniel Roos wrote a book called “The Machine That
Changed the World: The Story of Lean Production--
Toyota's Secret Weapon in the Global Car Wars That
Is Now Revolutionizing World Industry”

In this book, Womack introduced the Toyota


Production System to American.

What was new was a phrase–


"Lean Manufacturing."

Which to Choose — MRP (ERP),
or Kanban?
Where MRP (ERP) works best:

 MRP is by its very nature a forward-looking


system.
 MRP can be very effective in an environment with
a great deal of variability.
 MRP is recognized an engine to drive an
integrated enterprise-wide information system.
Purchasing and logistics activities were similarly
being integrated with fundamental internal
materials management principles into an
enterprise-wide approach.
Intro-To-Lean

MRP or Lean Manufacturing?
Where MRP is not as effective.
 MRP is a predictive system. It does not reflect to
customer’s demand (easy to get overproduction).
A company takes MRP suggestions and acts on them without
too much review is very risky.
 MRP won’t fully support the cost-cutting.
 MRP needs lots of data for production management.
 MRP generates high overhead.
 MRP builds high work-in-process.
 MRP’s lead times are fixed.
 MRP creates potential quality hazard.

Intro-To-Lean

Which to Choose — MRP
(ERP), or Kanban?
Where Kanban works best.
Kanban is a very reactive system. Very little is planned ahead.
Instead, Kanban causes replacement of material used in a totally
reactive mode. Kanban works best in a highly stable and predictable
environment.

Where it is not as effective.


Kanban can quickly fail in a highly volatile environment
because of the reactive nature of the system. Volatility in
customer demand, processing problems, and extensive changes
in product designs make it very difficult for a Kanban system to
work effectively.

Which to Choose — MRP (ERP), or
Kanban?

Kanban and MRP Combination


The combination of these two systems is becoming quite common.
An MRP system is used for advanced planning, including long lead-time
purchased materials, adding resources, and implementing product
design changes. Once the MRP has the materials and resources “lined
up,” however, Kanban is used as an execution system, bringing with the
characteristics of rapid response to customer order and reduced
inventory levels throughout the process.

The Objections to Lean
How should you deal with these objections to lean?
• “It is very hard to deal with raw material suppliers if
we fully depend on customer order.”
• “It takes too much discipline.”
• “It takes too long to implement.”
• “My process is too complex; I have to deal with too
many uncontrollable variables, like late supplier
shipments, sick people, etc.”
• “My process requires a large batch size.”
• “It doesn’t make sense in my industry.”
• “It’s unclear to me how lean will work with my MRP
system.”

Lean and Green
The environmental impacts due to
production and waste generation
have made its way into every day
society.
Consumers are becoming more
environmentally conscious.
With the Earth’s limited resources,
companies are more conscious of
their carbon footprint, and there has
been a movement to create more
environmentally friendly decisions.

Green engineering is the systems-level approach to product and


process design where environmental attributes are treated as
primary objectives or opportunities rather than simple constraints.
Intro-To-Lean

Lean Manufacturing is a link to green
engineering
Lean manufacturing is the business model and collection of tactical
methods that emphasize eliminating non-value- added activities
(waste) while delivering quality products at lowest cost with greater
efficiency. In conjunction, six goals of green engineering are:

1. Select low environmental impact materials.


2. Avoid toxic or hazardous materials.
3. Choose cleaner production processes.
4. Maximize energy and water efficiencies.
5. Design for waste minimization.
6. Design for recyclability and reuse of material.

Intro-To-Lean

Lean Manufacturing is a link to green
engineering
 Population grows
 Wastes increase
 Fossil fuels are diminishing and there is nothing replenishing
them. Consumers are becoming more aware of the environment
and prefer environmentally friendly companies.
Being lean and green is so important now to reduce the
consumption of natural resources and the CO2 concentration
in the Earth’s atmosphere.

The Jonly real difference between lean and green manufacturing is


that green actually designs the product or process with the
environment as a constraint while lean creates a process with the
view of the environment as a valuable resource and not a
constraint.

Key Steps in Transforming
a Company to the Lean Approach

1. Establish a steering team—conduct strategic planning session


2. Train the steering team and the model line team in the disciplines of
lean
3. Perform PQR (product-quantity-routing) analysis
4. Identify value streams—select a value stream
5. Calculate model line takt time
6. Value stream map the model line—assemble current state map
7. Balance the line—assign standard work
8. Establish standard WIP (inventory levels)
9. Test the system (virtual cell)—document results
10. Setup reduction event

Introductory Quotation

Waste (“muda” in Japanese) is


‘anything other than the minimum
amount of equipment, materials,
parts, space, and worker’s time,
which are absolutely essential to
add value to the product.’

• Japanese word for card
– Pronounced ‘kahn-bahn’ (not ‘can-ban’)
• Authorizes production from downstream
operations
– ‘Pulls’ material through plant
• May be a card, flag, verbal signal etc.

Kaizen
• Change for better = continuous improvement
• Kaizen workshop or Kaizen event:
A group of Kaizen activity, commonly
lasting five days, in which a team identifies
and implements a significant improvement in
a process, e.g., creating a manufacturing cell.

5S: Workplace organization/Housekeeping
• 5s: Important part of Kaizen/Lean Manufacturing
• The S's stand for:

– Seiri - keep only what is absolutely necessary, get rid of things that
you don't need, i.e. simplify or sort.
– Seiton - create a location for everything, i.e. organize
or straighten.
– Seiso - clean everything and keep it clean, i.e. cleanliness or
sweep.
– Seiketsu - implement Seiri, Seiton and Seiso plant wide, i.e.
standardize.
– Shitsuke - assure that everyone continues to follow the rules of 5S,
i.e. stick to it or self discipline.

• 5S in the US: Sort, Straighten, Sweep, Standardize, Self Disciple

• 5S + 1S (Safety) = 6S (Hytrol, etc)


• 5S + 2S (Safety and Security) = 7 S (Agilent Technology that was part
of Hewlett Packard)
