TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM)

Continuous Improvement Techniques

TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Total Quality management refers to a management process and set of disciplines that are coordinated to ensure that the organization consistently meets and exceeds customer requirements. Total Quality Management is a management concept coined by W. Edwards Deming and encompasses the following ideas:

Examples

Customer focus. The customer determines whether a product or service is good enough. Employee empowerment. All employees must understand that continuous improvement is a part of everyones job. Leadership. Upper management must provide the impetus and motivation for the quality programs.

KAIZEN

Continuous Improvement Techniques

KAIZEN
Kaizen is a Japanese word for the philosophy that defines managements role in continuously encouraging and implementing small improvements involving everyone. It is a method of continuous improvement in small increments that makes processes more efficient, effective, under control, and adaptable.

KAIZEN

Continuous Improvement Techniques

The kaizen improvement focuses on:

1. Value-added and non-value-added work activities. 2. Muda, which refers to the seven classes of wasteoverproduction, delay, transportation, processing, inventory, wasted motion, and defective parts. 3. Principles of motion study. 4. Principles of materials handling. 5. Documentation of standard operating procedures. 6. The five Ss for workplace organization, sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain. 7. Visual management by means of (visual) displays that everyone in the plant can use for better communications. 8. 8. Just-in-time principles to produce only the right units in the right quantities, at the right time, and with the right resources. 9. Poka-yoke to prevent or detect errors.

Six Sigma

Continuous Improvement Techniques

Six Sigma
Is a management methodology Customer focused Data driven decisions Breakthrough performance gains Validated bottom line results Six Sigma Was Developed at Motorola in the 1980s as a Method to Improve Process Quality. It Was First Used to Improve Manufacturing Process Capability and then Migrated to Business Processes Capability Companies That Have Deployed Six Sigma: Bank of America, Motorola, GE, IBM, Kodak and Many More The Basic Premise Is, All Processes Have Variation. Variation Is the Enemy
