Tools of QualityManagement
• Total quality management uses more than 100
different tools and techniques.
• There are many more tools which are being used
separately and under different `philosophies` like
six sigma.
• These tools and techniques are used to identify
the potential problems, frequency of their
occurrences, and method to control these
problems and to adopt world best class practices

Kaizen
• kai whichmeans “continuous” and zen meaning
“improvement” or “wisdom”.
• The Kaizen management philosophy, therefore, is
defined as making “continuous improvement”—
slow, incremental but constant.
• Kaizen Events are when work groups set aside a
few day or up to a week to simplify a process or
work area - eliminating waste, creating space.
10.
Kaizen -definition
• MasaakiImai defined Kaizen as “a means of
continuing improvement in personal life, home
life, social life, and working life.
• At the workplace ,Kaizen means continuing
improvement involving everyone—managers and
workers alike.
• The Kaizen business strategy involves everyone in
an organization working together to make
improvements without large capital investments.”
11.
Key features ofKaizen
• Improvements are based on many, small changes
rather than the radical changes that might arise from
Research and Development
• As the ideas come from the workers themselves, they
are less likely to be radically different, and therefore
easier to implement
• Small improvements are less likely to require major
capital investment than major process changes
12.
Key features ofKaizen
• The ideas come from the talents of the existing
workforce, as opposed to using R&D,
consultants or equipment – any of which could
be very expensive
• All employees should continually be seeking
ways to improve their own performance
• It helps encourage workers to take ownership
for their work, and can help reinforce team
working, thereby improving worker motivation
Problems with KAIZEN
Problems:
•Is a huge attitudinal change hence in some
cultures still not acceptable.
• hesitation of workers(no readiness)
• no readiness of management(orientation on
quick profit)
• Aversion to the long term concepts(finding of
quick and immediate solutions)
15.
Quality Circles
• Q.Cis a natural work using its observations
about the work process to identify
opportunities for improvement.
• Team meets regularly and selects a problem
from an earlier shift to correct.
• They analyze its sources, generate ideas for how
to eliminate it, and make the improvement.
16.
Quality Circles- Advantages
•The quality circle promotes a stronger identification
with the enterprise and increased personal
responsibility for the job on the part of the
employees.
• Quality circles also make it possible to connect the
existing informal groups with the management to
the general advantage of the enterprise.
• Quality circles contribute to the qualification of
employees, lead to in-house dialogue and generally
improve the working environment.

Lean- Basics
• JamesWomack and his colleagues formalized the Lean manufacturing
model by studying the Toyota Production System (TPS) and other
Japanese companies' approaches to commerce and comparing them
with those employed by a large array of automotive companies
around the world.
• The study was implemented in 1985 by the International Motor
Vehicle Program located in the Center for Technology, Policy, and
Industrial Development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
• Its goal was to enable automobile manufacturers worldwide to
advance the prosperity of their host countries and improve the work
life of industry employees by transferring knowledge of the more
competitive approaches implemented by Japanese companies like
Toyota.
20.
Lean- Basics
• Itidentified the Toyota Motor Company's TPS approach as
the best representation of the competitively superior
approaches employed by Japanese firms.
• It introduced the term "Lean production" to characterize
TPS' manufacturing strategy and contrasted it with "mass
production," which was the norm.
• "Lean production" model was refined and elaborated into
"Lean thinking."
• Toyota's strategic perspective and operating methods
became expressed in its depiction of the "Lean enterprise."
21.
What is Lean?
A systematic approach in identifying
and
eliminating waste,
or
non-value added-activities
through
continuous improvement
By
making products through
improved speed & flexibility
with
best quality & lowest cost

New Paradigm: Non-BlamingCulture
Management creates a culture where:
• Problems are recognized as opportunities
• It’s okay to make legitimate mistakes
• Problems are exposed because
of increased trust
• People are not problems -
they are problem solvers
• Emphasis is placed on finding solutions instead of
“who did it”

LEAN = RULESNOT JUST
TOOLS
LEAN STARTS WITH RULES NOT TOOLS
THE FOUR RULES
Structure every activity
Clearly connect each customer and supplier
Specify and simplify every flow
Improve through experimentation at the
lowest level possible - towards the ideal
state
26.
• The aimof 5S is to create an atmosphere
to keep a clean, organized, safe and
efficient workplace for everyone
• The foundation for the practice of 5S,
comes from a Japanese program derived
from these words, seiri, seiton, seiso,
seiketsu and shitsuke.
The 5S Housekeeping Standards
27.
The 5S HousekeepingStandards
Sort
Sustain
Sanitize (Safety)
Straighten
Sweep
Sort Examine everything at the workplace & identify
what is needed and what can be discarded
Straighten Organizing the way things are put away with
efficiency, quality, and safety in mind. Need to decide
where and how things should be put away and what
rules should be obeyed to insure that it is maintained.
Sweep
(Scrubbing clean)
Sweeping, scrubbing and cleaning of the building,
machines, fixtures & tools so that all areas of the
workplace are neat & tidy. This leads to early
detection of mechanical problems before they
become major breakdowns. Machines cry!
28.
The 5S HousekeepingStandards
Sanitize
(Safety)
Insuring that each workplace is properly designed for
safety. This is to protect every member from the
dangers during the performance of their assigned
tasks.
Sustain
(Standardize)
Developing the practice necessary to continually
participate in the 5S process. This requires that each of
the S’s become a personal habit. This is the most
difficult of the 5S’s, but it is the most important factor in
achieving long term success. Establishing routines and
procedures for maintaining and improving on the first
four (S’s), incorporating visual management tools.
29.
Six Sigma –origin
•A six sigma process was one that produced
less than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
• In 1987, Motorola's total approach to quality
became rebadged as Six Sigma.

37.
SIX SIGMA
• Isa universal quality metric that can be applied
regardless of the product complexity or dissimilarities
between different products.
• Higher sigma values indicate better product and lower
values represent less desirable products regardless of
what the product is.
• Higher the sigma level , fewer the no. of defects per
unit of product.
• Products produced at SIX SIGMA level of quality
operate virtually defect free.
What is anFMEA?
Description:
• A procedure that examines each item in a system,
considers how that item can fail and then
determines how that failure will affect (or cascade
through) the system
Acronyms
• FMEA: Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
• FMECA: Failure Modes and Effects and Criticality
Analysis
40.
History of FMEA
•Created by the aerospace industry in the
1960s.
• Ford began using FMEA in 1972.
41.
Benefits
• Improvements in:
–Safety
– Quality
– Reliability
• Other potential benefits
– Company image
– User satisfaction
– Lower development costs
– Presence of a historical record

QFD
• QFD isa structured method that uses the seven
management and planning tools to identify and prioritize
customers’ expectations quickly and effectively.
• Quality professionals refer to QFD by many names,
including matrix product planning, decision matrices,
and customer-driven engineering.
• Beginning with the initial matrix, commonly termed the
house of quality, the QFD methodology focuses on the
most important product or service attributes or qualities
45.
QFD
• When theattributes and qualities are prioritized, QFD deploys
them to the appropriate organizational function for action
• Thus, QFD is the deployment of customer-driven qualities to
the responsible functions of an organization.
• Classically, there are four ‘Houses of Quality’ in QFD:
• QFD1 Customer domain
• QFD2 Functional domain
• QFD3 Design domain
• QFD4 Process domain
QFD
Three basic stepsof QFD:
1. Identify the important customer needs
2. Translate customer needs into quality
elements
3. Deploy the important quality elements for
achieving quality
48.
QFD Principle
1. Processcustomer needs from VOC into
demanded qualities
2. Translate customers’ demanded qualities into
substitute characteristics of product
3. Display the relationship between demanded
qualities and substitute characteristics

Editor's Notes
#22 Who decides what is valuable? ---->>> Customer
#42 Each component must be labeled so none of them will be overlooked.
Develop a block diagram that shows the components or steps and indicate how they are related.
List the failures that may occur with each function. This is the failure mode.
Determine what the ultimate effect of the failure will be . Examples are: product or process fails to function, the user is injured, physical defects occur, color is wrong, etc. Anything that would cause the product or process to be undesirable to the user or consumer.
Estimate which failure would be the most severe. Failures that could cause human injury would be the most severe. Rank these 1 through 10. One being lease severe and 10 being most severe.
Weight the probability of the occurrence on a scale of one to ten. One being least likely and ten being most likely to occur.
Based on the current controls of the company, determine the likelihood that a failure would be detected. Rank them from one to 10. One being least likely to detect, 10 being most likely to detect.
Decide which risks take the highest priority. This can be determined from the previous factors. A combination of the severity, probability, and the likelihood of detection should determine which risks would take priority.
Assign responsibility of the highest risks and set a completion date.
Update the FMEA as action is taken. Once a failure mode has been neutralized, determine the next highest risk. Also an update will be needed if there is a change in the product or service that could produce new failure modes.
The risks are assigned a Risk Priority Number. This is equal to (Severity Rank)*(Probability Rank)*(Detection Rank).
#43 This is an example of an FMEA form. The heading vary from company to company.
