TQM TOOLS & TECHNIQUES Statics is defined as the science that deals with the collection, tabulation, analysis, interpretation & presentation of quantitative data. statistical techniques are applicable in all situations where quantification is possible. Example- Engineering, commerce, industry, trade, economics, life science, earth science, physical science, medical science etc. Data Vs Information Data Information Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. Data can be something simple and seemingly random and useless until it is organized. When data is processed, organized, structured or presented in a given context so as to make it useful, it is called information. Example- Each student's test score is one piece of data. Example- The average score of a class or of the entire school is information that can be derived from the given data. Types of da...

7-Quality Control Tools The seven basic tools of quality is a designation given to a fixed set of graphical techniques identified as being most helpful in troubleshooting issues related to quality. They are called basic because they are suitable for people with little formal training in statistics and because they can be used to solve the vast majority of quality-related issues. These seven basic tools of quality, first emphasized by  Kaoru Ishikawa , a professor of engineering at Tokyo University and the father of "quality circles." Types of 7-Tools- The seven tools are: 1. Check sheet 2. Control chart 3. Stratification (alternatively, flow chart or run chart) 4. Pareto chart 5. Histogram 6. Cause-and-effect diagram (also known as the "fishbone diagram" or Ishikawa diagram) 7. Scatter diagram 1. Check sheet- A structured, prepared form for collecting and analyzing data; a generic tool that can be adapted for a wide variety of purpos...

Taguchi Method Taguchi methods  are  statistical  methods, sometimes called robust design methods, developed by  Genichi Taguchi  to improve the quality of manufactured goods, and more recently also applied to engineering, biotechnology, marketing and advertising.  The  Taguchi method   is an alternative method to review   l oss due to poor quality . The Taguchi method of quality control is an approach to engineering   that emphasizes the roles of  research and development   (R&D), product design and  development  in reducing the occurrence of defects and failures in  manufactured  goods. Taguchi defines Quality as “The loss imparted by the product to society from the time the product is shipped.”  LOSS = Cost to operate, Failure to function, maintenance and repair cost, customer satisfaction, poor design.  Taguchi’s Vs Traditional Approach Taguchi’s Traditio...

Just in Time Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing has been implemented successfully in Japan for the past 20 years. It is a philosophy as well as a technique that guides a manufacturing company in organizing and managing its business more effectively, and in planning and controlling its operations more efficiently. It is a way to achieve high velocity manufacturing.  Just In Time (JIT) is a production system that is designed to get quality, reduce costs, and achieve delivery time as efficiently as possible by removing all types of waste present in the production process so that companies are able to deliver their products (both goods and services) in accordance with the will of the consumer right time. Basic Principles of Just In Time To apply the method JIT then there are eight basic principles that should be considered in determining the production system strategies, namely: 1. Production in accordance with the Master Production Schedule orders New manufactu...

ISO 14000 ISO 14000 refers to a series of standards on environmental management tools and systems. ISO 14000 deals with a company's system for managing its day-to-day operations and how they impact the environment. The ISO 14000 series of standards was introduced in 1996 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Key Points- - ISO 14000 is a set of rules and standards created to help companies address their environmental impact. - This certification is optional for corporations, rather than mandatory; - ISO 14000 is intended to be used to set and ultimately achieve environmentally-friendly business goals and objectives. - This type of certification can be used as a marketing tool for engaging environmentally conscious consumers and may help firms reach mandatory environmental regulations. List of ISO 14000 series standards ISO 14001 Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use. ISO 14004 Enviro...

ISO 9000 ISO 9000 refers to a generic series of standards published by the ISO that provide quality assurance requirements and quality management guidance. ISO 9000 is a quality system standard, not a technical product standard. The ISO 9000 series currently contains four standards - ISO 9001, ISO 9002, ISO 9003 and ISO 9004. Firms select the standard that is most relevant to their business activities. Evolution of ISO 9000 Standard- Year Edition of ISO 9001 1987 1st Edition 1994 2nd Edition 2000 3rd Edition 2008 4th Edition 2015 5th Edition Quality Management Principle- The ISO 9000 series are based on seven quality management principles (QMP) The seven quality management principles are: · QMP 1 – Customer focus ·   QMP 2 – Leadership ·   QMP 3 – Engagement of people ·   QMP 4 – Process approach ·   QMP 5 – Improvement ·   QMP 6 – Evidenc...
