3.4.1 DEFINE TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT
A method or approach by which management and employees can
involve in the continuous improvement of the production of goods and
services.

The combination of quality and management tools will increase buisness


capability and reducing losses due to wasteful practice.

Thus, TQM refers to management methods used to enhance quality and


productivity in organizations.
REFERRING TO ISO
8402:1994
"TQM is a management approach for
an organisation, centered on quality,
based on participation of all
members and aiming at long term
success through customer
satisfaction , and benefit to all
members of the organisation and
society"

In matriculation syllabus,
Total Quality Management
consists of three methods ;
KAIZEN, 5S and JIT

These three methods can be

Another important aspect in
KAIZEN is the implementation of
PDCA Cycle.

This cycle can be repeated as


many times as is necessary to
eliminate the problem
successfully.

If progress is not evident after


several cycles, however, it would
be a good idea to take another
look at the original problem,
perhaps aided by some new
viewpoint
THE PDCA CYCLE
PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT

Include problem definition, gathering relavant


information, identifying the root cause, Implement the solution chosen as best

the best alternative to implement, before
undertaking any corrective steps .

If the Check step confirmed that the problem


Monitor the implemented solution and has been eliminated and that it is not likely to
gather data relevant to the original recur, then the job is done. If, however, it was

Able to identify exactly where things are going wrong and
change the processes to reduced waste of resources.
All people get certain responsibilities, thereby the employee
morale increases tremendously.
Teamwork increases because team able to think beyond the
needs of their specific department.
Customer requirements are placed at the forefront.

Some companies need to bring about an immense change in


their mind set and style of functioning.
The initial excitement around using a new management style
dies down all too soon, companies are not able to get the results
they are looking for.
KAIZEN EXAMPLE : Staff Driven “Stamp Out the Stamp
5S
SEIRI SEITON SEISO SEIKETSU SHITSUKE

The Five-Step Plan or 5S is the Japanese approach to implementing


Kaizen (continuous improvement) in their organisation

5S is a framework that is not only focusing on cleanliness, it also


emphasizes the use of a specific mindset and tools to maximise
efficiency and profit

It involves observing, analyzing, collaborating, and searching for


waste and also involves the practice of removing waste.
SEIRI (SORT)
Sort out unnecessary items in the workplace and
discard them

SEITON (STORE)
Arrange necessary Items in good order so they can
easily be selected for use.

SEISO (SHINE)
Clean your workplace completely So that there is no
dust on floors, machines or equipment

SEIKETSU (STANDARDISE)
Maintain one’s workplace so that it is productive
and comfortable By repeating Seiri-Seiton-Seiso

SHITSUKE (SUSTAIN)
Train people to follow good work habitsand to strictly
follow workplace rules
ADVANTAGES- 5S DISADVANTAGES - 5S
Establishes standards for Misunderstanding of what 5S
operating equipment and accomplishes
conducting processes thus
reducing equipment Resistance to change
breakdowns
Not addressing problems in the
Increase in productivity by workplace
improving efficiency of the
workspace Lack of management support

Able to conduct a less chaotic


mass-scale production due to
the cleanliness and orderliness
of the plant.
5S - EXAMPLE
Look at the example below to see 5S in action. Before 5S, spaces are
cluttered and confusing. After 5S, everything has an assigned place,
which is often marked with floor marking tape, labels, and other visual
cues.
JIT
Just-In-Time

Just-in-time (JIT) is also known as Lean Manufacturing


or Lean.
JIT brings the concept of reduction of waste and the
improvement of work flow.
The operation of JIT is one in which a better product is
developed or a better service is delivered using less of
everything required
Lean focuses on reducing and, ideally, eliminating the following types
of waste :

Overproduction waste
Making more of a product or delivering more of a service than is
needed. For example, producing 100 parts when only 50 are needed.

Inventory waste
Carrying more inventory than is needed at a given time. For example, a
bookstore carrying more copies of a given book than it is likely to sell.

Motion waste
Incorporating unnecessary movement into the production process or
into the delivery of services. For example, programming too many
motions into a CNC milling machine.
Lean focuses on reducing and, ideally, eliminating the following types
of waste :

Transportation waste.
Excess movement of parts in a manufacturing setting. For example, a part is
machined at one side of the shop and need to be transported to the other
end of the shop for assembling.

Over-processing waste
Going beyond customer requirements in ways that create no additional
value when producing a product. For example, holding a given part to
tighter tolerances than required in the specifications.

Defects waste
Creating rejected work or causing rework as the result of production or
processing errors. For example, creating a mass-production faulty parts
because it does not meet customer specifications
Lean focuses on reducing and, ideally, eliminating the following types
of waste :

Waiting waste
People, machines, or processes idling because something that is
needed is not yet available. For example, airliner idling on the
taxiway waiting for clearance to take off.

Underutilization waste
Underuse of the talent, skills, and creativity of people and the
capabilities of technology. For example, failing to include the
people who operate processes in brainstorming sessions aimed at
improving the performance of those processes
ADVANTAGES - JIT DISADVANTAGES - JIT
Reduction in storage space Little room for mistakes

Less working capital Production is very reliant on


suppliers
Less likelihood of stock
perishing No spared finished product to
meet the expected demand
Avoids the build up of unsold
finished product
JIT EXAMPLE :
Dell approach is provide
lead times that are shorter
than most of their
competitors by negotiating
with suppliers to carry
inventory instead of
carrying it themselves. It is
simple for Dell to assemble
and ship to customers.
