Continuous Improvement
Represents continual improvement of all processes
Involves all operations including suppliers and customers
that covers People, Equipment, Materials, and Procedures
Walter Shewhart develop a circular model known as
PDCA to stress the continuous nature of the improvement
process.
Japanese use the word Kaizen to describe continuous or
ongoing process improvement

Six Sigma
Originally developed by Motorola
In statistical sense, Six Sigma refers to an
extremely high measure of process capability
(99.9997% accuracy)
A Six Sigma capable process will return no more
than 3.4 defects per million operations (DPMO)
Highly structured approach to process
improvement
Six Sigma improvement model known as DMAIC
Total Quality Management
(cont..)
Six Sigma is a program designed to reduce defects to
help lower costs, save time, and improve customer
satisfaction.
3 key players in the Six Sigma program
Master Black Belts full time teacher who have extensive
training in statistics, quality tools, and leadership
Black Belts project team leaders
Green Belts spend part of their time on team projects
and the rest on their normal jobs.

Define critical outputs
DMAIC Approach
and identify gaps for improvement
Measure the work and
collect process data
Analyze the data
Improve the process
Control the new process to make
sure new performance is
maintained
Total Quality Management

Quality Circle / Employee Empowerment
Group of employees who meet regularly to solve
problems
Trained in planning, problem solving, and
statistical methods
Often led by a facilitator
Very effective when done properly
Total Quality Management
(cont..)
Benchmarking
Selecting best practices to use as a standard for
performance
Benchmarking procedures/steps,
Determine what to
benchmark
Form a benchmark team
Identify benchmarking partners
Collect and analyze benchmarking information
Take action to match or exceed the benchmark

Just-in-Time
JIT systems are designed to produce or deliver
goods just as they are needed
Related to quality in three ways;
JIT cuts the cost of quality scrap, rework, inventory
investment, damage costs are directly related to
inventory on hand
JIT improves quality limits the number of potential
sources of error
Better quality means less inventory and better, easier-
to-employ JIT system

Taguchi Concepts
Experimental design methods (DOE) to improve product
and process design
Identify key component and process variables affecting product
variation
Three concepts
Quality robustness - Ability to produce products uniformly in
adverse manufacturing and environmental conditions
Quality loss function mathematical function that identifies all
costs connected with poor quality (repair, scrap, warranty, etc)
Target-oriented quality a philosophy of continuous
improvement to bring the product exactly on target
Quality Loss Function
High loss L = D2C
Unacceptable where
Loss (to L = loss to society
producing Poor
organization, D = distance from
customer, Good target value
and society) C = cost of deviation
Best
Low loss Target-oriented quality
yields more product in
the best category
Target-oriented quality
brings product toward
Frequency the target value
Conformance-oriented
quality keeps products
within 3 standard
deviations
Lower Target Upper
Specification
Quality is never an accident; it is
always the result of intelligent
effort. -John Ruskin-
There is one rule for the industrialist and that is:
Make the best quality of goods possible at the
lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages
possible.
