First-time Quality: a Keystone of Lean
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The focus on quality is one of the hallmarks of the lean production system. Quality is a major enabler of reduced costs, both directly through reductions in the quality assurance function and the cost of rework, and indirectly as it facilitates the reduction of inventory buffers. In this chapter, we discuss the critical role of quality in the lean system and report on efforts to improve quality at the companies that participated in this study. The full CCDR definition of quality control can be found in Appendix C.

The survival of any organization depends upon its competitive edge. Even though Lean is one of the most powerful quality improvement methodologies, nearly two-thirds of the Lean implementations results in failures and less than one-fifth of those implemented have sustained results. One of the most significant tasks of top management is to identify, understand and deploy the significant Lean pra...
متن کاملA Robust credibility-based fuzzy programming for supply chain optimization in lean manufacturing environment
Lean manufacturing is a strategic concern for companies which conduct mass production and it has become even more significant for those producing in a project-oriented way by modularization. In this paper, a bi-objective optimization model is proposed to design and plan a supply chain up to the final assembly centre. The delivery time and the quality in the procurement and low fluctuation of t...
متن کاملExperimental and Simulation Constructing of Phase Diagram and Quality Lines for a Lean Gas Condensate Reservoir Fluid
Constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. Due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.On the other hand, ...
