TPM definition (2) • TPM combines the traditionally American practice of preventive maintenance with Total Quality Control and Total Employee Involvement, to create a culture where operators develop ownership of their equipment, and become full partners with Maintenance, Engineering and Management to assure equipment operates properly everyday. 2. Origins of TPM • Dr. Deming introduced statistical analysis and used the resulting data to control quality during manufacturing (TQM) • Some general concepts of TQM did not work well in the maintenance environment • The need to go further than preventive maintenance was quickly recognized by those companies who were committed to TQM • Maintenance became an integral part of TQM in the early 90’s 3.

...people working in it. Greasex, which is a specialized degreasing solvent packed in a spray can, is one of the major products of this company. Hank Kolb was hired as a director of quality assurance. A problem occurred with the new filling equipment in the previous week and some of the cans were pressurized beyond the upper specification limit. If we analyze the main problems in the plant, the fundamental problem is management. There is a lack of cooperation between departments and the management seems to be insufficient to satisfy integration of these departments. There are also some serious problems in the production, design and inspection of the Greasex. Below is the list of these problems in detail: 1. The plant has a poor quality attitude. Quality department isn’t taken seriously by production people. We can understand this from the behavior of the foreman. Wayne Simmons vented the products without even consulting any inspector or employee of the quality department. 2. Operators for the filling equipment are not trained enough to run the equipment. As it is mentioned in the text, operators were transferred from a different department only two weeks ago without any experience. 3. Filling equipment was not designed for the production of Greasex. Therefore the machines are needed to be adjusted and repaired to fit the manufacturing. With respect to this requirement, twelve work orders were placed in the last six months. 4. The plastic nozzle heads purchased from out...

...Lean is the concept which starts from removing waste [1]. Lean Production is the practice of mass production in which work is completed in minimum time, in a smaller space, with very few workers, with less equipment, and yet achieves highest level of quality in final product [2]. Since the evolution of Toyota Production System in 1950s [2], the lean movement has been widely accepted in automobile industry. However, acceptance of lean technology in the process industries (steel sector) have been much slower [3]-[4]. For removing the obstacles like resource complexity, the idea of the point of discretization for the process industry has been explained by Abdulmalek et al. (2006). This notion is based on the fact that in production flow route...

...business strategies or “six planks” are overall well aligned with the company’s vision statement. Coors key business strategies, baseline growth, incremental growth, product quality, distributor service, productivity gains and people can be associated to Coors’ vision to focus on continuing to build upon its existing foundation by improving quality, service, boosting profitability and developing employee skills. The emphasis on improving quality and service should increase Coors’ products’ popularity, which in theory should lead to baseline growth of its key brands and should increase its chances to incrementally grow in potential markets, channels and make its baseline and new brands more attractive to a diverse number of demographics. A key strategy that I would like to address separately because I find it imperative to the long term success of any business is its investment in its people, and this encompasses its employees and communities where it conducts business. Coors’ vision statement to continue developing employee skills and to be a valued neighbor in its communities is well aligned with its business strategy of continuing to improve its business performance by engaging and developing its people. As you can see, Coors’ vision statement is very well aligned with its business strategies.

...Optimization in Production Operations Optimal “Lean Operations” in Manufacturing By Carlos W. Moreno © 2005-06 Ultramax Corporation Oct. 5, 2006 Introduction This essay deals with production / manufacturing operations: with their economic impact (or other metrics) while making product with the existing process, usually driven to satisfy: • market demand (delivered: volume, quality) • • economics (incurred: cost savings, resource utilization); and safety (safeguarding equipment, personnel and environment) These drivers represent the main impact of production on company profits, with short-term and long-term effects on the P&L Statement. The bottom line is that most production processes are underutilized; and the use of mature, accessible mathematical technology unlocks that latent capacity, which is of significant value. The best possible performance is “Optimal Operations.” In the process industry it is called “Process Optimization.” In manufacturing it is the extreme of Lean Operations, one of the components of “Lean Manufacturing” success. Other components that qualify for “lean” in the sense of avoiding waste (non-value-added), and not missing opportunities for improvements are: “Lean Design” (the most common emphasis today), “Lean Logistics – and Supply Chain,” “Lean Maintenance,” “Lean Scheduling,” “Lean Safety,” and “Lean Scheduling.” Some share interests with Six Sigma as well (quality and costs). All these solutions are also part of the classical field of Industrial...

...internal aspect of the company it describes the percentage of possible output that is actually achieved. Efficiency helps organisation performances by increasing productivity when organisations increase in productivity is shows that the businesses are properly managing their business resources. There are different types of productivity which are total productivity which equals its total output/ total input and the partial productivity which equals its total output/its unit of a single resource used. It is also divided into four main types which are the equipment productivity which is the number of units per machine hour/miles flown per aeroplane. The labour productivity which is number of units made per person/tonnes produces per shift and orders shipped per hour worked. The capital productivity is the number of units made for each pound of investments over the sales per unit capital and then the energy productivity is the number of units made per electricity. Also productivity can also be measured through the increase in workers as well labour, also through in the increase of machinery and materials and all of this measure of efficiency to meet company aims and goals.

...13 Executive Summary Platinum Box Ltd. is at a strategic juncture; it has enjoyed a phase of consistent growth over the last few years, and built on this growth, is planning to expand operations to take advantage of new markets in the USA. Critically, the equipment (printing presses) that have enabled Platinum’s growth and success are approaching the end of their life-cycles, as evident in doubling of their maintenance costs over the last two years. If this equipment is not replaced in the near future, Platinum cannot expect to expand production or to effectively push into new markets. There are three potential suppliers available to Platinum to replace the existing machinery; JabaKing, the existing supplier, who enjoys a very close strategic relationship with Platinum, Merakuri – a supplier out of South Korea who offers cutting edge technology, and Pnutype – a relatively new supplier in the market who offers preferable financing options, service and superior technology. In order to arrive at a decision on choice of supplier (or mix of suppliers) I, Jared John Hicza (Procurement Manager) have taken the approach of a Total Cost Analysis, which explores all costs associated with the purchase of the equipment in addition to examining which option might bests meet the strategic business needs of Platinum, while best mitigating the inherent risks to the business – like lost productivity due to reliability issues. Examining the total cost of ownership presents a better...
