1M to 10M analysis.


1M - Material:

Examines all inputs and raw materials used in the process:

- Quality of RM

- Material specifications

- Storage conditions

- Supplier reliability

- Material variability

- Handling and transportation

2M - Machine:

Adds equipment-related factors to the analysis. This covers all aspects of machinery and tools including:

- Equipment condition and age

- Maintenance history

- Operating capacity and limitations

- Calibration status

- Tool wear and reliability

- Machine settings and adjustments


3M - Method:

Analyzes the processes and procedures being used:

- Standard operating procedures

- Work instructions

- Process parameters

- Production schedules

- Workflow design

- Best practices implementation

4M - Man (Human Factors):

The foundation of the analysis, focusing on human-related factors such as operator skills, training, physical and mental state, experience level, and human error potential. This includes things like fatigue, competency, attention to detail, and adherence to procedures.

5M - Measurement:

Focuses on how data is collected and monitored:

- Measuring instruments and their accuracy

- Calibration systems

- Data collection methods

- Quality control parameters

- Testing procedures

- Statistical process control

6M - Mother Nature (Environment):

Considers environmental factors that could impact the process:

- Temperature and humidity

- Lighting conditions

- Workplace layout

- Cleanliness

- Environmental controls

- Weather impacts

7M - Money:

Examines financial aspects affecting quality:

- Budget constraints

- Resource allocation

- Cost of quality

- Investment in improvements

- Financial priorities

- Cost-cutting impacts

8M - Management:

Evaluates leadership and organizational factors:

- Decision-making processes

- Communication channels

- Policy implementation

- Resource planning

- Leadership style

- Organizational structure

9M - Maintenance:

Focuses on upkeep and preservation activities:

- Preventive maintenance schedules

- Repair procedures

- Spare parts management

- Equipment lifecycle

- Maintenance training

- Documentation

10M - Motivation:

The final layer examining psychological and cultural factors:

- Employee engagement

- Recognition systems

- Work culture

- Team morale

- Incentive programs

- Job satisfaction




you can start with the basic 1M or 2M analysis for simpler issues and expand to include more factors as needed for more complex problems.

Operation IE.

Machine Effort IE.

Human Effort IE.

Elemental Operation IE.




The primary focus of IEs has to be improvement of engineering. In addition to it, they have to improve many other areas. In all areas including engineering, they have to involve specialists from those areas to do detailed designs, production and installation. Industrial engineers have to evaluate all new developments in engineering for use within the systems, facilities and processes in their organization for productivity improvement.
