Defects are waste and industrial engineers as waste eliminators have to analyze the defects occurring in each operation of the process to identify methods and techniques to reduce waste and apply them creatively in the operation under study or analysis. Zero defects is a popular movement for more than 50 years and industrial engineers have to promote in their organization to do their best to reduce and further reduce defects in all operations in their organization.
Operation defects analysis has to be done by industrial engineering team doing process/operation analysis and evaluate the quality management and engineering practices. Industrial engineers have to record various data elements in the process charts and operation information sheets by creating a data column or recording data in the remarks column in a consistent manner.
Questions
What is the trend in defects?
What are the engineering developments that will reduce defects further?
Are standard work conditions being maintained?
Are standard work instructions followed?
In process improvement studies and time studies, the analyst has answer the questions regarding standard working conditions and standard work instructions. If they are deviations, they have to record the reasons and evaluate them. The new standard has to contain better working conditions and operating instructions.
Defects in engineering processes are a waste and industrial engineering has to prevent waste or eliminate waste. Zero defect movement is an industrial engineering initiative.
Every time in process improvement studies, defects analysis has to see the trend in defects. Six sigma movement has given us the positive promise that we can keep on reducing defects through our understanding of the interplay of various process parameters. There is engineering improvement and statistical analysis to find the best parameter combination in six sigma process capability development.
Six sigma study can be initiated based on the operation defects analysis.
Process Improvement - Productivity Analysis and Productivity Engineering.
Industrial engineer analyzes each process into its ultimate, simple elements, and compares each of these simplest steps or processes with an ideal or perfect condition and modifies the element appropriately. - F.W. Taylor - Hugo Diemer.
