Generally speaking, if you are engaged in factory production management and want to effectively improve product quality, you must find out the causes and solve them from the five major factors of people, machines, materials, methods, and environment. It is hoped that small and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry will have some thoughts on management, which will contribute to their future competitiveness.
People: refers to the people who make the product
Machine: refers to the equipment used to manufacture products
Material: refers to the raw materials used to manufacture products
Method: Refers to the method used to manufacture a product
Environment: refers to the environment in which the product is manufactured
In this five-element theory, people are in the central position and the driving position, just like a moving car. The four wheels of the car are the four elements of "machine", "material", "method" and "ring". The driver This "human" element is the main thing. Without the driver, the car would just sit there and become useless.
If a factory has good machines, materials, and methods for processing products, and the surrounding environment is suitable for production, but if the factory has no employees, it still cannot produce.
01
Analysis of "people"
Skill question?
Does the system affect people's jobs?
Is it a matter of selection?
Is the training insufficient?
Is it because the skills are mismatched?
Are the people dissatisfied with the company?
Is there anyone responsible?
Can people operate machines? Do people adapt to their environment? Do people understand the method? Does anyone know the material?
When it comes to people, we have to mention welfare benefits. Corporate welfare mainly consists of four major components: salary, training, vacation system and others. People are the first person responsible for products. The more stable the personnel are, the more stable the products will be. Crucial role.
02
Analysis of "machine":
Is the selection correct?
Maintenance issues?
Does it match the matching of the machine?
Is the operation method of the machine correct? Is the environment suitable for the machine?
When a factory receives an order, it must evaluate the order and determine which machine is best, including the purchase of mechanical spare parts and routine maintenance. Some factories will purchase some particularly advanced machinery and equipment, but pay little attention to follow-up maintenance and management of wearing parts, resulting in unstable quality.
03
Analysis of "material":
Is it genuine?
Is the model correct?
Is there a shelf life?
Has it been inspected at the factory?
Does it meet the specifications?
Does the material adapt to the environment? Does the material match the machine? Will the material interact with other materials?
Qualified raw materials or raw materials that can meet product requirements after processing should be used to avoid product failure due to raw material problems. Generally choose stable suppliers, establish long-term cooperative relationships, and have specialized personnel to manage material procurement.
04
Analysis of "law":
Was it done according to the law?
Do you understand?
Do you understand what you wrote?
Is the law suitable?
Is there a law?
Is the method given to the corresponding person? Does the method work in this environment?
Reasonable technology plus correct production operations constitute qualified products. Simply put, it can be divided into: operation guidance methods, inspection guidance methods, machine operation methods, etc. When writing instructions, you should treat your employees as idiots, so that when writing, you should follow a step-by-step approach and make it simple.
05
Analysis of "ring"
Has the environment changed over the timeline?
Have light, temperature, humidity, altitude, and pollution been considered?
Is the environment safe?
Is the environment man-made? Can a small environment and a big bad environment be compatible?
The factory production environment can affect the production efficiency of operators. Think about it, there is no prescribed area near the operator's workbench, and the working tools are scattered around. What are the consequences of this? Of course, production efficiency declines and product defects occur. 5S is a great tool in this regard.
