In recent years, the relentless pursuit of quality in manufacturing has led to a heightened ability to ferret out waste and quickly address areas of failure. However, global competition is requiring that manufacturers of today move to a place where failure is not even an option. Success every Time (SET), developed by visionary Johan Casey, takes the concept of quality to that rarified yet very achievable level. When SET is executed completely, operators interface with their parts and tools in such a way that either the product is made correctly, or the/process is stopped. Operators can make only correct parts nothing else.
Strategic Error-Proofing: Achieving Success Every Time with Smarter FMEAs will teach you how to implement SET in your own facility. Succinctly addressing the shop floor realities and cultural challenges that can conspire to defeat even the best intentions, this indispensable volume -
• Shows you how to integrate error-proofing devices into both planning and production phases
• Identifies simple and strategic graphics to help management see improvements in elements that matter most, like safety and warranty claims
• Outlines a method to measure the robustness of each operation as well as overall plant efficiency
• Demonstrates how to seek out the needs of various device users, so as to evaluate the devices based on these needs
• Helps you develop a library of standardized methods for solving your most common problems
By following the proven advice offered in this book, your company will experience how the proper implementation of SET increases both employee and customer satisfaction, improves warranty claims, and raises profits.
