WORLD CLASS MANUFACTURING
• World class manufacturing is a collection of concepts, which set
standards for production and manufacturing for another organization to follow
CONCEPT
OF WORLD CLASS MANUFACTURING :-
§ Japanese manufacturing is
credited with pioneer in concept of world-class manufacturing.
§ World class manufacturing was introducing the automobile,
electronic and steel industry.
World
class manufacturing is a process driven approach where various techniques and
philosophies are used in one combination or other . Some of the techniques are
as follows:
• Make to order.
• Streamlined Flow.
• Smaller lot sizes.
• Collection of parts.
• Doing it right first time.
• Total preventive
maintenance.
• Quick replacement.
• Zero Defects.
• Just in Time.
WHAT
IS WORLD CLASS MANUFACTURING?
• Flexibility and control to satisfy customer on time and every
time.
• Reduction of waste in manufacturing system
• Improved manufacturing function
• Managing through people, team for better quality.
• PRINCIPLES OF WCM :-
• There are three main principles, which drive world-class
manufacturing.
• Implementation of just in time and lean management leads to
reduction in wastage there by reduction in
cost.
• Implementation of total quality management leads to reduction of defects and encourages zero tolerance towards defects.
• Implementation of total preventive maintenance leads to
any stoppage of production through
mechanical failure.
PARAMETERS
THAT DEFINE WCM
• Quality.
• Cost effective.
• Flexibility.
• Innovation.
