TPM: Quality Maintenance (Hinshitsu Hozen) (PowerPoint PPTX)

Quality Maintenance is an "advanced" pillar of TPM and aims to assure zero defect conditions. Also known as Hinshitsu Hozen in Japanese, it does this by understanding and controlling the process interactions between the 4Ms – manpower, material, machines and methods that could enable defects to occur. The key is to prevent defects from being produced in the first place, rather than screening them out through inspection systems after they have been produced. Controlling quality through its causes is the essence of Quality Maintenance.

Developed by our JIPM-certified TPM Instructor, this presentation teaches the key concepts, principles and philosophy of Quality Maintenance, the 4M conditions that are essential for defect-free production, as well as the step-by-step process for Quality Maintenance.
