QDD 012 What are TQM, QFD, Six Sigma, and Lean?

What are TQM, QFD, Six Sigma, and Lean?

You may have heard of QMS but are not sure how your activities fit in. Or, you’ve heard of QFD, ISO 9000, Six Sigma, Lean…these cryptic names that you’re not sure what they’re about. You may be doing activities under one of your company’s procedures and asking, “Why am I spending time on this?”  Sometimes it’s good to re-orient to the big picture. That’s what we’ll be doing in this episode: reorienting to the QMS.

We’ll also talk about some of the standard QMS (Quality Management System) philosophies:

  • TQM (Total Quality Management)
  • ISO 9000
  • QFD (Quality Function Deployment)
  • Six Sigma
  • Lean
  • Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award

MD 167 Exploring the root causes of Microdieseling with Sanya Mathura

When a challenge arises due to lubrication degradation, the main focus is applied to solving the issue. Many times, this focus is placed on the physical roots or the things we can physically change. Once these physical roots are “solved”, we often realize that the underlying degradation issue appears again. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the real root causes and dive a bit deeper. Typically, most challenges have three types of roots, physical, human, and latent or systemic.

SOR 664 The Words We Use Matter

The Words We Use Matter
