    SHIGEO SHINGO’S QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
    PHILOSOPHY
    Mistake proofing: Industrial processes designed to
    prevent/control human errors
     Mistakes are detected and eliminated at the source
     Operator is either warned or the mistake is controlled
    using;
     The contact method: identifies defects by physical
    attributes i.e ; color shape or temperature
     The fixed value method: alerts operator when required
    number of movements is not done
     The motion-step / sequence method: prescribed steps
    have to be followed
    SHIGEO SHINGO’S QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
    PHILOSOPHY

    Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED)-


    reducing change over time between activities
    to improve flow and reduce waste
     Changeovers and start ups should take less
    than 10 minutes
     Activities grouped as internal and external
     Convert internal activities to external activities
    SHIGEO SHINGO’S QUALITY
    IMPROVEMENT PHILOSOPHY
    Just-in-time production (JIT): having the right
    products in the right amount and at the right
    time
     Pull system where resupply /restocking is
    based on the production needs and there is
    little inventory needed
     Use of signals when product is almost finished
    and needs to be replaced
    Advantages
    • Less time training workers
    • Reducing burden of repeating tasks
    • Reduction of poor quality products & waste
    • Immediate action when problem occurs
    • Preventing poor quality products from
    reaching the consumer
    • Detecting mistakes as they occur
    Advantages
    • Eliminating defects before they occur
    • Increased productivity
    • Increased safety
    • Motivates staff and work relations
    • Increased flexibility and improved work flow
    • Reduced stock outs
    • Reduced waste from expired unused materials
    Shortcomings
    • JIT strategy is risky; having little stock on hand
    may affect production if suppliers are
    unreliable
    • Employees may have no job security
    • JIT is vulnerable to natural disasters
    • A zero defects strategy is unrealistic to achieve
    when dealing with human resource prone to
    error.
