What is the relationship between six-horse management and total productive maintenance management?

What is the relationship between six-horse management and total productive maintenance management?

Similarity between 1, Six Sigma and TPM

(1) Both of them are management methods, which can be used in enterprises in various fields and form corporate culture.

Through top-down activities, Six Sigma management has formed a customer-oriented, process-based and data-based corporate culture within the enterprise.

Six advantages of suitable horse management

② Six Sigma and Total Productive Maintenance have their own set of theories and tools.

Six Sigma adopts DMAIC process analysis technology-definition, measurement, analysis, improvement and control (contr0 1) to realize continuous improvement of product and service quality. It supports the implementation of Six Sigma Theory by means of fishbone diagram, pareto chart and DOE. TPM emphasizes full participation, and improves the efficiency of comprehensive equipment through improvement, so as to meet customer needs. Six sigma and total productive maintenance emphasize people's participation, especially front-line employees, who form small teams and become small cells within the enterprise to carry out activities.

③ Both of them need corresponding professionals.

The completion of the six horse-fit projects can not be separated from the six horse-fit talents in the black belt/green belt that we have been talking about. Similarly, some professionals are needed in TPM management. Moreover, some professional knowledge between them is also miraculous.

2. Differences between Six Sigma and TPM

(1) The focus is different.

Six Sigma is mainly concerned with some problems related to defects. We can use the method of DMAIC to find out the root of the problem and take corresponding measures through the collection and analysis of data. So we mainly solve some quality problems. TPM mainly pays attention to the state of equipment, such as the intact rate of equipment and the state of equipment.

② The theoretical basis of supporting six-fitness horse and total productive maintenance is different.

Six Sigma's tools and methods are based on data, and its requirements for data are relatively strict. After the improvement, the data must be verified again to verify whether the project has achieved the expected purpose. Relatively speaking, TPM does not need a lot of data as a support, and may rely on some traditional experience to improve related projects.

③ The scope involved is different.

Six Sigma pays attention to product quality/defects. Improve the qualified rate of products, meet customer requirements and reduce costs. The focus may be limited to this improvement project. While paying attention to equipment in TPM implementation, we must also standardize some activities related to equipment, such as 5S in production site and spare parts management. Therefore, it covers a wide range.

3. Application of Six Sigma in TPM management

Six Sigma and TPM have many similarities, but there are also many differences. Then we will consider whether it will achieve good results if the theory and tools of Six Sigma are applied to promote total productive maintenance activities. To this end, we try to use six suitable tools to serve TPM activities in practical work.

(1) training personnel at all levels.

Conduct dual training for personnel involved in TPM activities, including front-line personnel, that is, six sigma and TPM training, so that they can master the knowledge of these two theories.

② Establish a team suitable for TPM activities.

Generally, there are 4-5 people in each TPM team, and there is usually a person with equipment maintenance experience as the team leader. In practice, each TPM team is equipped with a Six Sigma black belt or green belt consultant to help and guide the TPM team on how to develop and use Six Sigma tools. This team structure fully considers the characteristics of total productive maintenance and six sigma, and organically combines them.
