In Step 5, we employ methods such as P-M Analysis, FMEA and design of experiments, to find ways of correcting deficiencies listed in the Deficiencies Chart at Step 4 that did not seem to have an obvious solution (where the conditions required for building in quality are hard to specify).…

Here, we identify any lapses in the 4-M conditions for each process as found in Step 3 and list them in a Deficiencies Chart. We then work out how to correct these deficiencies (see Table “Chart of Countermeasures for Deficiencies in the 4 Ms”). If the actions required to correct…

A QA matrix is a table that delineates how defects are being built into products under current conditions, in a process in which one wishes to assure quality.This matrix enables managers to see at a glance which processes are generating defects, which processes’ equipment and methods are faulty, and how…

Verify the Existing Situation In this step, the existing situation is analyzed to establish baseline values and targets for the Quality Maintenance project and plan for its smooth implementation.The specifications for the product in question are confirmed, and all quality characteristics and defect modes that may affect these specifications are…
