1. The Presentation
Continuous improvement (CI) is one of the three main pillars of a quality management system, and has been widely implemented in industries. In this brief presentation, after the basic ideas, the CI processes and approaches, e.g. PDCA, A3, DMAIC, 8D, etc., are reviewed. Then, the operation performance of manufacturing systems, particularly on their production throughput, is addressed in the talk. The improvement management is also talked about at the end. The presentation discussion is on the in-depth understanding of the states of complex manufacturing systems for bottleneck identification. The processes and approaches introduced in the presentation are based on the speaker’s hands-on experience in the auto industry, and can be more applicable to volume production.
