Method for Quality Cost Production System Implementation
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2012, Vol 13, Issue 34
Abstract
Today's competitive environment requires industrial companies to find solutions to survive and be profitable. Approaches such as Lean Six Sigma and World Class Manufacturing provide a set of techniques and tools which are technical solutions, but also highlight the role of organizational culture. These systems, developed based on Toyota Production System (TPS), have tried to replicate the success of Toyota, but frequent implementation failures registered leads to the suspicion that the TPS's DNA is not fully understood. Based on the authors' ten years’ experience on production systems implementation, the success of implementation consists in management commitment, a clear plan and sustainable practical application. This paper presents a global method, which describes the necessary steps for successful implementation of a production system for identifying, monitoring and control of non-quality costs in order to reduce them through daily activities and optimization projects.

Influence of Deep Carburizing Treatment on Hardness of Workpieces
In carburizing heat treatment was achieved a theoretical and experimental research of influence of carburizing time on hardness and depth. The study of obtained results through performed experiments leads to optimization...
Influence of Spool Supplied Flow Non-Linearity on the Behaviour of the Hydraulic Motor
This article studies how non-linearity of the flow supplied by the electrohydraulic servovalve spool influences the dynamic behaviour of the controlled linear hydraulic motor. It approaches the case of hydraulic spool ma...
Experimental Determination of Connecting Pipe Length Influence to the Data Acquired
The utilization of pneumatic muscles in industrial applications is still in a premature stage, due to the relative freshness of these components. The paper presents some of the results of research carried out in the Flui...
Actuators as Mechatronics Objects for Motion Software Control
This paper presents the integration between the components hardware and the driven functions software, resulting in integrated systems called intelligent mechatronic systems. Their development involves finding an optimal...
Influence of Geometry of Hollow Rollers on the Contact Stress to the Large Bearings
The research answers to problems appeared in exploitation of large bearings, namely, uneven wear on the rollers and the raceways, as a result of high centrifugal forces. Currently, this problem is solved by execution of...
