UNKNO

This book describes several of the more common and popular methods, including case studies, being used by manufacturing companies to improve their business. Even before we cover these tools and strategies, we cover several fundamental issues-if present, almost any tool will be effective, but if absent, almost not tool will work, i.e., the need for leadership and several models thereto for creating an environment that brings out the best in people, the need for innovation throughout the organization, including what I call "big innovation" - R&amp;D and new product/process development, but also "little innovation"- using the proper tools in a disciplined way to lower our costs and improve quality so that we have higher margins to pay for the big innovation. We will also cover the use of cross-functional teams in applying these methods, and a process for managing change, as well as a model for measuring performance and demonstrating that operational and business goals have been achieved. Finally, we will review a process that I call business level failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) for identifying the right projects for improvement, and for selecting the right tools for that projects. Ron Moore s 2nd edition of What Tool? When? A Management Guide For Selecting The Right Improvement Tool takes a quantum leap over the 1st edition with a new chapter on using Weibull Analysis methods to quickly and easily separate operations-controlled losses versus maintenance-controlled losses. The new edition also includes additional data on the poor success rate related to implementation of the improvement tools as well as additonal information on organizational alignment. It provides additional information on managing cultural change, and particularly that the best way to change and sustain an organizational culture is by first changing management behavior. It also adds additional clarity and data to specific tools such as TPM, RCM, PDM, and lubricating practices. This book reviews the following: *Lean manufacturing *Kaizen, including 5S, Kanban, quick changeover, and standardization *Total productive maintenance *Six Sigma *Supply chain management *Reliability-centered maintenance *Predictive maintenance (or condition monitoring) *Root cause analysis Additional information will be provided in the appendices regarding: *Planning and scheduling *Performance measurement *Other improvement tools

. The 6th edition includes several changes and additions, including a discussion of common sense, why it's not all that common, and how to make it so; a discussion of the "soft stuff", which is the hard stuff - leadership, alignment, teamwork, engaging the entire workforce, and managing cultural change - and how to make it easier; an entire chapter on reliability and safety, including data demonstrating that a reliable plant is a safe, and cost effective plant; a more detailed approach for the effective implementation of an Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measurement; additional data on how poorly so many capital projects are implemented, along with case study data on two different approaches to avoid this - lowest installed cost vs. life cycle cost; a case study comparing the difference between destructive shift competition and constructive shift competition; additional discussion of the RCM graphs - age related vs. random failure curves, and some of the subtle, but important differences; a discussion of the "Golden Rules" for assuring machinery reliability; a discussion/case study on sustaining reliability once you've achieved a high level of performance (sometimes senior managers want to stop doing the things that got you there, putting your performance at risk); a discussion of an effective way to measure to measure so-called "wrench time", and using it to remove the obstacles from workforce success, as opposed to simply see if they're working; and, managing an aging workforce, something familiar to the author.

This book provides guidance in answering answer the following questions: 1) Where should we start with our improvement effort? 2) What improvement tools best apply to the opportunities we identify? 3) Which ones provide the greatest return for the least amount of investment? Most engineers are familiar with failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), a technique for improving machinery and equipment reliability by analyzing its functional requirements, failure modes and effects, and then taking appropriate action better manage those potential failures. However, in using these principles, this book does not focus on a given machine and its failure modes, but rather focuses on the business, specifically analyzing a production line or process at an operating to determine where the major business opportunities are relative to the gross profit associated with improved production, or reducing any extraordinary costs. The purpose of this book is to illustrate the methodology, and then provide numerous examples of how the technique can be applied in varying circumstances, helping you prioritize your efforts.
