“Quality is not an act,
it is a habit.”
Aristotle

The Times Demand Quality
On the shop floor
The age of technological innovation
The duty of the producer
To ensure quality that will allow the
customer to buy and use the product with
confidence and satisfaction
The producer’s task
To maintain and improve product quality
and guarantee consistency
Using equipment to build quality
into the product
Approaching the quality challenge
through equipment management
Shifting production work from
human to machines through
automation and labor-saving steps.
An increase in equipment-related
quality problems
Failures due to decreased function
exceed failures due to loss of
function (defect loss, etc.)

Traditional Inspection is a Poor Substitute for Quality

Traditional 100% inspection does not
provide 100% defect-free products.

Why Chronic Defects Persist
Proceeding without analyzing
the problem sufficiently
§ Jumping to conclusions about
the cause
§ Trying to solve the problem
based on experience alone
§ Not making a clear connection
between the defect and the
equipment
Thinking only within the
boundaries of one’s specialty
or a certain fixed technology
§ Not addressing other causal
factors
§ Not recognizing what has
changed in the equipment and
its operation
Chronic defects
don’t go away

TPM Goals:
Zero Defects, Zero Breakdowns,
Zero Accidents
The Quality Maintenance pillar focuses on establishing
and maintaining zero-defect conditions.

What is Quality Maintenance?
Focused Improvement
Quality Maintenance means figuring out the
equipment conditions in which defects won’t
occur, setting them up as the standards,
monitoring and measuring actual equipment
conditions over time, and confirming the
actual conditions are within the standards.

Differences Between Conventional Quality
Approach and Quality Maintenance
Conventional
Quality Approach
§ A mindset that zero defect
is not possible
§ Inspect for quality and
take action after the
products are produced
§ Reactive approach
Quality
Maintenance
§ Sets zero defect as the
goal
§ Establish and maintain
the conditions to create
zero-defect products
§ Preventive approach

Quality Maintenance – Target
§ Achieve and sustain customer
complaints at zero
§ Reduce in-process defects by
50%
§ Reduce cost of quality by 50%

“Quality is more
important than quantity.
One home run is much
better than two
doubles.”
Steve Jobs

Basic Principles of Quality Maintenance
Defects due to
processing conditions
Defects due to
equipment precision
Defects due to
the people involved
Quality Defects
Creation of equipment that
doesn’t produce defects
Training operators who know
their equipment well
Fostering maintenance
management ability
(the ability to spot abnormalities
that may cause defects and to deal
with them quickly and correctly)
Setting standard conditions for
equipment that doesn’t produce
defects
Management of standard
conditions that don’t produce
defects
Zero defects

Prerequisites for Promoting Quality Maintenance
Developing an equipment-competent workforce

Eliminating forced deterioration

new products and new machinery

§ Failing to maintain

§ Failing to operate

§ Failure to control

§ Lack of skills and
knowledge
It is essential to eliminate forced deterioration through Autonomous Maintenance,
thereby extending and stabilizing component lifetimes.

What are the 4Ms?
MATERIALS
Do the materials meet the required
specifications? Do the materials from
the previous process meet your input
requirements?
MEN / WOMEN
Do our employees have the skill and
motivation to do what is expected of
them safely, consistently and effectively?
Do they adhere to standards?
MACHINES
Are the processing equipment, jigs and
tools, and measuring equipment capable
of safe and reliable output at the
desired quality and rate?
METHODS
Are the processing conditions, work
methods and measuring techniques
in place to ensure and support consistent,
safe production?
The 4Ms

§ The 8 steps of Quality
Maintenance provide a
systematic approach to defect
loss elimination
§ It is based on the Plan-Do-
Check-Act (PDCA) model
§ The process can be used to
improve OEE and eliminate the
16 big losses
§ It is used with analytical tools
(e.g. IE tools, QC tools, P-M
analysis, etc.) to solve problems

can uncover its cause
and work to prevent it
