World Class Manufacturing Methodology as an Example of Problems Solution in Quality Management System

Abstract:

The article presents the methodology of World Class Manufacturing (WCM) used in one of the factory the mechanical engineering industry. The company has factories all over the world, while in Poland produces on average 800 ready-made machines by a year. The article presents the following pillars WCM: S (Safety) CD (Cost Deployment), Fl (Focused Improvement), AA (Autonomous Activity), PM (Professional Maintenance), QC (Quality Control), L & CS (Logistics & Customer Service), EEM (Early Equipment Management), EPM (Early Product Management), PD (People Development), E (Environment). Each pillar uses methods and tools. By using the methodology of WCM in the factory has reduced losses and improved the quality of the products.
