TQM
Total Quality Management
What does Quality mangagement mean
quality management refers to a function and all organizational measures that serve to improve process quality, work quality and thus product and service quality.
How were quality management systems started?
The concept of quality management can be traced back to medieval Europe when craftsman guilds developed strict guidelines for how products were inspected for defects. This craftsmanship model with an emphasis on inspections and quality control extended through the early years of the Industrial Revolution
What are TQM techniques achieving?
Total quality management (TQM) is a management technique that emphasizes continuous improvement over all the mechanisms of the organization to make quality products and services to maintain long-term customer satisfaction as well as employees.
How has the implementation of quality management affected Japan?
The Japanese, who were already tirelessly innovative and produced with high quality, have gained even more quality through TQM. The example of Toyota shows how good the quality of Japanese products was and how much the Japanese exported through TQM

What does "maintenance" mean on an ICE, for example?
An inspection lasting about one and a half hours is carried out every 8,000 kilometers. The collecting tanks of the WCs are emptied and fresh water is refilled. Acute defects (for example, doors that do not close) are also repaired. In addition, safety-relevant maintenance work is carried out.
(Machine maintenance is the work that keeps mechanical equipment running with minimal downtime. Machine maintenance can include regular maintenance, routine inspections, and both planned and emergency repairs. It also includes replacing or realigning parts that are worn, damaged or misaligned. In the case of an ICE, for example, brakes, drive components or defective doors and even if nothing is renewed, everything is tested for functionality.)
What does ‘maintenance’ could mean for a thermal power plant?
During maintenance, experts inspect the power plant and its components. This involves the following tasks, among others:
Change wearing parts
Checking components of the plant for visible damage
Repair damage if necessary
Check settings
On the one hand, maintenance ensures that the plant continues to produce as much energy after several years as it did at the beginning. On the other hand, maintenance is necessary so that employees can continue to work safely on the machines.
What does ‘warranty’ mean? Try to explain with the example of a milling machine?
The manufacturer of the milling machine
is obliged to give a warranty on his product.
That is, to guarantee that all non-wearing parts fulfill their purpose for a minimum period of, for example, two years. If a part such as the drive motor or the main frame of the milling machine should break within the warranty period through no fault of its own, the manufacturer must pay for the repair.
What does ‘troubleshooting’ mean for an electric motor for example?
Use a multimeter or an ohmmeter to test the voltage of the electric motor. If there is no resistance or the resistance is uneven, the motor is likely faulty. Check the bearings to make sure they can spin freely. If they can't, lubricate them, etc.
