Developing management systems towards integrated manufacturing: a case study perspective

Abstract

In manufacturing in recent years there has been a proliferation of management techniques to support the advances in manufacturing technologies. Different departments and functions often operate these management systems. Traditionally, systems such as quality management (ISO 9000 series), environmental management (ISO 14001), maintenance management (TPM and 5S), operations management (JIT and kaizen) and occupational health and safety management (BS 8800) are operated independently by quality, works engineering, maintenance and production departments. Clearly these management systems have to be brought together and combined in order for an organization to be able to develop an effective integrated manufacturing system. This paper outlines the need to bring these management systems together. It discusses a case study whereby such management systems, traditionally run by separate departments, have come together in order to contribute towards the development of an integrated manufacturing system.

Applicability of the lean concept to the management of small-scale manufacturing enterprises in Serbia

“…The 5S tool consists of five elements: sort (classification of objects as waste, rarely used pieces and necessary pieces), set in order (establish a working environment that involves discipline, cleanliness and timely preparation for operation), shine (cleaning, painting and routine maintenance of the working space and environment), standardize (defining and standardizing procedures related to the working process, tasks and activities), and sustain (implement and maintain the 5S tool at the institutional and organizational level of the enterprise) [7]. The use of 5S tool results in less human effort, space, and capital, shorter processing time, and fewer mistakes, and can be a starting platform for the integrated management system [20].…”

Conceptualisation for Implementing Total Productive Maintenance Through the Iso 9001:2008 Standard-Based Quality Management System

“…In a search through the literature, no system integrating TPM and ISO 9001 certification could be identified. Only a few authors [7,8,9] …”

Relationship between 5S Implementation and Green Performance of Malaysian Manufacturing SMEs: A Conceptual Model

“…Amalan 5S turut menjadi asas kepada pengurusan alam sekitar (O'hEocha 2000) dan pelaksanaan sistem ISO 14001 (Ho 2006). Beberapa penyelidik merumuskan amalan 5S boleh digunakan sebagai strategi penambahbaikan untuk meningkatkan prestasi syarikat yang merangkumi produktiviti, kualiti, kos, penghantaran, keselamatan dan moral melalui pelaksanaan integrated management system (IMS) (Bamber et al 2000 (Souza & Voss 2008). Kajian terdahulu telah membincangkan hubungan di antara pelaksanaan 5S dan ciri-ciri struktur syarikat, iaitu seperti saiz syarikat dan jenis produk yang dihasilkan.…”
