Method of Determining Sequence Actions of Products Improvement

Abstract

Material production processes are special processes. As part of continuous improvement, it is extremely important to find the causes of the incompatibilities that occur in them. To increase the effectiveness of these actions, different methods are used. The purpose of this study was to present an original method that allows the classification to improve the combinations of actions of product with material incompatibility. The originality of this method allows for the sequential and coherent operation of adequate analysis techniques of causes resulting in incompatibilities in the product material and, consequently, identifying the reasons that influence their quality. The presented method was developed using a new combination of brainstorming (BM), the Ishikawa diagram with 5M rule, the DEMATEL method, and the algorithm used in the MATLAB software. As a result of the proposed applied method, it is possible to create a sequence of actions that include interactions between important causes of product incompatibility, which was supported by the test of this method. This method was shown to support the creation of a rank of importance of improvement actions. This ranking allows for improvement of any product according to the possibilities of enterprises and simultaneously allows for reducing or eliminating products’ incompatibilities.

Establishment and implementation of a clinical application and research database for surgical robots in China

“…Meanwhile, the surgical robot research literature database was established to integrate existing evidence‐based medical resources for robotic surgery treatment. This will greatly improve the efficiency of evidence‐based practice retrieval, saving as much of clinicians and managers' time as possible (Esagian et al, 2022; Li, Zhan, et al, 2022; Marcos‐Pablos et al, 2022; Niederberger & Deckert, 2022; Pacana & Siwiec, 2022; Tschann et al, 2022). Since the first da Vinci surgical robot was installed at the Gansu Provincial Hospital in January 2016, our hospital has completed more than 3000 robotic surgeries of various types, ranking among the top single‐operator surgical facilities nationally.…”

Study of the Possibilities of Improving Maintenance of Technological Equipment Subject to Wear

“…Cause-effect diagram (Figure 4) is also called the Ishikawa diagram (after the name of the Japanese researcher Kaouru Ishikawa) or the fishbone diagram [36][37][38]. This diagram is devised in view of establishing the existing relationships between an effect (objective) and the causes to which it is linked.…”

A Novelty Procedure to Identify Critical Causes of Materials Incompatibility

“…This combination allows us to identify all incompatibility causes and then select the most important according to the number of times they occur. In turn, the authors of the article [ 34 , 35 , 36 ] developed methods for analysing the incompatibility of materials or industrial products, in which selected quality management instruments were combined with selected multi-criteria decision methods (MDCM). For example, in article [ 34 ], it was the combined brainstorming method (BM), the Ishikawa diagram with the 5M rule, and the DEMATEL method.…”

“…Based on a review of the literature on the subject, it was shown that research was carried out on the identification and elimination of the causes of non-compliance of materials or industrial products. To date, analyses to identify the causes of the main non-conformities have often involved the use of traditional quality management techniques [ 29 , 31 , 32 , 33 ], which in some cases were supported by selected decision support techniques [ 26 , 34 ]. Furthermore, previous research was found to focus mainly on qualitative aspects (improvement of the quality of materials and industrial products), but aspects of impact on the natural environment were omitted [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”
