Quality Management Systems Implementation In Tmeic Motor Factory

Abstract

This paper explains the implementation of Quality Management System right from the inception of factory. At first stage, to establish the plant quality system, Sample Motor Accomplishment Project (SMAP) was conceived. A CFT (Cross Functional Team) was formed so that quality systems are established at all functions viz. Design, PPC, SCM, Production, QAQC. The supplier quality evaluations were also performed to establish quality for outsourced parts. 5 Sample products covering the complete manufacturing range of motors were selected, the necessary regulations, QCP, WSS check-sheets, design standards, material standards, manufacturing standard documents were prepared as part of quality documents. The products were designed, manufactured, and tested complying to above stated quality documents. The entire process was validated and confirmed by Japan Technology Executive. The necessary awareness on Quality Management Systems, Internal auditor course were provided to concerned employees. In the second stage, Motor Factory decided to get the QMS certified as per ISO 9001-2015 standard. Accordingly, approached reputed international certifying agency, got the audit done and obtained QMS certification. The paper explains the initiatives taken to share the learnings constantly and upgrading the supplier know-how and know-why related to Quality Management Systems. The paper will also share few experimential learnings, best practices related to unified systems, new capabilities being added to the existing QMS Systems, analytic solutions to improve the system.
