Total quality control

Combining the practice of preventive maintenance and total quality control and total employee involvement results in an innovative system for equipment maintenance that optimizes effectiveness, eliminates breakdowns, and promotes autonomous operator maintenance through day-to-day activities. This concept known as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) was conceived by Seiichi Nakajima and is well-documented in his book Introduction of TPM and is highly recommended reading for all involved in the maintenance area.

While methods validation and accuracy testing considerations presented here have been frequently discussed in the literature, they have been included here to emphasize their importance in the design of a total quality control protocol. The Youden two sample quality control scheme has been adapted for continuous analytical performance surveillance. Methods for graphical display of systematic and random error patterns have been presented with simulated performance data. Daily examination of the T, D, and Q quality control plots may be used to assess analytical performance. Once identified, patterns in the quality control plots can be used to assist in the diagnosis of a problem. Patterns of behavior in the systematic error contribution are more frequent and easy to diagnose. However, pattern complications in both error domains are observed and simultaneous events in both T and D plots can help to isolate the problems. Point-by-point comparisons of T and D plots should be made daily (immediately after the data are generated). Early detection of abnormal behavior reduces the possibility that large numbers of samples will require reanalysis.

Two important definitions are those of quality control and quality assurance. The former relates to operational techniques and activities, whereas the latter ensures that systematic actions are in place which enable confidence that the results meet the required level of quality, such as accuracy and precision. The concept of total quality control extends to areas such as management style and reduction of waste.

Total quality management became popular in the 1990s, after decades of a move toward taking quality control from the factory floor operator to a management-centered operation (total quality control of Ishikawa in 1950-1960 [Ishikawa 1985, page 215]) to the holistic approach enshrined in stan-...
