The OCAP: predetermined responses to out-of-control conditions

Article Abstract:

A control chart is valuable for its application to out-of-control situations, information from which can be readily identified and categorized. An out-of-control action plan (OCAP) is a new tool that guides operators through repeatable and defined responses to out of control situations. OCAP provides effective management of uncontrolled events resulting in greater efficiency in manufacturing processes. The repeatable responses provided by OCAP can be analyzed and corrected allowing ease in minimizing sources of variability.

A look at the Rosemount Plant

Article Abstract:

Four world-class companies that employ total quality management (TQM) technique were studied including Rosemount Plant, or what is formally called the Rosemount Measurement Div of the Fisher-Rosemount Group of the Emerson Electric Co. The plant has been recognized as one of the best factories in the US based on an annual survey conducted by Industry Week magazine in 1993. The rating was based on Rosemount's ability to reduce manufacturing costs by 50% and save cycle time by 62% in three years due to its employment of TQM.
