Rate this book
All man-made product originated from a manufacturing process in a factory. Nature’s raw material will go through multiple transformation processes in various manufacturing & logistic entities which form a long supply chain before the product reaches the consumer market. This extended supply chain will increase the complexity of product transformation and the challenges in controlling each process input which resulted in complex quality problems.
Quality issues had caused high manufacturing cost and unhappy customer, hence, threaten the profitability of an organization. Solving a quality problem is very expensive as the production line could already produce an infinite quantity of parts which could reach the customer.

Most of the potential problems are hidden in the process input of man, machine, method, material, measure and environment. Process input which is not set up and control properly will cause quality issues in the process output. There are many aspects in a process input that being neglected as it is not visible, which could affect product quality. For example, a lot attention is given to the surface work in assembling parts where fixture could be used; however, process input fixture and its qualification had been neglected as it is not visible. Who knows the fixture could be the causes of poor-quality product one day?
This book is designed to focus on the setting up and controlling each process input which impact the process output. It aims to be a game-changing plan from firefighting to a proactive approach in achieving a good quality product consistently. There are in depth 360 overview of each process input on how it will impact product quality. This book also includes process output monitoring and the right strategy which include 6 sigma to manage different types of variation for a more predictable result. A manufacturing organization will be more profitable with a lean workforce and lower cost per box by taking a proactive approach in building the product right from the start through rigorous setup, control of manufacturing process inputs and monitoring of process output.
There is a total of 72 figures and 20 tables which simplify all the critical information to enhance the reading experience of this book. This book is suitable for top executives, quality and manufacturing professional who wants to be proactive and in control. It is particularly useful for supplier quality professionals to manage their supplier process using this approach. Readers can immediately understand the concept presented and apply the control in each process to reduce quality issues opportunity. Being proactive means being in control. The worst part is a manufacturing problem always occur at the most inconvenient time, such as the end of the week. Hence, it would be wise to invest more resources upfront to prevent problems from happening.
