Capable of Making the Product Under Actual Operating Conditions

Creating a quality product design should stick to the efficiency and effectiveness of manufacturing. Lean manufacturing focuses on the savings in all production lines must remain the reference. Indeed the general product quality must be built with raw materials, machinery and processes are also expensive. But that does not mean having to add production machinery if there are changes in product design or any new product.

Trends and design changes may often occur in the course of making products that meet the standards of customer demand. However, the appropriate design expertise with production machinery that exists is the main priority in order to obtain maximum benefits.

Toyota Production System: The System of “Kanban”

In this system, the type and number of units required is written on a card similar to a label called "Kanban", sent by workers from one process to another worker in theprevious process. As a result, many processes in the plant will be interconnected. Withinterrelated processes in this plant allows better control in terms of the number needed for various products.

In the Toyota production system, kanban system supported the following things:
- efforts to streamline production
- Standardization of work
- Reduced setup time
- Activities improvement
- The design of machine layout
- autonomation

Determine the Customer's Needs

To achieve the quality that meets customer needs, a manufacturing company should be able to determine the products that really fit with the needs of consumers. Along with the development of demand and customer requirements then there are things to note are:

1. Development of goods and services to meet those needs
There are two items that should receive attention of goods and services. Development of goods in terms of design, reliability, low price is the main priority to be able to compete in the business world in the world. Goods that can not follow the development of time is left on its own. Trends in new goods will be the main priority in designing a product. Through rigorous research stage and will systematically produced product up to date and the product that is able to predict market demand.

Determined Our Customers as a First Step Quality Planning

This is the first in implementing quality management planning as suggested by Juran is to determine our customers. Market segmentation must be accurate so that all the products we produce. Identify the customer is very important to eliminate the activity, work that should not be necessary. Incorrect identification will result in waste production, and many require additional fees.

Quality Planning does not only focus on how to design a product with high quality. But must also consider the effectiveness of production and could reduce waste inproduction. Research design invalid would complicate the production which can lead to waste.
