TPM-Element: Zero-Defect-Strategy

In this element, Development, Production, Maintenance, and Quality Assurance work closely together. The aim is to develop and optimize the production facilities and processes, so that quality defects are mostly eliminated.

Therefore, the reduction of quality faults and reclamation rates is one of the main goals of quality maintenance. Through the reduction of quality faults, the quota of rework and rejects will lessen, which has a positive effect on the costs- situation of the relevant company.
