Chapter 8 of TPM Instructor Course.
The only way we can achieve our goal of zero quality defects is to discard the reactive, “shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted” type of approach, where we only examine quality after it has already been built into the product.
In this chapter will teach how build a system for controlling the causes of quality – in other words, establish and maintain the “zero-defect conditions” mentioned earlier. “Controlling quality through its causes” is the essence of Quality Maintenance.
