Quantification of the quality problems in the construction machinery production

摘要

Paper presents results of the research findings on the quality problems analysis conducted in the chosen enterprise producing a machinery for the construction industry. The aim of the study was to identify the causes and consequences of the quality problems in the production by using selected methods and tools of the quality management, as well as to identify opportunities to minimize the existing risks in the production process. The results show that approximately 77% of production losses are caused by incompatibilities resulting from two quality problems caused by employee errors and the low quality level of supplied screw taps. The results of the study indicate the corrective measures that may be taken in the company in order to eliminate and reduce identified production problems contributing to the production of machines that do not meet building standards.
