“…In other words, if the number of products requiring rework is minimized due to programs focused on improving the process, then there is a greater likelihood of getting it right the first time. Additionally, if production methods have reduced transport times and operators have been trained, then the likelihood of getting it right the first time increases [39]. Besides, other quality-focused tools that support TQM such as six sigma help eliminate Wastes [40].…”

Effect of Quality Lean Manufacturing Tools on Commercial Benefits Gained by Mexican Maquiladoras

et al. 2021

Companies implement lean manufacturing (LM) tools in their production processes to reduce waste; however, it is difficult to quantify the effect on benefits gained after their implementation. This article proposes a structural equations model (SEM) that relates three LM tools associated with quality as total quality management (TQM), waste, and right first time (RFT) as independent variables associated with commercial benefits gained as a dependent variable. Those four variables were related by six hypotheses that were validated with information from 169 responses to a survey applied to the Mexican maquiladora industry. Partial least squared was used to validate the hypotheses as direct effects. The sum of indirect and total effects was also estimated, and a sensitivity analysis was developed for relationships between variables. Findings indicate that TQM directly affects waste reduction, drives doing RFT, and directly and indirectly affects the commercial benefits gained.
