“…During last several decades and due to the growing need for improvement of businesses, several continuous improvement methodologies were based on an elementary concept of process and quality improvement to simplify the production, improve quality and reduce the waste in organizations processes (Bhuiyan and Baghel, 2005). Continuous improvement researchers stated many ways for organization's processes improvement and some of them include Kaizen (Jacobson et al, 2009), Six Sigma (Anthony, Kumar and Madu, 2005), Deming Cycle (Dhafr et al, 2006), Total Quality Management (Sirinivasu et al, 2010), Balanced Score Cards (Dabhilkar and Bengtsson, 2016) and Lean Production (Deming, 2012). The most known and widely used by different industries are Lean thinking and Six Sigma.…”

Increased organizational efficiency should be one of the main strategic goals of every business. Ways of achieving it differ and one of the many choices is to improve business operations using available tools such as the “20 keys methodology”. This methodology is used to achieve strategic goals through the enhanced speed of learning and innovation. The aim of this paper is to look at the potential of 20 keys methodology for the improvement of company’s organizational efficiency in today’s global market. This integrated set of different tools is intended to increase the company’s efficiency and level of quality with synchronized cost reduction. 20 keys tend to eliminate various “wastes” in production processes to improve buyer’s satisfaction and motivate employees to act towards achieving company’s goals. Eventually, the methodology application should ensure a sustainable development, profitability, and integrated approach to competitiveness and long-term success of the company. The paper examines the implementation of the 20 keys methodology in Croatia and presents one case of a local production company using the methodology aiming to increase the organizational efficiency. Further research proposals are brought to confirm the potential influence of methodology on organizational efficiency.

“…Quality improvement means the promotion of standards and the reduction of product defects. A defect is a gap between the expected results and observed results [1]. Consequently, identifying product defects, determining their causes, and implementing corrective actions to reduce defects are essential and inevitable matters for manufacturing organizations.…”

Abstract-Manufacturing organizations have to improve the quality of their products regularly to survive in today's competitive production environment. This paper presents a method for identification of unknown patterns between the manufacturing process parameters and the defects of the output products and also of the relationships between the defects. Discovery of these patterns helps practitioners to achieve two main goals: first, identification of the process parameters that can be used for controlling and reducing the defects of the output products and second, identification of the defects that very probably have common roots. In this paper, a fuzzy data mining algorithm is used for discovery of the fuzzy association rules for weighted quantitative data. The application of the association rule algorithm developed in this paper is illustrated based on a net making process at a netting plant. After implementation of the proposed method, a significant reduction was observed in the number of defects in the produced nets.

“…In the research eld of quality management, most quality improvement methods have focused on customer satisfaction with the quality of product or on the monitoring of the core process of the product. Dhafr et al [6] presented a developed methodology for quality improvement in manufacturing organizations by identifying various sources of quality defects on the product. Du et al [7] proposed a stream of variation methodology to analyze, predict, and control the product quality in the complex multi-stage manufacturing systems.…”

Abstract. Good quality and low manufacturing cost are the two main factors for the enterprises to increase their core competitiveness. In order to reduce manufacturing cost and to promote quality of product, we propose a Quality Improvement (QI) method based on product quality gene evolution for building materials and equipment. First, we present the connotation of the product quality improvement based on quality gene. Second, the product quality gene evolution method based on genetic algorithm is adopted to achieve the product quality improvement. Finally, we use mill-type cylinder tube as an example to illustrate the proposed algorithm process. Experimental results have shown that the proposed approach is able to support quality improvement.
