COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND SELECTION OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE SYSTEM FOR MACHINING PRODUCTION

Abstract

The article examines modern approaches to quality management in the mechanical engineering industry, in particular, Six Sigma, 5S and Total Quality Management (TQM) methodologies. The article analyses their effectiveness in improving the accuracy, reliability and productivity of production processes, as well as their impact on reducing the level of defects and optimizing costs. The practical experience of implementing these methods in leading companies such as Toyota, General Electric and Motorola is considered. It is determined that the combination of TQM, Six Sigma and 5S provides a systematic approach to quality improvement, increases production efficiency and contributes to the long-term success of enterprises.
