Production Management Integrating Safety, Quality and Productivity
Activities for process safety management are considered troublesome and are often not actively pursued in production workplaces. For effective production management, the inseparably associated viewpoints of safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC) should be integrated. This paper proposes an integrated approach for production management based on an SQDC process-sheet, which adds to the conventional quality control (QC) process chart points of deliberate safety management through the plant lifecycle engineering. Promotion of integrated production management based on the SQDC process-sheet allows the "visualization (mieruka)" of management activities in the production workplace.
