Discover the Benefits of Defect Elimination

Defect Elimination is a powerful tool to maintain optimal performance in your system. By implementing the DE process, you will benefit from the following:

  • Improved quality and reliability
  • Cost savings through reduction of scrap, rework, and warranty costs
  • Increased productivity and efficiency
  • Better equipment utilization
  • Enhanced safety and environmental performance

Defect Elimination Process

What is Defect Eimintion?

This is a structured process in which defects are analyzed and corrective action is implemented to prevent future occurrences.

A Defect Elimination program is a structured process adopted by organisation to become more consistent and reliable in eliminating defects. This is a systematic approach to consistently apply defect elimination across the operations of an organisation, in case of any of any opportunities worthy of attention. Root cause analysis is at the core of such a program and is used to identify the ‘root cause’ of a defect.

By eliminating defects we should ideally reduce overall cost of operation, providing an advantage over competition. Our foundation for asset management and defect elimination is built on the ISO 55000 standard. To learn more about this click here.

Our system

Our System Provides Reliability Engineers with a powerful yet flexible and simple system to conduct root cause analysis and structured problem solving. The  process steps in identifying root cause and ultimately the most effective solutions.

Key steps in the process include:

  • Defining the problem
  • Measuring: Getting the evidence
  • Analysis
  • Implementing the solutions
  • Controlling and sustaining

The output of the DE process is an action oriented A3 pack with roles, responsibilities and implementation timelines.

The DE Process also prioritises problems into 3 levels depending on severity and hence level of detailed analysis;

  1. Level 1: Minor – 5 WHY
  2. Level 2: Recurring problem – A3
  3. Level 3: Serious problem – Full RCA or FMEA
