You came to us one year ago asking a similar question (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=128990#post128990) but never replied to questions in that thread.

Secondly, it is not considered good form to use acronyms without explaining them. This is a forum for ALL levels of knowledge and comprehension and we want to make all posts understandable and accessible to all users.

That said, we hope you will have the courtesy to return and amend your post this year and respond to questions and comments, unlike your thread begun last year.

My answer is "Step by Step" .

There are many tools, first take one, SDCA and PDCA (The two wheels of improvement)

:lmao::frust:
I know what SDCA and PDCA mean, but other readers may not. Please return and explain first use of ANY acronym.

Please return and explain first use of ANY acronym.

Or "abbreviations," since no acronyms were used. :D

SDCA: standardize, Do, Check, Act (make it the new S-D-C-A cycle).
PDCA: Plan, Do, Check, Act

Or "abbreviations," since no acronyms were used. :D

Like so much of today's language - this one appears to be changing also:

Main Entry: ac·ro·nym
Pronunciation: 'a-kr&-"nim
Function: noun
Etymology: acr- + -onym
: a word (as NATO, radar, or laser) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term; also : an abbreviation (as FBI) formed from initial letters : INITIALISM

Acronyms and Abbreviations....

To the original poster, lakhs_g, I strongly recommend that you try using the "Search" function here in the Cove. It is towards the top right of the screen...below the box which says "Welcome, lakhs_g." Enter in key words. You may try your acronyms and abbreviations - some of them will probably work - but as Wes has said, not all companies or industries use the same terms.

My own company started something called "Operational Excellence"....thankfully, we're now calling it "Lean". And what were once referred to as "Quick Improvement Events" we're now calling Kaizen Blitzes. It's nice to speak the language of the manufacturing world. :lol:

At the very top of your screen, in the middle, will be something called "More Free Files". If you click there, you might also find some presentations on the subjects you are asking about.

The concepts about which you ask have been discussed here before - more or less. There are all concepts that deserve threads dedicated to them on an individual basis. As well, the idea of implementing them, is to vague for us to provide you with one short answer...let alone an answer that will work for you.

Each company is different. Each organization is different. Each industry is different. These variables mean that implementation techniques will vary. What works in my company would not necessarily work for yours, unfortunately.

When you have done the research, let us know if you still have questions.

Wes, I am just curious, what made you search that this contributor had given the similar question a year back ? :rolleyes:

TPR is Total Process Realiability.

TPM has been evolved in to TPR.

SLIM - Supportive leadership improved management of
Supportive leadership integrated management.
The leaders in the top management that what we call
as steering committee has to take it very seriously in implementing any
of the concepts.

This new revolution has occured in US only.
That's why i think you have known or heard of it.

But It is my mistake that i have given in abbrevations. sorry.

I will correct my language.

I hope that u have got my abbreavations clear.

other abbrevations - TPM- total Prodductive manitenance
Lean- lean manaufacturing such as 5S, visual control,3M(Muda of waste) etc.,

Frequently, folks in America will infer that "everybody" in a foreign country thinks one way or does things one way, simply because they read or "heard" about an isolated instance.

Similarly, folks in foreign countries will infer ALL Americans do things the same way or think the same way because they have seen or heard one or two isolated instances of such behavior or thinking.

Recently, we had a review and relatively long thread about an article written by Praveen Gupta.(http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=164720#post164720) Without the benefit of the dissenting voices in that thread, a casual reader could be forgiven for inferring from reading ONLY Praveen's article that it was the next "new wave" in Quality thinking.

In general, the old adage about "A$$-U-ME" holds true - that assuming something not absolutely proven and in evidence can make an A$$ out of U [you] and ME. Thus, we suggest always spelling out the entire word or phrase when using an abbreviation or acronym for the first time when it is not explained earlier in the thread.
