What are the specific concepts of six elements (people, machines, things, environment, methods and measurement) in quality management?

In quality management, the six elements are expressed as follows:

People: the operator's understanding of quality, technical proficiency, physical condition, etc.

Machinery: accuracy and maintenance of mechanical equipment and measuring instruments;

Materials: composition, physical and chemical properties of materials;

Methods: This includes production technology, equipment selection and operating procedures.

Ring: mainly refers to whether the measurement method is standardized and correct;

Measurement: temperature, humidity, lighting and cleaning conditions in the workplace;

Because the English initials of these five factors are M and E, they are often abbreviated as 5m1e..

Process is the basic link of product formation, and process quality is the basis of ensuring product quality, which has an important impact on product quality, production cost and production efficiency.

Process standardization plays a key role in ensuring process quality, and it plays a prominent role in process quality improvement. Process quality is influenced by six factors, namely, people, machines, materials, methods, environment and measurement. Process standardization is the standardization of 5m1e.
