Abstract
The reasons for the growing interest in lean manufacturing and quality management systems in engineering production systems are considered. It is shown that these systems currently work without proper efficiency. The essence of lean manufacturing and quality management concepts is considered. The main errors in their understanding and application are analyzed. It is established that it is expedient to implement these systems on the basis of research of processes of the organization's activity. The hierarchy of organizational and technological systems is considered and the main tasks solved within the lean manufacturing and quality management systems are presented. The tools of lean manufacturing and quality management are offered, which it is expedient to use in providing highly efficient machine-building production. Suggestions for restructuring of engineering departments of machinebuilding enterprises are given.
