Applying Selected Quality Management Tools to Creation the Ecological Quality of Manufacturing Processes and Products

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to theoretically verify whether or not it is possible to apply some selected quality management tools to model the ecological quality of manufacturing processes and products in a company that is a plant manufacturing steel structures, traction towers, and lamp posts. Also, there are presented methods involving these selected quality management tools, and aiming at: solving problems occurring in this company, improving the quality of the company’s products and services, and decreasing the production costs. With quality management tools applied to determining detrimental effects of manufacturing processes and products manufactured on the environment, it is possible to control them within the entire product’s life cycle, as well to take effective corrective actions for the purpose of improving both the quality and the environment.
