What are the ways to Manufacturing Excellence?

Excellence is just one of the things manufacturings wanted to achieve. But why excellence? What is it for them? Well, as far as I know, excellence speaks the overall quality and distinction of one company. If your company have this extra ordinary quality products of course consumers will likely be your follower and that's also the reasons why manufacturers are trying hard to achieve it.

There are many ways to achieve it. Many company actually excel using one these ways. Toyota for example were known using the HPM. Many companies in Japan used the 5S. There's also the Lean Manufacturing, the Six Sigma and a lot more.

Considering all of those technique sometimes lead us to a lot of things but leads us to dead end. We tried several of those techniques. The concept was wonderful and ideal but what I think was lacking was that we were not able to focus on how to sustain it. If you evaluate each concepts it has common denominator that whichever you choice you will achieve the excellence you are looking for. But there are also things you have to consider before implementing it. Learn the concept by heart, be objective, don't be too idealistic, plan for it, implement it and most of all know how to sustain it.
