STATE OF RESEARCH ON THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT PROCESS THROUGH TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT METHODS IN WOOD INDUSTRY

摘要

Generally speaking, the quality and cost of goods and in particular of wood products are decisive conditions in their sales on the market and at the same time must satisfy the clients’ demands.This article aims to present how can be increased the quality of the final product (including its finishing) through the optimization of the production process by using the total quality management (TCM) methods. This study is destined for using ways and methods to make production more efficient it in the wood industry.The authors, based on the research carried out and brainstorming meetings focused on the choice of a scientific method or criteria for measuring interdependencies in order to optimize the solid wood processing. Poor literature was found in the applicability of Six Sigma method in wood and finished wood products industry.The studies conducted by the authors over the course of two years showed that Six Sigma method is an extremely efficient method for optimizing technological flows in industry.From preliminary research, it was estimated that all the items found contribute to a significant decrease in production costs that are reflected in the cost of the finished/final product and consequently increase of production yield and at the same time maximize the company profit.
