4M procedures canbe digitized with the Augmented & Connected Worker increasing accuracy,standardisation,and guidance to guarantee a correct process execution.
What is the 4M Analysis?
The 4M method is widely used in manufacturing for troubleshooting and risk management. It categorizes issues impacting operations into Materials, Methods, Machines, or Manpower. Any 4M-related problem can result in errors or downtime, emphasizing the need for clear improvement definitions, identification of potential issues, and prompt resolution.
How is the 4M Analysis implemented?
The process is divided into 4 categories and must be executed accordingly.Man:Competencies, organization, resources, and communicationMachine:Setup/installation, supplier, and equipment’s designMethods:Issues can be related to the process procedures or schedulesMaterials:Design, or material qualityOthers:External factors such as demand or budget
