WHAT IS THE 4M ANALYSIS PROCEDURE?

The 4M is a troubleshooting and risk-management method, commonly used in manufacturing. It allows businesses to identify and group issues that impact operations and affect Materials, Methods, Machines, or Man (workforce).

Therefore, the 4M Analysis aims to avoid situations that may endanger any element of the production, either materials or workers themselves, and that may cause unexpected operational downtime.

HOW IS THE 4M ANALYSIS IMPLEMENTED?

If an issue related to any of the 4Ms occurs, this may lead to greater error or unexpected downtime. Therefore, the process must include a clear improvement definition, followed by a list of potential issues of the method, and, finally, the issues that were identified must be solved quickly.

The main issues can be categorized as follow:

  • Man: Competencies, technology, organization, resources, or bad communication.
  • Machine: Setup/installation, supplier, or even the equipment’s design
  • Methods: Issues can be related to the process procedures or schedules.
  • Materials: Design, or material quality.
  • Other: Other external factors such as demand or budget can also present issues.

HOW CAN DIGITAL PLATFORMS IMPROVE THE PROCESS?
