QUALITY MANAGEMENT AT THE ENTERPRISES OF THE AIR-SPACE CLUSTER ON THE BASIS OF STANDARDIZATION

The article covers the problem of quality management on the basis of standardization as the main instrument of competitiveness improving in the absence of Federal law "About standardization" which became inoperative on the 1^st of July, 2003. The authors suggest the processes control chart which is based on Deming Cycle PDCA consisting of the following cycles: analysis, planning, carrying out, standardization; the algorithm of application of statistical techniques as the base for initial understanding of how to use the statistical techniques and the principles of variability for making the effective decisions. The authors consider the main instruments of statistical processes control (histograms, check lists, С_р, С_к) and the strategy of "6 sigmas". It is offered to use corporate standards (CS) – standards for processes and standards for assessment methods – as one of the main instruments of the process quality management. Standards for processes specify key requirements for technology of manufacturing of various products at all stages of the product life cycle. Standards for methods of the product quality assessment (check, control) should primarily provide comprehensive check-up of all obligatory requirements for the product quality. The efficient adoption of CS within the actual enterprise operation environment should be based on the following main principles: complexity; integratedness; consistency; targeting. The existing normative documents base of the aeronautic cluster should be considerably updated. The authors suggested the main lines of work on standardization at the enterprises of the branch.
