Machine capabilityMachine capability is determined by comparing the tolerance and variation in production with a single production setting. Mathematical and statistical methods are usually used for assessment and verification considering both short-term variations following a major process-influencing failures and factors independent from the machine itself. |
Machine capability testMachine capability test is a qualification test of machinery used for production of individual products. |
ManagementConsistently closed regulation cycle consisting of definition of objectives, measurement of objective completion and relevant corrective and improvement actions (e.g. PDCA). |
Management systemSystem to establish policy and objectives and to achieve those objectives. |
Maturity levelReference to a VDA publication (if the definition is specific to a particular publication, different from it, or complementary to an applicable standard): Robust manufacturing process. |
Maturity level estimateReference to a VDA publication (if the definition is specific to a particular publication, different from it, or complementary to an applicable standard): Automotive SPICE . |
Maturity level profileReference to a VDA publication (if the definition is specific to a particular publication, different from it, or complementary to an applicable standard): Automotive SPICE . |
MBO - Management by ObjectivesManagement by objectives so that managers have fewer things to worry about and initiative is promoted as well as staff motivation. This requires establishment of procedures for setting, monitoring and achieving objectives. |
Means of productionThe term stands for all the equipment and its components used for production, adjustment, testing, transportation and storage of customer's products (e.g. machinery, equipment, tools, agents, gauges). |
MeasurementMeasurement is an experimental procedure to determine particular values of physical quantities as multiples of a unit or reference values. |
