Improving the quality of industrial products still is a challenge. Despite using control, there constant need to support this process achieve an effective, precise, and complex analysis product quality. The purpose was develop universal model that supports improving via consistent repetitive determination causes incompatibilities actions leading their elimination; can be integrated with any control product. verification carried out for incompatibility mechanical seal in alloy 410, which porosity cluster identified by fluorescence method (FPI). created SMART(-ER) method. Then, team experts selected from brainstorming (BM) realized. After BM method, source initial were identified. Ishikawa diagram (according rule 5M + E) developed group causes. Next, during main selected. In last stage, 5Why used determine improvement actions, i.e., adjust clotting parameters, introduce obligation undergo periodic training, set aside separate place storing electrodes. Originality combination management tools coherent model, aim identify actions. Additionally, has applications analyzing its incompatibility, it control. Therefore, useful enterprise.
