Unity, consistency, and coherence are the sources of discipline and strength in a corporate team. In the advancement of TnPM, quantification, visualization, and color coding should be employed; employee uniforms, behavioral standards, as well as assessment systems must all have a unified design and standards, along with comparable evaluation criteria and easily recognizable features. On the production floor, despite differences in machine or production line structure, operations, operating methods, maintenance techniques and difficulties, as well as working environments, and varying levels of employee competence, there should be consistency in the aspects that are agreed upon by all. Things such as the definition of the content within the designated marked areas, the meaning of alarm signals, the colors and styles of employees’ uniforms, the items and format of standardized work instructions, and the understanding and interpretation of 6S should all be unified, consistent, and free of ambiguity. A well-coordinated army can induce resonance in a bridge; a unified TnPM workplace can drastically reduce work errors, on-site accidents, equipment failures, and quality defects, bringing order, consistency, smoothness, and stability to everything. McDonald’s locations around the world all have a uniform logo, interior design, staff uniforms, and service standards; even the types of foods, their flavors, and colors are consistent. This is the power of McDonald’s.
