"Tale of Three Villages"

Tale of Three Villages

 The chiefs of three villages each set out to


build a bridge across a wide chasm. If they
could build this bridge, the trade that came
would enrich the lives of villagers for
generations to come.

Tale of Three Villages

 The first chief told his workers, "Go forth and work. Do
whatever is necessary to build that bridge.
bridge."
 The villagers established a frenzied pace, for this chief
abused those workers who did not follow his commands.
 The first chief boasted to the other two leaders about the
speed of his construction. Unfortunately, because no one
coordinated these worker's efforts, the bridge was a
haphazard collection of nails and boards.boards It soon
collapsed.

Tale of Three Villages

 The second chief was watching this mess and decided to


llearn from
f the
h first
fi chief's
hi f' mistakes.
i k SheSh organized
i d her
h
workers into teams, and gave them a plan to build a
bridge.
 At first, these workers had success, and built the bridge
straight as an arrow far over the chasm. She boasted to
the two other chiefs about the accomplishments of her
workers.
k
 Unfortunately, the next major storm destroyed the
bridge for the chief did not know how to build structural
supports. Her workers became discouraged and
abandoned their efforts.

Tale of Three Villages

 The third chief was watching their efforts and decided to 
llearn from the other chiefs' mistakes. 
 f   h   h   hi f '  i k  
 He sent his workers to the other villages to learn what 
they had done, and what they hadn't done. 
 His workers then developed a plan. In their first step, 
they did not build the bridge at all, but focused on 
creating the support columns they would need. 
 When they completed this task, they rapidly finished 
the bridge.

Lessons learned !

 Many organizations are like the first village in 
implementing Total Quality Management 
(TQM). They start with vague directives with 
little clarity on what to do. Their successes are 
sporadic and likely to fail. 

Lessons learned !

 Other organizations are like the second village, and 
become victims of their own success. Their initial quality 
b   i i   f  h i      Th i  i i i l  li  
improvement teams may be so successful they rapidly 
create more teams, without the qualitative organization‐
wide changes necessary to sustain a permanent effort. 
 Some of these changes are obvious, in that companies 
must facilitate, recognize and encourage these teams.

Talking about 
quality……..

Quality definition

 “Quality”: An elusive term
 “Quality”: Perceived relative value
 “Quality”: A multi‐dimensional concept

INSTITUTING BEST PRACTICES & 
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
 Searching out & adopting “best practices” is 
integral to effective implementation
 Benchmarking has spawned new approaches 
to improving strategy execution
 Reengineering
 Continuous improvement programs
 Total quality management ‐ TQM

INSTITUTING BEST PRACTICES & 
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
 Quality improvement programs are tools for 
implementing strategies keyed to
l k d
 Defect‐free manufacture
 Superior product quality
 Superior customer service
 Total customer satisfaction
 Identifying & implementing best practices 
Id tif i  & i l ti  b t  ti  
is a journey, not a destination; it’s an 
exercise in doing things in a world‐class 
manner!

WHAT IS TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT ‐
TQM?
 Creating a TOTAL QUALITY CULTURE bent 
on CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING the 
performance of every task and value‐chain 
activity!

Business Process Reengineering

“To succeed at reengineering, you have to have 
a visionary, a motivator, and a leg breaker”

Process Redesign (reengineering) [BPR]

 The fundamental rethinking of business 
processes to bring about dramatic 
improvements in performance
 Relies on reevaluating the purpose of the 
process and questioning both the purpose and 
the underlying assumptions
 Requires reexamination of the basic process 
and its objectives
 Focuses on activities that cross functional lines
 Any process is a candidate for redesign

BPR

Does the reengineering consultant see the 
glass as half full or half empty?

Neither!
It’s the wrong size of glass!

Steps in BPR

 State a case for action
 Identify the process for re‐engineering
 Evaluate the enablers (Information technology, Human resources, 
Organizational structure)
 Understand the current process
 Create a new process design
 Implement the new re‐engineered process

 Start all over

IMPLEMENTING A CONTINUOUS 
IMPROVEMENT PHILOSOPHY
 Instill enthusiasm & commitment to doing 
things right from top to bottom of firm
h h f b ff
 Strive to achieve little steps forward each 
day: Kaizen
 Ignite employee efforts to be creative in 
improving performance of value‐chain 
activities
ti iti
 Preach there is no such thing as good enough 
& everyone must be involved
 Reform the corporate culture

BEST PRACTICE PROGRAMS

 Aim at
 Improved efficiency
 Reduced costs
 Better product quality
 Greater customer satisfaction
 Involves benchmarking against companies 
regarded as
 “Best in industry” or
 “Best in world

REENGINEERING & TQM

 Reengineering vs. TQM programs
 REENGINEERING seeks one‐time quantum gains 
on order of 30 to 50% or more
 TQM seeks ongoing incremental improvement
 Reengineering & TQM are not mutually 
exclusive
 First, reengineering is used to produce a good 
Fi t   i i  i   d t   d     d 
basic design yielding dramatic improvements
 Then, TQM is used to perfect process, gradually 
improving efficiency
