Introduction:
What is Quality?
Merriam Websters Collegiate Dictionary,
10th Edition(1994) defines quality as
an inherent feature; degree of excellence;
and superiority in kind
Some definitions that have gained wide
acceptance in the corporate world
Meeting or exceeding customer
expectations
Juran, one of the quality qurus, defined
quality as;
Fitness for Use
Page 3

Introduction

Based on Jurans definiton, quality

therefore does not only have to be
perceived by the customer, but the
customer experience of quality of a
product or service is more important.
Quality does not mean an expensive
product

Page 4

Introduction

The American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) and the American
Society for Quality (ASO) defined
quality as;
The totality of features and
characteristics of a product or service
that bears on its ability to satisfy
customers stated and implied needs.

The Importance of Quality: The Japanese Chain Reaction

Improve Quality
Costs decreases due to fewer defects,
Lesser rework, fewer delays and better use
Of Men, Machine and Materials
Improve Productivity

Capture market with better quality

and lower price
Stay in business

Page 6

Provide more jobs

Introduction

What is a customer?
Anyone who is impacted by the product
or services delivered by an organization
External customer- the end user
Internal customer- other divisions of the
company that receive the processed
product.

Page 7

Introduction

What is a product?
the output of a process carried by the
organization. It may be goods (e.g.
cellphones), software(e.g. a computer
code, a report) or service (e.g. banking,
insurance

Page 8

Introduction

How is customer satisfaction

achieved?
Two Dimensions of Quality:
Product feature- refers to the quality of
design.
In a manufacturing industry, it includes
performance, reliability, durability, ease
of use, esthetics, etc
In a service industry, customer
satisfation is gained through accuracy,
timeliness, friendliness and courtesy,
knowledge of server, etc.
Page 9

Introduction

Freedom from deficiencies refers to

quality of conformance
Conformance to standards- ability of
the product or service to conform to the
stated and implied requirements of
customers.
Higher conformance means fewer
complaint and increased customer
satisfaction

Page 10

Introduction

Why Quality?
Reasons why quality is a cardinal priority
for most organizations.
Competition
Changing customer-the new customer is
not only commanding priority based on
volume but is more demanding about the
quality system
Changing product mix the shift from
low volume high price to high volume, low
price resulted in a need to reduce the
internal cost of poor quality.
Page 11

Introduction
Product complexity- as systems have
become more complex the reliability
requirments for suppliers of components
have bome more stringent
Higher level of customer satisfactionhigher customer expectations are getting
spawned by increasing competition.

History of quality management

To know the future, know the past!
Before Industrial Revolution, skilled craftsmen
served both as manufacturers and inspectors,
building quality into their products through their
considerable pride in their workmanship.
Industrial Revolution changed this basic concept
to interchangeable parts. Likes of ;
F. W. Taylor (scientific management fame)
emphasized on the use of scientific standards
equitably to managers as well as workers.

Page 13

History of quality management

To know the future, know the past!
Adam Smith who advocated dividing the labor
required to make a product into simple, repetitive
tasks in order to develop workers skills, save time
and use specialized tools
Frank and Lilian Gilbreths Time and Motion
economy, they believed that a way a task is
performed is as important as the time it takes to do
it.

Page 14

History of quality management

Statistical approaches to quality control started at
Western Electric with the separation of inspection
division. Pioneers like Dr. Walter Shewhart, Deming
W.Edwards and Joseph M. Juran were all
employees of Western Electric.
Dr. Walter Shewart (1891-1967) developed the Plan, Do,
Check Act (PDCA) cycle for continuous improvement which is
in use even today

After World War II, under General MacArthur's Japan

rebuilding plan, Deming and Juran went to Japan.
- Deming W, Edwards (1900-1993) modified PDCA cycle of

Page 15

Shewart to the Plan, Do, Study and Act (PDSA). He also

advocated the extensive used of statistical quality control theory
to Japanese industry along with Juran.
15

History of quality management

Deming stressed the importance of suppliers and
customers for the business development and
improvement.
He believed that people do their best and it is the system
that must change to improve quality.
His 14 Points for Management formed the basis for his
advise to top Japanese management.

Page 16

History of quality management

Joseph M. Juran (1904), developed the Statistical
Quality Handbook for Western Electric Company. He
identified Fitness of quality and popularized the
same
Juran travelled to Japan to teach is own theories- that
hands-on management was necessary at all levels of
corporation to ensure quality control and that
problems are opportunities to make improvements.
His approach is still known today as the Juran Trilogy;
quality planning, quality control and quality improvement

Page 17

History of quality management

In Japan the following individual took seed from this
training and went on to developed their own major
contributions to what is now Total Quality
Management:
Kaoru Ishikawa (1915-1989), strongly advocated
the use of cause and effect diagram to provide a
true representation of the organizational impact and
procedures. He developed Fishbone or Ishikawa
diagram for cause and effect analyis.
Taichi Ohno, known as the father of just-inTime
production. He is also the co-creator of Toyota
Production System (TPS)
Page 18

History of quality management

Shigeo Shingo worked with Ohno on the TPS process

and developed some of its popular concepts including
poka-yoke (which means mistake-proof in Japanese
and refers to taking human judgement out of some
types of production, thereby minimizing human errors)

Page 19

History of quality management

Next 20 odd years, when top managers in USA
focused on marketing, production quantity and
financial performance, Japanese managers
improved quality at an unprecedented rate.
Market started preferring Japanese products and
American companies suffered immensely.
America woke up to the quality revolution in early
1980s. Ford Motor Company consulted Dr. Deming
to help transform its operations.
(By then, 80-year-old Deming was virtually unknown
in USA. Whereas Japanese government had
instituted The Deming Prize for Quality in 1950.)
Page 20

History of quality management

Managers started to realize that quality of
management is more important than
management of quality. Birth of the term Total
Quality Management (TQM).
TQM Integration of quality principles into
organizations management systems.

Early 1990s: Quality management principles

started finding their way in service industry. FedEx,
The Ritz-Carton Hotel Company were the quality
leaders.
TQM recognized worldwide: Countries like
Korea, India, Spain and Brazil are mounting efforts
to increase quality awareness.

1. Balance Scorecard Robert Kaplan and David
Norton, suggest that a businesss executive team
measure progress in four areas that are equally
important

knowledge

financial performance

Internal business process and

Learning/growth

Using the knowledge to focus the entire organization and its

various programs on balancing the scorecard

2. ISO Standards - The International Standardization
Organization (ISO).
- headquartered in Switzerland
- more than 100 nations are members, that define
and agree on, and abide by a wide rang of product
and process safety and quality standards
- the idea behind ISO certification is that products
made in different nations be compatible for use in
others.
- this allows manufacturers to buy parts from
suppliers in other countries.
Page 28

Major Quality Concepts

- The Quality Management Systems (QMS)
standards are know as ISO 9000 family of
standards; (ISO 9000-2000, ISO 9001-2000, ISO
9004-2000); the environmental management system
are ISO 14000 and so on.
3. Just-in-Time a manufacturing theory of producing
just enough product to fill current orders as they are
due. just in time for them to be used

4. Kaizen a Japanese term fro unending
improvement
-Kaizen represents a system in which management
encourages and implements small, incremental
improvements, involving employees as team members
and creating a culture of workers who all striving to do
better
- it focuses on simplifying complex process and training
employees to measurable improve them.

5. Quality Circles based on a Japanese method of
grouping people together in Quality Control (QC),
meetings where they shared their expertise and worked
to solved a problem or improve process.
6. Six Sigma created by Motorola in 1980s. The name
refers to a scientific way of describing quality based on
variations that occur in any process-plus or minus three
sigmas. Sigma is the Greek letter that signifies the
standard deviations in a mathematical formula.
-the sigma level quantifies defects per million opportunities
(DPMO)

7. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT a comprehensive,
organization-wide effort to improve the quality of products
and services, applicable to all organizations.
- TQM quality is managed by the total effort of an
organization, and that each department or phase of
production is responsible for making its part of the
product or services as flawless as possible before
passing it on the next user or phase.
