Defining Quality Definition of quality is dependent on the

people defining it There is a lack of a single, universal

definition of quality 5 common definitions include

Conformance to specifications Fitness for use Value for price paid Support services Psychological criteria

© Wiley 2007 5

Defining Quality – 5 Ways Conformance to specifications

Does product/service meet targets and tolerances defined by designers?

Fitness for use Evaluates performance for intended use

Value for price paid Evaluation of usefulness vs. price paid

Support services Quality of support after sale

Psychological e.g. Ambiance, prestige, friendly staff

© Wiley 2007 6

Manufacturing Quality vs. Service Quality Manufacturing quality focuses on

tangible product features Conformance, performance, reliability, features

Service organizations produce intangible products that must be experienced Quality often defined by perceptional factors

like courtesy, friendliness, promptness, waiting time, consistency

© Wiley 2007 7

Cost of Quality Quality affects all aspects of the

organization Quality has dramatic cost implications of;

Quality control costs Prevention costs Appraisal costs

Quality failure costs Internal failure costs External failure costs

© Wiley 2007 8

Cost of Quality – 4 Categories

Early detection/prevention is less costly May be less by a factor of 10

TQM Philosophy TQM Focuses on identifying quality problem root

causes Encompasses the entire organization Involves the technical as well as people Relies on seven basic concepts of

Customer focus Continuous improvement Employee empowerment Use of quality tools Product design Process management Managing supplier quality

© Wiley 2007 12

TQM Philosophy - concepts Focus on Customer

Identify and meet customer needs Stay tuned to changing needs, e.g. fashion

styles Continuous Improvement

Continuous learning and problem solving, e.g. Kaizen, 6 sigma

Benchmarking Employee Empowerment

Empower all employees; external and internal customers

© Wiley 2007 13

TQM Philosophy– Concepts (continued) Team Approach

Teams formed around processes – 8 to 10 people

Meet weekly to analyze and solve problems Understanding Quality Tools

Ongoing training on analysis, assessment, and correction, & implementation tools

Studying practices at “best in class” companies

Plan-Do-Study-Act

Ways of Improving Quality Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle (PDSA)

Also called the Deming Wheel after originator Circular, never ending problem solving process

Seven Tools of Quality Control Tools typically taught to problem solving teams

Quality Function Deployment Used to translate customer preferences to

design

PDSA Details Plan

Evaluate current process Collect procedures, data, identify problems Develop an improvement plan, performance

objectives Do

Implement the plan – trial basis Study

Collect data and evaluate against objectives Act

Communicate the results from trial If successful, implement new process

© Wiley 2007 16

PDSA (continued)

Cycle is repeated After act phase, start planning and repeat process

Seven Tools of Quality Control Cause-and-Effect Diagrams Flowcharts Checklists Control Charts Scatter Diagrams Pareto Analysis Histograms

© Wiley 2007 18

Cause-and-Effect Diagrams Called Fishbone Diagram Focused on solving identified quality problem

© Wiley 2007 19

Flowcharts Used to document the detailed steps in a

process Often the first step in Process Re-Engineering

© Wiley 2007 20

Checklist Simple data check-off sheet designed to

identify type of quality problems at each work station; per shift, per machine, per operator

© Wiley 2007 21

Control Charts Important tool used in Statistical Process

Control – Chapter 6 The UCL and LCL are calculated limits used

to show when process is in or out of control

© Wiley 2007 22

Scatter Diagrams A graph that shows how two variables

are related to one another Data can be used in a regression analysis

to establish equation for the relationship

© Wiley 2007 23

Pareto Analysis Technique that displays the degree of importance for each

element Named after the 19th century Italian economist Often called the 80-20 Rule Principle is that quality problems are the result of only a few

problems e.g. 80% of the problems caused by 20% of causes

© Wiley 2007 24

Histograms A chart that shows the frequency distribution of

observed values of a variable like service time at a bank drive-up window

Displays whether the distribution is symmetrical (normal) or skewed

© Wiley 2007 25

Product Design - Quality Function Deployment Critical to ensure product design meets

customer expectations Useful tool for translating customer

specifications into technical requirements is Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

QFD encompasses Customer requirements Competitive evaluation Product characteristics Relationship matrix Trade-off matrix Setting Targets

Reliability – critical to quality Reliability is the probability that the

product, service or part will function as expected

No product is 100% certain to function properly

Reliability is a probability function dependent on sub-parts or components

© Wiley 2007 29

Reliability – critical to quality Reliability of a system is the product

of component reliabilitiesRS = (R1) (R2) (R3) . . . (Rn)RS = reliability of the product or systemR1 = reliability of the components

Increase reliability by placing components in parallel

© Wiley 2007 30

Reliability – critical to quality Increase reliability by placing

components in parallel Parallel components allow system

to operate if one or the other fails

RS = R1 + (R2* Probability of needing 2nd component)

© Wiley 2007 31

Process Management Quality products come from quality

sources Quality must be built into the process Quality at the source is belief that it

is better to uncover source of quality problems and correct it

TQM extends to quality of product from company’s suppliers

Quality Awards and Standards Malcolm Baldrige National

Quality Award (MBNQA) The Deming Prize ISO 9000 Certification ISO 14000 Standards

© Wiley 2007 33

MBNQA- What Is It? Award named after the former Secretary of

Commerce – Regan Administration Intended to reward and stimulate quality

initiatives Given to no more that two companies in

each of three categories; manufacturing, service, and small business

Past winners; Motorola Corp., Xerox, FedEx, 3M, IBM, Ritz-Carlton

The Deming Prize Given by the Union of Japanese Scientists

and Engineers since 1951 Named after W. Edwards Deming who

worked to improve Japanese quality after WWII

Not open to foreign companies until 1984 Florida P & L was first US company winner

© Wiley 2007 35

ISO Standards ISO 9000 Standards:

Certification developed by International Organization for Standardization

Set of internationally recognized quality standards

Companies are periodically audited & certified ISO 9000:2000 QMS – Fundamentals and Standards ISO 9001:2000 QMS – Requirements ISO 9004:2000 QMS - Guidelines for Performance More than 40,000 companies have been certified

ISO 14000: Focuses on a company’s environmental

responsibility

Why TQM Efforts Fail Lack of a genuine quality culture

Lack of top management support and commitment

Over- and under-reliance on SPC methods

© Wiley 2007 37

TQM Within OM TQM is broad sweeping organizational change TQM impacts

Marketing – providing key inputs of customer information

Finance – evaluating and monitoring financial impact Accounting – provides exact costing Engineering – translate customer requirements into

specific engineering terms Purchasing – acquiring materials to support product

development Human Resources – hire employees with skills necessary Information systems – increased need for accessible

information

© Wiley 2007 38

Chapter 5 Highlights TQM is different from the old concept of quality

as it focus is on serving customers, identifying the causes of quality problems, and building quality into the production process

Four categories of quality cost of prevention, appraisal, internal and external costs

Seven TQM notable individuals include Walter A. Shewhart, W. Edwards Demings, Joseph M. Juran, Armand V. Feigenbaum, Philip B. Crosby, Kaoru Ishikawa, and Genichi Taguchi

© Wiley 2007 39

Chapter 5 Highlights - Continued

Seven features of TQM combine to create TQM philosophy; customer focus, continuous improvement, employee empowerment, use of quality tools, product design, process management, and managing supplier quality

QFD is a tool used to translate customer needs into specific engineering requirements

Reliability is the probability that the product will functions as expected

The Malcom Baldridge Award is given to companies to recognize excellence in quality management.
