Preamble
“Every nation has its own independent historical and cultural background. The quality
scenario, therefore, differs from one national setting to the other. The nations are
orienting their quality management strategies and systems to meet the requirements of
the operating environment though the primary focus remains the same, that is, Total
Customer Satisfaction .Many of the present techniques of quality management were
developed in Japan. However, U.S.A., European nations and developing nations have
also contributed significantly to this development. The studies carried out by
researchers in different national settings reveal that the concept and philosophies of
TQM are not understood by the managers and others. An all out effort, therefore is
required to promote the understanding by launching massive educational and
management development programs at all levels so as to create a cultural
consciousness towards quality. TQM is not undimensional approach but is multifaceted
in nature. Understanding these facets is essential to promote a successful quality
improvement program. An integrated approach on all vital components of TQM is
required to achieve the desired goal.”

Total Quality Management
As defined by ISO:
"TQM is a management approach of an organization, centered on quality, based on the
participation of all its members and aiming at long-term success through customer satisfaction,
and benefits to all members of the organization and to society."
In Japanese, TQM comprises four process steps, namely:
1. Kaizen – Focuses on Continuous Process Improvement, to make processes visible, repeatable
and measureable.
2. Atarimae Hinshitsu – Focuses on intangible effects on processes and ways to optimize and
reduce their effects.
3. Kansei – Examining the way the user applies the product leads to improvement in the
noticed the difference. For instance one sales manager reported that a customer had
received a policy within a week of giving a proposal and was so amazed that he said, "If
you give such service I will give you the next policy also!"
4. Adoption of a similar process at the CPC and the model branch for medical policies has
already reduced the average+3 sigma of turnaround time by 70 percent -- from 118 days
to 37 days. The corresponding all-India reduction was from 118 days to 71 days -- a 60
percent reduction.
5. The project objective of 50 percent in the first stage has been achieved.
6. A quality improvement story was compiled by the project Leader for training and
motivating all employees.
Future Actions
Non-medical policies: Goal to reduce turnaround from 42 days to about 15 days.
1. Roll out process to branches to achieve 24 days throughout the country.
2. Minimize rework by analyzing, prioritizing and training sales branches to avoid the
causes of rework.
3. Working with the bank to improve the turnaround time of banking checks.
4. Considering processing proposals while check clearance is in progress.
Medical policies: Goal to reduce turnaround from 71 days to about 24 days.
1. Roll out process to branches to reduce turnaround from 71 to 37 days.
2. Streamline the process of medical exam of the client from 37 to 24 days.

TQM Tools
Total Quality Management (TQM) Tools
Total quality management (TQM) tools help organizations to identify, analyze and assess
qualitative and quantitative data that is relevant to their business. These tools can identify
procedures, ideas, statistics, cause and effect concerns and other issues relevant to their
organizations. Each of which can be examined and used to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency,
standardization and overall quality of procedures, products or work environment, in accordance
with ISO 9000 standards (SQ, 2004).
According to Quality America, Inc. (ReVelle, 2003) the number of TQM tools is close to 100
and come in various forms, such as brainstorming, focus groups, check lists, charts and graphs,
diagrams and other analysis tools. In a different vein, manuals and standards are TQM tools as
well, as they give direction and best practice guidelines to you and/or your staff.
TQM tools illustrate and aid in the assimilation of complicated information such as:
· identification of your target audience
· positive and negative forces affecting business
· assessment of customer needs
· competition analysis
· market analysis
· brainstorming ideas
· productivity changes
· various statistics
· staff duties and work flow analysis
· statement of purpose
· financial analysis
· model creation

· business structure
· logistics analysis
The list goes on, though essentially TQM tools can be used in any situation, for any number of
reasons, and can be extremely effective if used properly.
TQM Tools
The following are some of the most common TQM tools in use today. Each is used for, and
identifies, specific information in a specific manner. It should be noted that tools should be used
in conjunction with other tools to understand the full scope of the issue being analyzed or
illustrated. Simply using one tool may inhibit your understanding of the data provided, or may
close you off to further possibilities.
Pie Charts and Bar Graphs
· Used to identify and compare data units as they relate to one issue or the whole, such as
budgets, vault space available, extent of fonds, etc.
Histograms
· To illustrate and examine various data element in order to make decisions regarding them.
· Effective when comparing statistical, survey, or questionnaire results.
Run Chart
· Follows a process over a specific period of time, such as accrual rates, to track high and low
points in its run, and ultimately identify trends, shifts and patterns.

Pareto Charts / Analysis (designed by Vilfredo Pareto)
· Rates issues according to importance and frequency by prioritizing specific problems or
causes in a manner that facilitates problem solving.
· Identify groupings of qualitative data, such as most frequent complaint, most commonly
purchased preservation aid, etc. in order to measure which have priority.
· Can be scheduled over select periods of time to track changes. They can also be created in
retrospect, as a before and after analysis of a process change.
Force Field Analysis
· To identify driving and restraining forces occurring in a chosen process in order to
understand why that particular process functions as it does. For example, identifying the
driving and restraining forces of catering predominantly to genealogists.
· To identify restraining forces that need to be eradicated, or driving forces that need to be
improved, in order to function at a higher level of efficiency.

Cause and Effect, Ishikawa or Fishbone Diagrams (designed by Kauro Ishikawa)
· Illustrates multiple levels of potential causes (inputs), and ultimate effects (outputs), of
problems or issues that may arise in the course of business.
· May be confusing if too many inputs and outputs are identified. An alternative would be a tree
diagram, which is much easier to follow.
Focus Groups
· Useful for marketing or advertising organizations to test products on the general public.
· Consist of various people from the general public who use and discuss your product,
providing impartial feedback to help you determine whether your product needs improvement or
if it should be introduced onto the market.
Brainstorming and Affinity Diagrams
· Teams using creative thinking to identify various aspects surrounding an issue.
· An affinity diagram, which can be created using anything from enabling software to post-it
notes organized on a wall, is a tool to organize brainstorming ideas.
Tree Diagram
· To identify the various tasks involved in, and the full scope of, a project.
· To identify hierarchies, whether of personnel, business structure, or priorities.
· To identify inputs and outputs of a project, procedure, process, etc.

Flowcharts and Modelling Diagrams
· Assist in the definition and analysis of each step in a process by illustrating it in a clear and
comprehensive manner.
· Identify areas where workflow may be blocked, or diverted, and where workflow is fluid.
· Identify where steps need to be added or removed to improve efficiency and create
standardized workflow.

Scatter Diagram
· To illustrate and validate hunches
· To discover cause and effect relationships, as well as bonds and correlations, between two
variables
· To chart the positive and negative direction of relationships
Relations Diagram
· To understand the relationships between various factors, issues, events, etc. so as to
understand their importance in the overall organizational view.
PDCA
· The Plan-Do-Check-Act style of management where each project or procedure is planned
according to needs and outcome, it is then tested, examined for efficiency and effectiveness, and
then acted upon if anything in the process needs to be altered.
· This is a cyclical style to be iterated until the process is perfected.
All of these TQM tools can be easily created and examined by using various types of computer
software (Pollock, 2003) or by simply mapping them out on paper. They can also be easily
integrated into team meetings, organizational newsletters, marketing reports, and for various
other data analysis needs. Proper integration and use of these tools will ultimately assist in
processing data such as identifying collecting policies, enhancing work flow such as mapping
acquisition procedures, ensuring client satisfaction by surveying their needs and analyzing them
accordingly, and creating an overall high level of quality in all areas of your organization.

Wrapping Up
In world trade, for buyers and sellers to work together there must be trust. Standards can provide the necessary bridge of confidence and understanding that builds mutual trust,
helping trade to thrive.
Sales are the lifeblood of any business, so the implementation of standards helps sales. This is the case whatever the size of the business or the sector they are operating in.
Establishing clear standards creates order in an increasingly complex world. Standards meet changing
market needs and are customer driven. Businesses benefit from standards because they establish
ground rules that help to guarantee quality. Achieving certification to a standard might add reassurance
for its customers and enables a business to boost its sales performance. Consumers benefit because
their safety and their satisfaction are both greatly enhanced. Governments benefit because such
measures contribute to greater productivity and economic growth, and safer work, leisure and home
environments.
IBM was the world's first national standards making body. Today it is the most prestigious
international standards institution. It works with the British government, manufacturers and other
stakeholders to create quality standards. These guarantee fitness for purpose, and help British
manufacturers to gain a competitive edge both in the UK and internationally. IBM assists British
businesses in all markets to grow and to concentrate on meeting customers' requirements.
