LEARNING INTENTIONS/SUCCESS CRITERIA
LEARNING INTENTIONS:
I understand the different ways that organisations cantry to ensure that they havea QUALITY PRODUCT or QUALITY SERVICE.
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
• I can explain what is meant by the term quality.
• I can explain the reasons why organisations should focus on ensuring quality.
• I can explain how QUALITY RESOURCES and QUALITY SYSTEMS can contribute to product quality.

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?
The process issue of PRODUCT QUALITY deals with making sure that the products produced DO WHATCONSUMERS EXPECT and are RELIABLE (relative to thePRICE they are sold for).
Quality is an IMPORTANT ISSUE for businesses because if finished products do not meet the expectations ofCONSUMERS then they will STOP USING A BUSINESS.The business could also face COURT ACTION and FINESif they have broken any laws.

QUALITY CHECKS
When products are made, they should be checked
at regular intervals for defects and to ensure they
are meeting the relevant standards/legislation.
Let’s watch an example of how this is done:

METHODS OF ENSURING QUALITY
There are actions which a business can taketo ensure they are producing good qualityand these are:USING HIGH QUALITY STOCK Businesses will want to use suitably high quality STOCKS for production because if they are not then finished goods will not be of a high enough standard. This is because “rubbish in will equal rubbish out”.
![Page 8: MANAGEMENT OF OPERATIONS MAINTAINING QUALITY. LEARNING INTENTIONS/SUCCESS CRITERIA LEARNING INTENTIONS: I understand the different ways that organisations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072008/56649d8a5503460f94a7095d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
METHODS OF ENSURING QUALITY
USING HIGH QUALITY RESOURCESBusinesses must make sure that the FACTORSOF PRODUCTION that they use will be of a high enough standard to produce the finished product to a suitable standard. This can be achieved by• RECRUITING good quality staff with the right skills and
experience• Providing adequate TRAINING for staff• Repairing and MAINTAINING capital equipment and replacing it when necessary.

METHODS OF ENSURING QUALITY
QUALITY CONTROLQuality control is about checking at the END OF PRODUCTION thatproducts are of a high enough quality. Any poor quality products that are found are scrapped or sent back to be fixed.
QUALITY CONTROL HELPS IMPROVE QUALITY FOR THEFOLLOWING REASONS:• Poor quality products can be found and so are prevented from leaving the
business and causing problems.
HOWEVER, QUALITY CONTROL DOES HAVE THE FOLLOWINGDRAWBACKS:• Staff are only trying to find problems and not prevent them, so mistakes can
still happen and create problems• The system is expensive because there will be high levels of wastage.

METHODS OF ENSURING QUALITY
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality assurance is about setting expected quality
standards, making them clear to staff before they
start work and then checking that products meet
these standards at EACH STAGE OF
PRODUCTION. Any mistakes found at each stage
of production will be fixed before the product
moves on.

METHODS OF ENSURING QUALITY
QUALITY ASSURANCE MANAGEMENTBENEFITS:• Staff are trying to actively work to high quality standards
and so mistakes are less likely to happen• Staff are encouraged to work for each other and so
teamwork is improved• The system can cut costs because it aims to prevent
problems and minimise repair costs as errors can be fixed cheaply as they are found early
• Poor quality products are highly unlikely to leave the business and cause problems because of the standards set and the many checks that are done

METHODS OF ENSURING QUALITY
QUALITY ASSURANCE MANAGEMENTDRAWBACKS:• It is very expensive to set up the system
due to training staff to meet standards and the machinery and time needed for all the quality checks
• Quality policies and procedures must be written and strictly adhered to, which involves a lot of paperwork and time.

METHODS OF ENSURING QUALITY
TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT:This involves the TOTAL COMMITMENT of all staff.This system aims for ZERO DEFECTS and CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT in quality.
![Page 14: MANAGEMENT OF OPERATIONS MAINTAINING QUALITY. LEARNING INTENTIONS/SUCCESS CRITERIA LEARNING INTENTIONS: I understand the different ways that organisations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022072008/56649d8a5503460f94a7095d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
METHODS OF ENSURING QUALITY
QUALITY CIRCLESThis involves groups of employees coming together with management at regularintervals in order to discuss issues of quality. They may come up with suggestions on improving quality, which, if successful, will give them jobsatisfaction and motivation in their jobs.
This goes hand-in-hand with TQM as continuousimprovement is being encouraged.
