• Fitness for use

– A definition of quality that evaluates how

well the product performs for its intended

use.

to evaluate quality,

– Quality control charts were used to

monitor the production process

QUALITY GURUS

• Walter A. Shewhart– studied randomness and recognized that

variability existed in all manufacturing processes.

– developed quality control charts that are used to identify whether the variability in the process is random or due to an assignable cause, such as poor workers or miscalibrated machinery.

– stressed that eliminating variability improves quality.

– referred to as the “grandfather of quality control.”

QUALITY GURUS

• W.Edwards Deming

– “father of quality control.”

– assisted many Japanese companies in

improving quality after WWII

– 15% of quality problems from worker error,

85% are caused by processes and

systems, including poor management

– outlined his philosophy on quality in his

famous “14 Points.”

QUALITY GURUS

• Armand V. Feigenbaum– introduced the concept of total quality

control. In his 1961 book, Total Quality Control

– he outlined his quality principles in 40 steps.

– promoted the idea of a work environment where quality developments are integrated throughout the entire organization,

– management and employees have a total commitment to improve quality

– people learn from each other’s successes.

– philosophy was adapted by the Japanese and termed “company-wide quality control.”

QUALITY GURUS

• Philip B. Crosby – developed the phrase “Do it right the first time”

and the notion of zero defects, arguing that no amount of defects should be considered acceptable.

– scorned the idea that a small number of defects is a normal part of the operating process because systems and workers are imperfect.

– wrote a book titled Quality Is Free in 1979.

– pointed out the many costs of quality, which include not only the costs of wasted labor, equipment time, scrap, rework, and lost sales, but also organizational costs that are hard to quantify.

QUALITY GURUS

• Kaoru Ishikawa – best known for the development of quality

tools called cause-and-effect diagrams (also called fishbone or Ishikawa diagrams) used for quality problem solving

– first quality guru to emphasize the importance of the “internal customer,” the next person in the production process.

– first to stress the importance of total company quality control, rather than just focusing on products and services.

QUALITY GURUS

• Kaoru Ishikawa

– believed that everyone in the company

needed to be united with a shared vision

and a common goal.

– stressed that quality initiatives should be

pursued at every level of the organization

and that all employees should be involved.

– a proponent of implementation of quality

circles, which are small teams of employees

that volunteer to solve quality problems.

QUALITY GURUS

• Genichi Taguchi – Japanese quality expert known for his work in the

area of product design.

– Estimates that as much as 80 percent of all defective items are caused by poor product design.

– Stresses that companies should focus their quality efforts on the design stage

– Applied a concept called design of experiment to product design: an engineering approach that is based on developing robust design, a design that results in products that can perform over a wide range of conditions.

Page 24: TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT - WordPress.com · •ISO 14000 STANDARDS –The need for standardization of quality created an impetus for the development of other standards. •Introduced

QUALITY GURUS

• Genichi Taguchi – Pointed out that the traditional view of costs of

conformance to specifications is incorrect

– Emphasizes conformance to specification specifies a target value for the product with specified tolerances, say 5.00 plus/minus 0.20.

– According to the traditional view of conformance to specifications, losses in terms of cost occur if the product dimensions fall outside of the specified limits.

– Proposed that as conformance values move away from the target, loss increases as a quadratic function called the Taguchi loss function

– According to the function, smaller differences from the target result in smaller costs: the larger the differences, the larger the cost.

WHY TQM EFFORTS FAIL

• The most important factor in the success or failure of TQM efforts is the genuineness of the organization’s commitment.

• Look at TQM as another business change that must be implemented due to market pressure without really changing the values of their organization.

• TQM is a complete philosophy that has to be embraced with true belief, not mere lip service.

WHY TQM EFFORTS FAIL

• Looking at TQM as a short-term financial

investment is a sure recipe for failure.

• View that the responsibility for quality and

elimination of waste lies with employees

other than top management.

• A third common mistake is over- or under-

reliance on statistical process control

(SPC) methods.

because of the great cost consequences of poor quality.

the parts and materials needed are of

sufficiently high quality, and negotiate a

purchase price that meets the company’s

budget as identified by finance.

and incentive systems.

CRITICAL PARTICIPANTS OF TQM

• INFORMATION SYSTEMS

– Highly important in TQM because of the

increased need for information accessible to

teams throughout the organization.

– Should work closely with a company’s TQM

development program in order to understand

exactly the type of information system best suited for the firm, including the form of the

data, the summary statistics available, and

the frequency of updating.
