What is Quality?
Quality is the ability of a product or service to consistently meet or exceed customer expectations.
Quality control is monitoring, testing, and correcting quality problems after they occur.
Quality assurance ensuring a products quality will be good by preventing defects before they occur.

Quality - Ch10.pptx
1. Create constancy of purpose toward improvement.
2. Management must adopt the TQM philosophy.
3. Cease dependence on inspection.
4. Award based on quality and price.
5. Find problems, Improve constantly and forever
6. Institute training.
7. Institute leadership to act on quality issues.
Deming’s 14 Steps to Quality

1."Create constancy of purpose towards improvement". Replace short-term reaction with long-term planning.
2.Adopt the new philosophy. Management must learn its responsibilities, and take on leadership for change.
The implication is that management should actually adopt his philosophy, rather than merely expect the workforce to do so.
3.Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Build quality into the product from the start.
4.Minimize total cost. Stop making decisions based on cost alone. Award business based on quality and price.
5. Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service. Constantly strive to reduce variation
6.Institute training on the job. If people are inadequately trained, they will not all work the same way, and this will introduce variation. 7."Institute leadership". Deming makes a distinction between leadership and mere supervision. The latter is quota- and target-based.
Quality - Ch10.pptx
8. Drive out fear.
9. Work as a team. Break down barriers.
10. Eliminate exhortations and fix the system.
11. Eliminate work quota standards and MBO.
12. Remove barriers to pride of workmanship.
13. Institute education and self-improvement.
14. The transformation is everybody’s job.
Deming’s 14 Steps to Quality

8."Drive out fear". Deming sees management by fear as counter- productive in the long term, because it prevents workers from acting in the organization's best interests. 9."Break down barriers between departments". Another idea central to TQM is the concept of the 'internal customer', that each department serves not the management, but the other departments that use its outputs. People must work as a team, to foresee problems of production and in use of the product.
10."Eliminate slogans". Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the workforce asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. The bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system not the workforce. Another central TQM idea is that it's not people who make most mistakes - it's the process they are working within. Harassing the workforce without improving the processes they use is counter-productive. 11."Eliminate work standards and management by objectives". Substitute leadership.
Deming saw production targets as encouraging the delivery of poor-quality goods. 12."Remove barriers to pride of workmanship". Many of the other problems outlined reduce worker satisfaction. 13."Institute education and self-improvement". 14."The transformation is everyone's job". TAKE ACTION

Hidden Costs of Quality
17
© 2021 McGraw-Hill Education Limited.
Hidden Costs of Quality. When managers think about the costs of quality, those categories that typically come to mind are the most visible ones, such as the costs associated with buying high quality materials, investing in employee training, and paying for inspections. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. When managers attempt to cut costs by choosing lower quality materials, reducing employee training, or reducing inspections, the hidden costs of poor quality become larger

Methods for Problem Solving and Continuous Improvement
Brainstorming: Technique for generating a free flow of ideas in a group of people
Affinity Diagram: Shows the relationships among large numbers of ideas
Quality Circles: Groups of workers who meet to discuss ways of improving products or processes
Interviewing: Technique for identifying problems and collecting information
Benchmarking: Process of measuring performance against the best in the same or another industry
The 5W2H Approach: A method of asking questions about a process/problem that include what, why, where, who, how, and how much
5 Whys: Systematically drilling down to a real root cause of a problem by asking “Why?” five times

Reaching Consensus
29

1. List reduction is applied to a list of possible solutions. Its purpose is to clarify items and, in the process, reduce the list of items by posing questions about affordability, feasibility, and likelihood of solving the problem (or improving the quality).
2. A balance sheet approach lists the pros and cons of each item and focuses discussion on important issues.
3. Paired comparisons is a process by which each item on a list is compared with every other item, two at a time. For each pair, team members select the preferred item. This approach forces a choice between items. It works best when the list of items is small: say, five or fewer.

Six Sigma

Six Sigma is a more sophisticated statistical approach to problem solving and quality improvement. It is a business process for improving quality, reducing costs, and increasing customer satisfaction. Six Sigma has five steps: define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC).
Statistically
Having no more than 3.4 defects per million

Quality Certification
ISO 9001
Set of international standards for a quality management and quality assurance system, critical to international business.
Standards Council of Canada
> 100 countries and 180 technical committees
Documentation and assessment process takes 12 – 18 months for certification
Re-register every 3 years
37
© 2021 McGraw-Hill Education Limited.
Two of the most well-known certifications are ISO 9000 and ISO 14000, which relate to an organization’s processes rather than its products and services
37
ISO 14000
38
ISO 14000 is a family of standards related to environmental management.
© 2021 McGraw-Hill Education Limited.
Management systems – System development and integration of environmental responsibilities into business planning.
Operations – Consumption of natural resources and energy.
Environmental systems – Measuring, assessing, and managing emissions, effluents, and other waste streams.
The ISO 14001 standard8 is very similar to the ISO 9001 standard (it has the same 10 requirements), but instead of quality it relates to environment.

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)
A quality control system, similar to ISO 9001, designed for food processors.
Deals with food safety (biological, chemical, and physical hazards)
Main steps:
Hazard Analysis
Determination of the Critical Control Points
Creation of the HACCP Plan

Quality has evolved to quality assurance and prevention of defects, and finally to total quality management.
Dimensions of quality of goods are performance, aesthetics, reliability, and durability.
Dimensions of service quality include convenience, responsiveness, timeliness, assurance, courtesy/empathy.
Quality is determined during product design, process design, production, and use.
Costs of quality include external and internal failure costs.
Measurable characteristics of a product are specified by the lower spec limit and upper spec limit. In Taguchi quality loss function, dissatisfaction increases faster the larger the deviation is from the target value.
