The document provides an overview of quality management, including its definition, evolution, and various tools and techniques. It discusses that quality management aims to meet customer expectations and ensure customer satisfaction. The document then outlines several quality management approaches that have evolved over time, such as inspection, statistical process control, design of experiments, Taguchi's robust design method, ISO standards, Six Sigma, and Kaizen. It also provides a case study of Toyota's quality management system and its implementation of Lean and continuous improvement practices.

The ISO defines “An inspection is an activity such as measuring,examining,testing one or more
characteristics of a product or service and comparing the results with specified requirements of
the consumer or not”.
Inspection(1930)

Pre-production inspection
During production inspection
Final random inspection

Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is an industry standard methodology for measuring and controlling
quality during the manufacturing process. Attribute data(measurements) is collected from products
as they are being produced.

Design of Experiments (DOE-1940)
Design of experiments (DOE) is a systematic method to determine the relationship between factors
affecting a process and the output of that process. In other words, it is used to find cause-and-effect
relationships. This information is needed to manage process inputs in order to optimize the output.

Taguchi Robust Design(1975)
•Robust Product design as a concept, developed by Dr. Genichi taguchi
•It is defined as reducing variation in various product characteristics.
•In other words, making the product or process insensitive to variation
This variation(some time called noise) can come form a varity of factors.
Dr. Genichi Taguchi
the design of a new product any design activity can be called as robust. If it leads the product
To have longer life
To be more consistent with use
To perform consistently as temperature and other conditions change.

Quality Management System (1985)
Total Quality Management (TQM)
ISO 9000
The ISO 9000 family of quality management system standatds is designed to help
organisations ensure that they meet the needs of customer and other stakeholder while
meeting statutory and regulatiry requirement related to a product or service.
ISO 14000
The ISO 14000 is a family of standards related to environment management that exist to help
organisations:
(a)minimise how their operations negatively affect the environment.
(b)comply with applicable laws,regulations and other evironmently oriented requirements.
(c)continually improving in the above
KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISO 9000 AND ISO 14000
ISO 9000
It provides series of standards
relating to quality assurance
requirements and quality
management guidance.

Six sigma
Meaning of Six Sigma
Six sigma is a management technique developed by motorola in 1986
It is purely a scientific method used for process improvement and this method is known as DMAIC.
Main focus is on quality improvement and reduction of waste + defects, it targets to bring down
the error rate to 3.4 errors per milion opportunities(PMO)
Resulting in better,faster,cost effective product and services
Types of Quality
Quality traditionally is conformance to internal requirements,which is expressed as
Quality
Potential Quality Actual Quality
(It is a maximum possible value
added per unit of input)
(Current value added per
unit of input)
Potential Quality – Actual Quality= Waste
( PQ) (AQ)
This is where Quality Management apply different tools and techniques to raise AQ to PQ

What is Six Sigma ?
Six sigma is a rigorous,focused, highly effective implementation of proven principles and techniques
which aims at virtually error free business performance target to 3.4 DPMO
This is done using DMAIC Process improvement model
What is sigma?
Sigma is a greek alphabet measure the variability of any process using sigma level.
SIGMA LEVEL DEFECT RATE YIELD
2 Sigma 308,770 DPMO 69.10000%
3 Sigma 66,811 DPMO 93.33000%

The main focus of six sigma is to reduce defects and variations in the processes.DMAIC (Execution) and
DMADV (design process) are the models used in most six sigma initiatives. DMADV is the model for
designing processes while DMAIC is used for improving the process.
Execution of this methodology
DMADV
Define:Determine the project goals and the requirement of customer.
Measure:Assess customer needs and satisfaction.
Analyse:Examine process options to meet customer requirements.
Design:Develop the process to meet customer requirement.
Verify: Check the design to ensure that it”s meeting customer needs.

DMAIC
Define:Defining the goals of improvement activities.
Measure:Measure the existing system.
Analyse:analyse the system and analyse the ways to eliminate the gap between the current
system and desired system.
Improve:Improve system accordingly.
Control: establish standards and controls to sustain improvements in the long run.

Kaizen Theory:
Kaizen is a japanese term that meams continuous improvement,taken from the word “kai” which
means continuous and “Zen” which means Improvement.Some translate “kai” to mean chage
and “Zen” to mean good.or for better. Kaizen is one of the most commonly used words in japan.
Masaaki Imai is known as the developer of kaizen.
KAI+ZEN=CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
“KAI”-Good
“ZEN”-Change
KAIZEN-Good Change or Continual Improvement
Kaizen means making changes for better on a continual, never-ending basis..
It aims to eliminate waste (defined as “activities that add cost but do not value”)
An appproach for improvement of quality and productivity
Improvement from daily management and operation
Starts with small improvement
Humanized approach to workers
-Motivates employees, creating sense of belonging and sense of fulfillment.
-Eliminates hard work
