The basic purpose of Improving Quality is to change the way we do things.
Emphasis is on prevention, not inspection
My message is that quality does not happen by accident – it must be planned in
The Value Management SIG presented Chris Samson and Daniel Rahamim from London Underground who offered an insight to the organisational approach of implementing Lean principles in one of London Underground's major upgrade programmes.
Want to ensure everything you do adds value to your business? Want to make a real difference to business performance and customer satisfaction?

CORPORATE presentation from DWM ConsultingGDPR SMEs
CORPORATE is an enterprise, business rule driven event processor. It has the capability to manage and coordinate all enterprise processes based on strategic and operational business rules. Its intended market is medium to large enterprises. We know of no other software that is commercially available that performs this function. We received positive feedback and a request for more information from Germany Trade & Invest.
CORPORATE is the brain that can control all or part of an enterprise or important, business critical processes within an enterprise. Processes can be 100% computerised, computer/mechanical (e.g. robotic) and human.
A system of Daily Management (based on the work of Luftig & Warren International) that enables management of the day-to-day operation of departments or cells at the lowest possible level by the process owner. It provides the means to improve performance on an ongoing basis and lock in the hard won gains.
Lean Thinking is a philosophy of Aligning People to Process to Purpose to Prosper. A Lean leader has to be a mentor, coach and guide for his team. The focus is to minimize daily fire fighting and graduating towards an organization focusing on continuous improvement and innovation.

Effective problem solving is not an innate skill that most people are born with.
Even for those few few lucky ones who are born with natural problem-solving talent, it is often drummed out of them by parents, teachers, and bosses. And those whose academic preparation would lead you to believe that they're highly skilled in this area (such as engineers and physicians) regularly fall prey to sloppy problem solving.
The good news is that effective problem solving is a skill that can be developed. Everyone can learn to solve problems effectively given the will and ample practice with a skilled coach/teacher.
This webinar focuses on the P (plan) phase of the PDSA/PDCA cycle (plan-do-study-adjust), which is the most difficult phase of scientific problem solving for people to master. Topics include:
• Setting a target condition
• Problem clarification
• Scoping and qualifying the problem
• Root cause analysis
Watch this lively discussion and learn the important first steps for closing the gap between where you are and where you'd like or need to be.
As preparation for the webinar, you may want to read the Discipline chapter in Karen's Shingo Award-winning book, The Outstanding Organization. www.ksmartin.com/TOO

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

excellence," or "level of goodness”.
• Quality is considered as "fitness for purpose."
• Quality is "conformance to the requirements“

• Customer Delight is achieved
• It saves the cost of implementation by reducing

• It is a joy, proud & tremendous job satisfaction
to deliver defect free solution
• Enhanced reputation & branding
Advantages
16. Making earth little softer
What makes client irritate?
• UI OR minor level defects detected within three
hours of the testing post delivery. These defects
turn out to be most critical in nature.
• Functional defect detected within eight hours
• Defect detection exceeding 1 defect per hour
What makes client delight?
• Timely delivery within budget
• Graphics as agreed during requirement analysis
• Solution functions as per agreed functionality
• Defects detected are really very few during first
day of testing
How does client react?
17. Making earth little softer
• Warranty work - that is performed on a product
or application for free under a warranty
• Repairs / maintenance - work that is done to fix
problems after the solution goes live
• Client dissatisfaction - If a solution is of poor
quality, the client may not continue future orders
• Help desk service may be required to address
problems client is facing with the solution
• Poor morale - No one likes to work for an
organization that has poor processes or
produces poor quality solutions. Costs here
include increased absenteeism, higher attrition,
less productivity and frustration from the staff.
Cost of poor quality
18. Making earth little softer
• Lower costs / shorter duration- an initial higher
cost to a quality process will result in less
rework & reduced project duration.
• Lower team morale due to higher defects in the
testing process. If the testing goes smoothly
with lesser defects & deliverables being right the
first time, team morale will rise accordingly.
• Fewer errors / defects. Higher quality shows up
over the life of the solution with fewer defects
and errors. If you are producing a product,
higher quality means fewer returns, less
warranty work, fewer repairs, etc.
Results to be achieved
19. Making earth little softer
It’s a cost
• Missing project completion deadline

35. Making earth little softer
• Quality Assurance is a not an enforcing
function, but includes all the standards, planning
and monitoring processes. It’s orientation
towards preventing the defects from occurring.
• Quality Control encourages for detection and
correction of defects
• Quality Assurance is proactive and preventative;
Quality Control is detective and corrective.
QA & QC
36. Making earth little softer
Quality Assurance
To encourage
• To do first time right, so that there are minimum
possible defects in the output / delivery
• To get output reviewed at every phase
• To do self code review
• To perform unit testing
• To do peer to peer code review
• To detect as much defects before delivery
• To reduce the defects detected by the client
• Thus saving cost of the client
37. Making earth little softer
Quality Assurance
• Define standards, processes, reports, forms &
templates & check lists; complete the check list
without fail for each step
• Appropriate defect tracking system to be used
• Measure the quality status and progress by way
of effective weekly/ periodic reports
• Manage the quality by prevention,
implementation and feedback
• Improve using experience & knowledge sharing

Quality means adhering to the commitments
e.g. requirements, efforts, schedule, resources & total cost to customer
Help desk - Maintaining a help desk service may be required, because the client has problems with the solution, or has questions understanding how to utilize the solution, which could be 24x7
Goals - Client delight & repeat business
Mission – Quality is intrinsic function of our business & non negotiable
These are the eight quality management principles. Now we will go through them one at a time. At the end we will have an assessment tool so that your organization can judge where your organization is using these principles. Your business can be design, manufacturing, or service, the principles are the same.
What is Quality - conformance to requirements’ - Crosby
‘fitness for use’ - Juran
‘the totality of characteristics of an entity that bear on its ability to satisfy stated and implied need’ - ISO 8402:1994
Customer-Based -&gt; Fitness for use, meeting customer expectations.
Manufacturing-Based -&gt; Conforming to design, specifications, or requirements. Having no defects.
Product-Based -&gt; The product has something that other similar products do not that adds value.
Value-Based -&gt; The product is the best combination of price and features. 5. Transcendent It is not clear what it is, but it is something good...
via:
Quality Planning, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control
Clearly Defined Quality Performance Standards
How those Quality and Performance Standards are measured and satisfied
How Testing and Quality Assurance Processes will ensure standards are satisfied
Continuous ongoing quality control
Quality Planning involves identifying which quality standards and/or metrics are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them.
Quality Planning is done on most project sometimes formally, and informally. Page 8.
Quality standards should address both product quality and process quality. Examples of both. adapting
Quality assurance - identifies the activities or tasks that must be performed in the project to provide confidence that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards. Examples, adapting
Quality Control - involves monitoring the products and process, to see if the project is meeting the quality standards - and identifying ways to eliminate causes of unsatisfactory results.
project cost exceeding $500.000 a 3rd party is expected to perform the Quality Management Activities.
Work with the 3rd Party, project management team, Department of Administrative Services QA Analyst to create the Quality Management Plan, determine the appropriate quality assurance activities and activity estimates, and conduct the quality control.
The spirit is to go beyond mere satisfaction, and
search, identify and do different things to achieve customer delight –
that add value beyond the original expectation.

Leading organizations have successfully attained return on investment (ROI) for process improvement initiatives by adopting the Software Engineering Institute’s Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI®). Of the 878 organizations assessed by the SEI in 2005, two-thirds reported a clear increase in productivity, and half of them reported an increase in quality. When asked to measure ROI, the mean value reported was nearly 5 to 1, with some organizations reporting an ROI of up to 27–to-1.
The major difference between software engineering and other engineering artifacts is that software is pure design.
Its unreliability is always the result of design faults, which in turn arise from human intellectual failures.
Difficult to gain assurance of reliability especially for critical systems.
Developing software is an inherently risky proposition; safety-critical software even more so.
Balancing budget and schedule constraints while ensuring the efficiency, effectiveness, integrity, security, privacy, safety, and quality of the software.
The software development process is a complex undertaking consisting of specifying, designing, implementing, and testing.
