Armand V. Feigenbaum was an American quality control expert and businessman who is considered the father of total quality management. He devised the concept of total quality control, which emphasized that quality should be managed throughout an entire organization and involved both suppliers and customers. Feigenbaum identified that costs associated with poor quality, such as rework and customer complaints, could be reduced through greater investments in prevention efforts. He is credited with establishing quality costs as a means to quantify the costs of quality-related activities and deficiencies within an organization. Feigenbaum received numerous honors for his pioneering contributions to the field of quality management.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

4. Contribution to Quality
Management
Total Quality Control, first published in 1951 under the title Quality
Control: Principles, Practice, and Administration contained
Feigenbaum's ideas
His contributions to the quality body of knowledge include:
1. Total quality control is an effective system for integrating the quality
development, quality maintenance, and quality improvement
efforts of the various groups in an organization so as to enable
production and service at the most economical levels which allow
full customer satisfaction.
2. The concept of a "hidden" plant—the idea that so much extra work
is performed in correcting mistakes that there is effectively a hidden
plant within any factory.
3. Accountability for quality: Because quality is everybody's job, it may
become nobody's job—the idea that quality must be actively
managed and have visibility at the highest levels of management.
5. Quality Cost
The concept of quality costs - In process
improvement efforts, quality costs or cost of
quality is a means to quantify the total cost of
quality-related efforts and deficiencies. It was first
described by Armand V. Feigenbaum in a 1956
Harvard Business Review article
Cost Area Description Examples
Costs of control (Costs
of conformance)
Prevention costs Arise from efforts to
keep defects from
occurring at all
• Quality planning
• Statistical process
control
• Investment in
quality-related
information systems
• Quality training and
workforce
development
• Product-design
verification
• Systems
development and
management
6. Quality Cost
Cost Area Description Examples
Costs of control
(Costs of
conformance)
Appraisal costs Arise from detecting
defects via
inspection, test,
audit
• Test and
inspection of
purchased
materials
• Acceptance
testing
• Inspection
• Testing
• Checking labor
• Setup for test or
inspection
• Test and
inspection
equipment
• Quality audits
• Field testing
Costs of failure of
control (Costs of
non-conformance)
Internal failure costs Arise from defects
caught internally
and dealt with by
discarding or
repairing the
defective items
• Scrap
• Rework
• Material
procurement
costs
External failure costs Arise from defects
that actually reach
customers
• Complaints in
warranty
• Complaints out of
warranty
• Product service
• Product liability
• Product recall
• Loss of reputation
7. Central theme of quality
improvement
Larger investments in prevention drive even larger
savings in quality-related failures and appraisal
efforts
Feigenbaum's categorization allows the
organization to verify this for itself
When confronted with mounting numbers of
defects, organizations typically react by throwing
more and more people into inspection roles
But inspection is never completely effective, so
appraisal costs stay high as long as the failure costs
stay high
The only way out of the predicament is to establish
the "right" amount of prevention
8. Elements of total quality to enable a
totally customer focus (internal and
external)
Quality is the customers perception of what quality is, not what a
company thinks it is
Quality and cost are the same not different
Quality is an individual and team commitment
Quality and innovation are interrelated and mutually beneficial
Managing Quality is managing the business
Quality is a principal
Quality is not a temporary or quick fix but a continuous process of
improvement
Productivity gained by cost effective demonstrably beneficial
Quality investment
Implement Quality by encompassing suppliers and customers in
the system
