Quality - Crosby
Quality, Crosby emphasized, is neither intangible
nor immeasurable. It is a strategic imperative
that can be quantified and put back to work to
improve the bottom line.
Crosby's approach to quality is unambiguous. In
his view, good, bad, high and low quality are
meaningless concepts
Philip Crosby
 The founder and chairman of the board of Career IV, an
executive management consulting firm. Crosby also
founded Philip Crosby Associates Inc. and the Quality
College. He has authored many books, including Quality
is free, Quality without tears, Let’s talk Quality and
Leading: The art of becoming an executive. Crosby
originated the concept of zero defects.
Crosby is BEST known for:
Quality is Free
His first book which made him famous.
Zero Defects
One of his four absolutes of quality.
Crosby's approach to quality is unambiguous. In
his view, good, bad, high and low quality are
meaningless concepts
Four Absolutes of Quality
The First Absolute
The definition of quality is conformance to
requirements (not as goodness).
Non-conforming products are ones that
management has failed to specify or
control. The cost of non-conformance
equals the cost of not doing it right first
time, and not rooting out any defects in
processes.
The Second Absolute
The system of quality is prevention
(not appraisal).
The Third Absolute
The performance standard is zero defects (not
“that’s close enough”).
Zero defects does not mean that people never
make mistakes, but that companies should not
begin with allowances or sub-standard targets
with mistakes as an in-built expectation. Instead,
work should be seen as a series of activities or
processes, defined by clear requirements,
carried out to produce identified outcomes.
The Fourth Absolute
The measurement of quality is the
price of nonconformance
(not indexes).

Defects.

cheaper than trying to fix defects after

Editor's Notes

  1. The 14 steps Management commitment: The need for quality improvement must be recognised and adopted by management, with an emphasis on the need for defect prevention. Quality improvement is equated with profit improvement. A quality policy is needed which states that '… each individual is expected to perform exactly like the requirement or cause the requirement to be officially changed to what we and the customer really need.' Quality improvement team: Representatives from each department or function should be brought together to form a quality improvement team. These should be people who have sufficient authority to commit the area they represent to action. Quality measurement: The status of quality should be determined throughout the company. This means establishing quality measures for each area of activity that are recorded to show where improvement is possible, and where corrective action is necessary. Crosby advocates delegation of this task to the people who actually do the job, so setting the stage for defect prevention on the job, where it really counts. Cost of quality evaluation: The cost of quality is not an absolute performance measurement, but an indication of where the action necessary to correct a defect will result in greater profitability. Quality awareness: This involves, through training and the provision of visible evidence of the concern for quality improvement, making employees aware of the cost to the company of defects. Crosby stresses that this sharing process is a - or even the - key step in his view of quality. Corrective action: Discussion about problems will bring solutions to light and also raise other elements for improvement. People need to see that problems are being resolved on a regular basis. Corrective action should then become a habit. Establish an ad-hoc committee for the Zero Defects Programme: Zero Defects is not a motivation programme - its purpose is to communicate and instil the notion that everyone should do things right first time. Supervisor training: All managers should undergo formal training on the 14 steps before they are implemented. A manager should understand each of the 14 steps well enough to be able to explain them to his or her people. Zero Defects Day: It is important that the commitment to Zero Defects as the performance standard of the company makes an impact, and that everyone gets the same message in the same way. Zero Defects Day, when supervisors explain the programme to their people, should make a lasting impression as a 'new attitude' day. Goal setting: Each supervisor gets his or her people to establish specific, measurable goals to strive for. Usually, these comprise 30-, 60-, and 90-day goals. Error cause removal: Employees are asked to describe, on a simple, one-page form, any problems that prevent them from carrying out error-free work. Problems should be acknowledged within twenty-four hours by the function or unit to which the problem is addressed. This constitutes a key step in building up trust, as people will begin to grow more confident that their problems will be addressed and dealt with. Recognition: It is important to recognise those who meet their goals or perform outstanding acts with a prize or award, although this should not be in financial form. The act of recognition is what is important. Quality Councils: The quality professionals and team-leaders should meet regularly to discuss improvements and upgrades to the quality programme. Do it over again: During the course of a typical programme, lasting from 12 to18 months, turnover and change will dissipate much of the educational process.It is important to set up a new team of representatives and begin the programme over again, starting with Zero Defects day. This 'starting over again' helps quality to become ingrained in the organisation.
  2. The need for quality improvement must be recognized and adopted by management, with an emphasis on the need for defect prevention. Quality improvement is equated with profit improvement. A quality policy is needed which states that '… each individual is expected to perform exactly like the requirement or cause the requirement to be officially changed to what we and the customer really need.'
  3. Representatives from each department or function should be brought together to form a quality improvement team. These should be people who have sufficient authority to commit the area they represent to action.
  4. The status of quality should be determined throughout the company. This means establishing quality measures for each area of activity that are recorded to show where improvement is possible, and where corrective action is necessary. Crosby advocates delegation of this task to the people who actually do the job, so setting the stage for defect prevention on the job, where it really counts.
  5. The cost of quality is not an absolute performance measurement, but an indication of where the action necessary to correct a defect will result in greater profitability.
  6. This involves, through training and the provision of visible evidence of the concern for quality improvement, making employees aware of the cost to the company of defects. Crosby stresses that this sharing process is a - or even the - key step in his view of quality.
  7. Discussion about problems will bring solutions to light and also raise other elements for improvement. People need to see that problems are being resolved on a regular basis. Corrective action should then become a habit.
  8. Zero Defects is not a motivation programme - its purpose is to communicate and instil the notion that everyone should do things right first time.
  9. All managers should undergo formal training on the 14 steps before they are implemented. A manager should understand each of the 14 steps well enough to be able to explain them to his or her people.
  10. It is important that the commitment to Zero Defects as the performance standard of the company makes an impact, and that everyone gets the same message in the same way. Zero Defects Day, when supervisors explain the programme to their people, should make a lasting impression as a 'new attitude' day.
  11. Each supervisor gets his or her people to establish specific, measurable goals to strive for. Usually, these comprise 30-, 60-, and 90-day goals.
