Crosby articulated his view of quality in:
1. Quality means conformance to requirements.
2. Quality comes from prevention, which is a result of training,
discipline, example, leadership and more.
3. Quality performance standard is zero defects. Errors should not
be tolerated.
4. Quality measurement is the price of non-conformance.
Four Absolutes of Quality Management

“As with many other
things, there is a
surprising amount of
prejudice against
quality control, but the
proof of the pudding is
still in the eating.”
Kaoru Ishikawa

Class Activity
Meeting Customer’s Deadline

Learning Points from ‘Meeting Customer’s
Deadline’ Activity
1. The variability in the product delivery process by various parts of
the value chain represents the uncertainty faced by the end-
customer and different players in the value chain. What could the
company do to ensure a more timely and consistent delivery
process?
2. Apart from timely product delivery, what other requirements might
be demanded by the customers?
3. In the context of the work situation, identify who your suppliers
and customers are. What might be some of their requirements?

A Typical Organisation
Structured Vertically
Production Engineering Quality
General
Manager
Employees perform by divisions, leading to poor internal partnership.
Traditional View of Organization (Silo Effect)

Employees perform as a Linked Process, supporting the initiative
of Internal Partnership-Building.
The New View: Team Approach

“Alignment is the necessary
condition before empowering
individuals will empower the
whole team. Empowering the
individual when there is
relatively low level of
alignment worsens the chaos
and makes managing the team
more difficult.”
Peter Senge
The Fifth Discipline

Empowerment & Tools
• People empowerment comes from the ability of
employees to make a difference in the process they
manage
• People need tools to analyze, organize, understand and
use large amounts of data to make important decisions
that impact the bottom line

Quality Circle / Kaizen Team
• A group of workers who do
similar work and who meet:
Voluntarily
Regularly
In normal working time
Under the leadership of their
supervisor
To identify, analyze and solve
“work-related” problems
To recommend solutions to
management

Speaking with data is a
prerequisite

Definition of Key Process Elements
(continued)
• Customer: the internal and/or external recipient of our
product/service
• Output requirements: agreements negotiated with the
customers that define in measurable terms the product
or service that the customer needs
• Output: the product or service provided to satisfy the
output requirements
• Process: consisting of work activity or sequence of
tasks that adds value

Process Definition & Documentation
• Identify key process elements
• Document the process
Narrative documentation
Flowcharting
Process mapping
Value stream mapping
Process modeling tools

Process Improvement Roadmap
1. Define Customer Requirements
2. Establish Current Standards
3. State Improvement Goals
4. Analyze Current Process
5. Select Areas to Improve
6. Implement Improvement Actions
7. Evaluate the Results
8. Incorporate New Process

Process Control
• Control relates to conformance with requirements
• A problem exists when the process deviates from its
norms in terms of process parameters
• In such an event, a problem solving methodology is
employed to bring the process back into control

Why Measure COQ?
• Gain senior management commitment - $$$
• A scorecard with a common unit of measurement ($, or
as % of sales)
• An effective tool to measure and prioritize improvement
efforts
• Allocate resources for quality improvement
• Help set and monitor departmental quality improvement
targets
• Determine effectiveness of the quality plan

The 1-10-100 Rule

One dollar spent on prevention will save 10 dollars
on correction and 100 dollars on failure costs.

Cost of Non-Conformance (CONC)
• The costs incurred as a result of not doing things
right the first time
• Examples
Mistakes
Scrap
Rework
Equipment Downtime
Handling customer complaints
Warranty claims
Customer return analysis

Fundamentals of Quality
• The customer comes first
• Quality happens through people
• All work is part of a process
• Prevention is achieved through
planning
• Quality improvement never ends

Internalizing Quality in Our Work
• All work is part of a process
• Set standards based on
Customer Requirements
• Count defects and measure
cycle time against those
standards
• Keep it simple
These are the keys to making the
quality principles work for people

Key Forms of Waste
• Not doing things right the first time
• Doing things that are unnecessary
• Doing necessary things with
unnecessary steps
Both for Organizations and Individuals

Purely Personal Standards
• Quality principles can help us in our
personal as well as professional
lives
• Setting standards is essential; e.g.
responsiveness
• The presence of these items on a
list has a substantial and favorable
effect on actual behavior
Follow Benjamin Franklin who had a list of
virtues!

Personal Values Statement
• I commit to these values to guide my decisions and
behavior:
Respect for others: treat all other people with respect and
dignity at all times
Integrity: honesty in all of my dealings with others and with
myself
Commitment: applications of my energies and capabilities to the
people and organizations to whom I have an obligation
Excellence: always endeavor to be the best that I can be

Generic Model for Implementing TQM
• Top management learns about and decides to commit to
TQM. TQM is identified as one of the organization’s
strategies.
• The organization assesses current culture, customer
satisfaction, and quality management systems.
• Top management identifies core values and principles to
be used, and communicates them.
• A TQM master plan is developed on the basis of steps 1,
2, and 3 (above).

Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

defining the customer's desires in
the customer's own words,
prioritizing these desires,
translating them into engineering
requirements, and establishing
targets for meeting requirements
• Tool for defining the “right”
problem to solve
• Uses a series of matrices to
structure information acquisition
and documentation

Key Learning Points
• Total quality also implies that the organization has a
social responsibility in the community it operates in.
• Total quality culture can be viewed from three levels
namely, artifacts, values and belief, and underlying
assumptions. A culture of total quality has to be modeled
by the leadership.
• Strategy precedes organization.
• The application of tools and techniques facilitates the
systematic approach in implementing total quality.
