We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. Definitions of Quality
Quality means different to different people:
1. Customer-Based: Fitness for use, meeting customer expectations.
2. Manufacturing-Based: Conforming to design, specifications, or requirements. Having no
defects.
3. Product-Based: The product has something that other similar products do not that adds
value.
4. Value-Based: The product is the best combination of price and features.
5. Transcendent: It is not clear what it is, but it is something good...
5. Quality - Definitions
• Quality is excellence that is better than a minimum
standard.
• It is conformance to standards and ‘fitness of
purpose’
• ISO 9000:2000 definition of quality- It is the
degree to which a set of inherent characteristics
fulfills requirements.
• Quality is ‘ fitness for use ‘ of the product –Joseph
Juran.
6. Quality and customer expectations
• Quality is also defined as excellence in the product or
service that fulfills or exceeds the expectations of the
customer.
• There are 9 dimensions of quality that may be found
in products that produce customer-satisfaction.
• Though quality is an abstract perception, it has a
quantitative measure-
• 𝑸 =
𝑷
𝑬
• where Q = quality, P = Performance(as measured by
the Manufacturer), and E = Expectations( of the
customer).
7. • Quality is not fine-tuning your product at the final
stage of manufacturing,before packaging and shipping
.
• Quality is in-built into the product at every stage
from conceiving –specification & design stages to
prototyping –testing and manufacturing stages.
• TQM philosophy and guiding principles continuously
improve the Organisation processes and result in
customer satisfaction.
8. Needs for Quality
• Customer satisfaction and happiness
• Goodwill (image of the organisation) and high productivity
• Capturing the market
• Minimising the cost as well as losses
• Maximising the profit
• Recognising the role of everyone in the organisation
• Fixing a common goal for the entire organisation
• Emphasising teamwork among the staff
• Establishing performance measures for the employees
• Betterment of employees
• Increased viability.
9. Need / Importance for quality
• Producing superior quality products / service is vital to the continued
growth success of a company, therefore benefits of quality are given
below.
• 1. It gives a positive company image
• 2. It improves competitive ability both nationally and internationally
3. It increases market share, which translates into improved profits
• 4. Overall it reduces costs which also results in profits
• 5. It reduces problems & avoids unnecessary costs
• 6. It creates an atmosphere for high employee morale, which
improves productivity .
12. The Dimensions of Quality
Dimension Meaning and Example
Performance
Primary product characteristics, such as the brightness of the
picture
Features Secondary characteristics, added features, such as remote
control
Conformance Meeting specifications or industry standards, workmanship
Reliability Consistency of performance over time, average time for the
unit to fail
Durability Useful life, includes repair
Service Resolution of problems and complaints, ease of repair
Response Human-to-human interface, such as the courtesy of the dealer
Aesthetics Sensory characteristics, such as exterior finish
Reputation Past performance and other intangibles, such as being ranked
first
13. Service Quality
• Service can be defined as ‘any primary
or complimentary activity that does not
directly produce a physical product –
that is, the non-goods part of the
transaction between buyer (customer)
and seller (provider).
• Intangibility: inability to assess the
value gained from engaging in an
activity using any tangible evidence
• Perish-ability: capacity cannot be
stored for sale in the future.
• Inseparability: renders it impossible to
divorce the supply or production of the
service from its consumption.
• Variability: Differences in service in
terms of time and person.
Five key dimensions of service quality contribute to customer
perceptions:
Reliability: The ability to provide what was promised,
dependably and accurately. Ex: providing
error free invoices, making repairs correctly first time.
Assurance: The knowledge and courtesy of employees, and
their ability to convey trust and
confidence. Ex: ability to answer questions, having capability to
do the necessary work, avoiding
possible fraud with the system of operations.
Tangibles: The physical facilities of the equipment, and the
appearance of personnel. Attractive
front office, well dressed employees, well designed forms etc.
Empathy: The degree of caring and individual attention
provided by the customers. Ex:
willingness to schedule deliveries at the customer’s convenience,
explaining technical jargon in a
layman’s language.
Responsiveness: The willingness to help customers and
provide prompt service. Ex: acting
quickly to resolve problems, promptly crediting returned
materials.

15. TQM Six Basic Concepts
1. A committed and involved management to provide long-term top-to-bottom organizational
support.
• Management must participate in the quality program. A quality council must be established to develop a clear vision, set long-term goals,
and direct the program. Quality goals are included in the business plan. An annual quality improvement program is established and involves
input from the entire work force. Managers participate on quality improvement teams and also act as coaches to other teams. TQM is a
continual activity that must be entrenched in the culture—it is not just a one-shot program. TQM must be communicated to all people.
2. An unwavering focus on the customer, both internally and externally.
• An excellent place to start is by satisfying internal customers. We must listen to the “voice of the customer” and emphasize design
quality and defect prevention. Do it right the first time and every time, for customer satisfaction is the most important consideration.
3. Effective involvement and utilization of the entire work force.
• TQM is an organization-wide challenge that is everyone’s responsibility. All personnel must be trained in TQM, statistical process control
(SPC), and other quality improvement skills. Changing behavior is the goal. People must come to work not only to do their jobs but also how
to improve their jobs. People must be empowered at the lowest possible level to perform processes in an optimum manner.
4. Continuous improvement of the business and production process.
• Quality improvement projects, such as on-time delivery, order entry efficiency, billing error rate, customer satisfaction, cycle time, scrap
reduction, and supplier management, are good places to begin. Technical techniques such as SPC, benchmarking, quality function
deployment, ISO 9000, and designed experiments are excellent for problem solving.
5. Treating suppliers as partners.
• A partnering relationship rather than an adversarial one must be developed. Both parties have as much to gain or lose based on the success
or failure of the product or service. The focus should be on quality and life-cycle costs rather than price. Suppliers should be few in number
so that true partnering can occur.
6. Establish performance measures for the processes.
• Performance measures such as uptime, percent nonconforming, absenteeism, and customer satisfaction should be determined for each
functional area. These measures should be posted for everyone to see. Quantitative data are necessary to measure the continuous quality
improvement activity.
16. Total Quality Management (TQM)
There are five ways of looking at quality definitions
I. Transcendent Definition:
"Quality is neither mind nor matter, but a third entity independent of the two…even through
Quality cannot be defined, you know what it is."
II. Product-Based Definition:
"Quality refers to the amounts of the unpriced attributes contained in each unit of the priced
attribute."
III. User-Based Definition:
"Quality is fitness for use." (J.M. Juran, ed., Quality Control Handbook, p2).
IV. Manufacturing-Based Definition:
"Quality [means] conformance to requirements." "Quality is the degree to which a specific
product conforms to a design or specification."
V. Value-Based Definition:
"Quality means best for certain customer conditions. These conditions are (a) the actual use
and (b) the selling price of the product."
17. What is TQM?
TQM is the enhancement to the traditional way of doing business.
It is a proven technique to guarantee survival in the world-class competition.
TQM is for the most part common sense.
Analyzing three words (TQM), we have:
Total—Made up of the whole
Quality—Degree of excellence a product or service provides
Management—Act, art, or manner of handling, controlling directing, etc.
Therefore TQM is the art of managing the whole to achieve the excellence.
18. What is TQM? (Continued)
TQM is defined as both philosophy and a set of guiding principles that
represents the foundation of a continuously improving organization.
It is the application of quantitative methods and human resources to
improve all the processes within an organization and exceed customer
needs now and in future.
TQM integrates fundamental management techniques, existing
improvement efforts, and technical tools under disciplined approach.
19. Total Quality Management (TQM)
In trying to define TQM is it is well worth considering the relevance and meaning of the three words in it's
title.:
Total - The responsibility for achieving Quality rests with everyone a business no matter what their
function. It recognizes the necessity to develop processes across the business, that together lead to the
reliable delivery of exact, agreed customer requirements. This will achieve the most competitive cost
position and a higher return on investment.
Quality - The prime task of any business is to understand the needs of the customer, then deliver the
product or service at the agreed time, place and price, on every occasion. This will retain current
customers, assist in acquiring new ones and lead to a subsequent increase in market share.
Management - Top management lead the drive to achieve quality for customers, by communicating the
business vision and values to all employees; ensuring the right business processes are in place; introducing
and maintaining a continuous improvement culture.
