FOUR KEY PRINCIPLES • Measure quality so you can affect it • Focus on a moving customer • Involve every employee • Think long term - Act short term
THE CASE FOR QUALITY 1 Success of competitors who take quality seriously 2 Rising expectations of customers 3 Quality differentiates companies from the competition 4 Narrowing of supplier bases by quality conscious companies .
THE CASE FOR QUALITY 5 Growing evidence that growth in market share comes from sustained quality. 6 Cost advantages 7 High cost of catastrophic failure 8 Inspection poor substitute for right first time
What is the Objective ofTotal Quality Management? The Objective of TQM is to Improve Continuously Each and Every Activity in the Company, Focusing on the Customer. Quality is: Defined by the Customer!!!
Five Principles of aNew Culture • The TQM philosophy derives from one foundational idea: everything must be geared towards customer satisfaction, the engine which drives the company and on which its future survival depends. • The quality of a product or a service is the value assigned to it by customers, that is, the amount they are prepared to pay. That’s all. • Anything which is not in line with this expectation, anything unnecessary or redundant should be discarded.
Five Principles of aNew Culture • TQM aims to trim this non-value added “fat” by complete overhaul of the management system, using continual improvement as a guideline. • To this end, people must be empowered and must become part of cohesive work systems; they must be given the means to do what they do best: in addition to nails, they must also be given a hammer.
Cultural Principles • The processes, that is the operating procedures at all levels of the company, must be thoroughly brought under control and optimized. The consistency of the whole is more important than the optimization of each individual unit. • Management must be guided by this concern for consistency.
Cultural Principles • This synergy makes it possible to better control the three elements of Quality, Cost and Delivery (QCD) which are the three components of a response tailor-made to meet customer expectations. • This applies within the company as well, where the customer-supplier relationship is fundamental in each link of the chain. • Anything which is not customer-driven, within or outside the company, is merely waste.
What is a Process? • A process is a set of successive operations targeting a specific result. • It involves input (data, materials, products in various stages of completion) from suppliers or previous processes, which it transforms and transmits either to a process downstream, or to a customer. • In other words, a process is a series of tasks performed with specific resources.
In-House Customers andOutside Customers • The expectations of the outside customer, the buyer or user of the product, may be seen in the context of in-house customer / supplier relationships, which play a vital role in improving company performance. • The in-house supplier is the product, service or advice, which represents the end-product of one stage in the process. • The in-house customer is the office, shop or service which carries out the next stage.
In-House Customers andOutside Customers • Each acts as supplier and customer with respect to and for the other. • A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND PRINCIPLE: This relationship encourages useful activity. • GET YOUR OWN HOUSE IN ORDER PRINCIPLE: The in-house customer / supplier relationship is one of the keys to satisfying the outside customer.
The Customer is theUltimate Judge of Value • Customers assign a value to the product or service in accordance with their needs and desires, either expressed or implicit. • In exchange for this value, they pay and often go into debt, and this constitutes the sole source of income for the business. • We need to move away from a strategy based on marketing products to one based on delighting customers. • We need to know how to anticipate their needs, even to the point of influencing the ways their needs change. • We have to provide customers with the service and the reliability they expect at a competitive price with the timing and conditions which are most convenient for them.
2. Search for a “Lean” Approach • Improving output means serving customers better, faster, and less expensively by consuming fewer resources. • Anything which does not contribute either directly or indirectly to customer satisfaction must be eliminated. • Identify and eliminate everything except that which is “lean” or “just enough” in all sectors and all levels of activity with the goal of continual improvement: • causes of rework, • poorly calculated investments, • excessive inventory, • skills under-utilized or poorly utilized. • This step will lead to a streamlining or an overhaul of all processes.
3. Controlling theProcess Means Reducing Dispersion • Improving the process through greater control means first and foremost controlling dispersion in the quality of products and services offered. • This means adhering to a permanent standard of quality within the limits acceptable to the customer, either within the company or outside it. • Only then can we attempt to do even better by enhancing or modifying the process. • This is a preliminary step towards challenging existing processes.
4. Involving and Empowering People • Employees are a company’s most precious resource and the only one which can take control of processes and identify and reduce anything which does not meet the “lean” or “just enough” standard. • Fort that reason, people must be involved and empowered and their value recognized. • Initiative and creativity must be developed in order to encourage problem-solving. • Human resource development involves acquisition of experience linked with a training component, which must focus on the importance of cooperation and team work as incentives for better quality, productivity and safety.
5. The Spiral of Continual Improvement • The Goal of TQM is progress - not perfection - there is no ideal state which, once reached, will allow the company to rest from its endeavors. • What matters is the degree of progress achieved and its rapidity: progress is based on the S-PDSA Cycle (or, better, modified Deming Cycle) • Along with innovation, continual improvement focuses on solving problems and finding reliable solutions. • This includes daily progress in routine matters as well as large-scale cross-functional improvements, without necessarily resorting to additional investment.

Daily Control • Daily Control is the application of PDSA to daily incremental continuous improvement: • Hoshin Planning draws information from the ongoing data collection and analysis of the Daily Control process to identify broad system problems in which breakthrough is needed. • Once breakthroughs have occurred, they can become the focus of daily continuous improvement.
Cross-Functional Management • Cross-functional management concerns the systems by which functions & departments work together to achieve common organizational targets such as quality, cost, delivery & product (QCDP). • Quality Function Deployment (QFD) or “listening to the voice of the customer” can identify areas for planning breakthrough. • The Hoshin Planning process often requires cooperation across functions as well as vertical alignments.
Hoshin Planning The Destination that we MUST Reach Where We Are • Hoshin --- “That by which we navigate” - The organizational NORTH STAR. • Policy Management --- Policy Deployment • Focused Planning Hoshin Kanri
Hoshin Planning Definition • Hoshin Planning is that part of an organization’s strategic planning system which identifies, develops, deploys, audits, and modifies a specific plan to focus the organization’s efforts on the breakthroughs of developments required to achieve the strategic vision of the organization.
Hoshin Planning • Hoshin Planning is a method that captures and concretizes strategic goals and flashes of insight about the future and that develops the means to bring these into reality. • The intent of Hoshin Planning is to integrate an entire organization’s daily activities with its long term goals.

UNIT OPTIMIZATION“Daily Control” • Within this arena are the so-called “Seven Traditional Tools of Quality”, even though there is not perfect agreement on what those seven tools are. Among these: • Histograms & Pareto Diagrams; • Scatter Diagrams; Boxplots; • Cause & Effect Diagrams; • Process Flow Diagrams; • Control Charts and Run Charts; • Check Sheets; and • Stem-and-Leaf Plots.
VERTICAL ALIGNMENT “Hoshin Planning” • Hoshin Planning • “Management & Planning Tools”: • Affinity Diagrams; • Brainstorming; • Nominal Group Technique; • Matrix Diagrams; • Radar Charts; • Force Field Analysis; • Prioritization Matrices.
