  4. What is Quality? • You only need to ask 4 questions to determine if quality customer service is being provided: • What is your service, product, or process? • Who are your customers? • What do they expect? • Are you delivering to those expectations? • Total Quality is meeting the customer’s expectations by doing the right thing right the first time.

Data • “In God we trust, others must have data.” • Decisions are based on fact and data, not management’s hunch or intuition. • Identify specific problems and isolate the magnitude of waste. • Target solutions on “root” causes. • Measure progress/improvement with Statistical Process Control (SPC).

  6. Data • “Quality must be transformed from meaning ‘more and better of everything’ to ‘searching relentlessly for means of improvement that reduce costs while maintaining or enhancing quality’…” • Enhancing Quality in an Era of Resource Restraints, The University of Michigan

  7. Process Concepts • 94% of the problems are in the process; 6% are with the workers. • Workers are responsible for doing the work within the system; Managers are responsible for improving the system. • Workers know where to find the problems and the solutions. • Teams of employees can improve processes to solve problems. • W. Edwards Deming

  8. Employee Involvement • All employees, no matter what they do or where they work, have ideas about how to do their work more productively. • Employees represent a source of knowledge and creativity which we often fail to utilize. • The people closest to the problems often have the best ideas on how to make improvements.

  9. Employee Involvement • Most employees are willing, even eager, to share their ideas. • People involved in making the decisions are more committed to implementing those decisions. • Management does not have all the answers. • Adapted from Xerox Corporation
