CUSTOMER SATISFACTION • Customer obsession • Number one priority • Experiencing the process • Management acting as consumer / customer • Profiling • Questionnaires • Surveys • Personal visits • Focus groups Total Quality Management
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION • Quality and reliability • Follow-up consultation • Kansei • Importance of value • Psychological impression • Websites • Availability • Delivery Total Quality Management
CONTINUOUSIMPROVEMENT • Japanese word kaizen, meaning incremental change • Use, Statistical Process Control and Quality Teams • USA-PDCA method Total Quality Management
UNDERSTAND (USA-PDCA) • Know customers, both internal and external • Know customer needs • Who are the customers of a process? • What products or services does the process supply? • What are the customer needs? • To what extend does the product or service meet customer expectations for quality? Total Quality Management
SELECT (USA-PDCA) • Identify discrepancies • Discrepancy if a product fails or exceeds expectations • Prioritize • Select Total Quality Management
ANALYZE (USA-PDCA) • Current State Analysis and Cause Analysis with flow charts and statistical quality control (SQC, similar to SPC) • SQC: control charts, histograms, scatter diagrams, pareto charts, fishbone diagrams, and check sheets Total Quality Management
PLAN(USA-PDCA) • PDCA cycle, begins when the cause of a variation has been identified; eliminate or emulate • Plan: Brainstorm, choose and develop a plan Total Quality Management
DO (USA-PDCA) • Carry out the plan • Can be done on experimental basis Total Quality Management
CHECK (USA-PDCA) • Use SPC to analyse performance • If not solved, loop back to the plan or analyze stage • If solved, move to the adopt phase Total Quality Management
ADOPT (USA-PDCA) • Implement the solution across the entire organization Total Quality Management
REPEAT • PDCA cycle may be repeated many times for an individual process • The USA process should be updated or repeated after major changes or time increments Total Quality Management
EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT • Foster employee ownership • Management system supportive of collaboration • Relying on quality at the source, not inspection • Employees involved in improving processes Total Quality Management
QUALITY TEAMS • Several volunteer employees responsible for a specific process • Undertake continuous improvement tasks, utilizing statistical process control to verify improvements • Recognise employees for contributions • Do not work well without managerial support or statistical process control Total Quality Management
SELF-MANAGED TEAMS • Hard to implement • Employees must be willing to take on more responsibility • If completed successfully, can be highly efficient Total Quality Management
SUGGESTION SYSTEM • Support of management and supervisors • Clear submission and rejection procedures • Reasons for rejecting made clear • Recognition when a suggestion is implemented Total Quality Management
IMPLEMENTATION • Requires systematic, integrated, consistent, organization wide approach • Determine specific changes necessary to create and maintain TQM • Requires a change in three dimensions • Physical methods (process , technology) • Culture (norms, values, beliefs) • Political System (decision making systems, power base) • TQM should be • purpose oriented • evolve from an organization's strategic plan • based on the expectations held by the customers Total Quality Management
IMPLEMENTATION (CONT’D) • Differs from one organization to the next • Common Aspects for TQM implementation: • Assessment of Current State • Determination and application of Plan of Action • Training • Quality of leadership is fundamental in facilitating change Total Quality Management
ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT STATE • Helps predict likelihood of successful implementation • Essential information regarding • Organization’s history • Current needs • Existing employee quality of life • Precipitating events leading up to TQM • Organization should be “basically healthy” before attempting TQM • Significant problems endanger success • unstable funding base • weak administrative systems • lack of managerial skills • poor employee morale • Level of stress on organization may be desirable to initiate TQM Total Quality Management
ACTION PLANNING • Method to determine and implement desired TQM changes • Involves entire organization • General steps for Action Planning • Define objective • Determine specific goals to support objective • Develop strategy • Determine and apply tactics and operations necessary for success • Integrate action into organization’s culture • Continuously collect data regarding improvement to ensure success of plan Total Quality Management
