Deming’s 14 Points • Create constancy of purpose • Adopt a new philosophy • Cease dependence on mass inspection • End the practice of buying on price alone • Use statistical methods to find problems and continually improve
Deming’s 14 Points • Institute modern methods of on-the- job training • Improve supervision • Drive out fear • Break down barriers • Eliminate numerical goals and slogans
Deming’s 14 Points • Eliminate work standards that simply set quotas • Remove barriers between employees and their pride of workmanship • Institute a vigorous program of education and retraining • Structure management to continually support these points
Prominent Quality Experts (“Gurus”) • J. M. Juran: focus on quality: • Planning: set quality level & design the production process to achieve it - annual quality program • Control: use SQC to ensure product quality meets standards as while in production • Improvement: Study & analyze problems & implement a remedy. 100’s of Quality Improvements projects going on in a company.
Prominent Quality Experts (“Gurus”) • P.B. Crosby: Quality is free - “absolute Quality management’ • First: Quality - conformance to requirements • Second: Prevention to achieve quality (with the help of SQC) • Third: ZERO defects is achievable • Finally: quality must be measured.
Prominent Quality Experts (“Gurus”) • A. V. Feigenbaum: TQC • all areas in company emphasize quality • quality at the source • quality problems: workers/supervisors stop line
Prominent Quality Experts (“Gurus”) • K. Ishikawa: Quality Circles, Fishbone Diagram & graphical analysis of quality problems • G. Taguchi: Use product & process design to achieve high quality at lowest cost. Quality is achieved with product uniformity around a target • Loss function (all costs of poor quality) • set production process to achieve uniformity
Quality Awards • The Deming Application Prize: (1957) Annual- meet set of standards for successful application of SQC. Three major categories: individuals in Japan, organizations in Japan, overseas organizations.
Quality Awards • The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award: (1987) Given annually to up to 2 companies in manufacturing, service and small business. Criteria include: soundness of approach to quality improvement, quality management program & its implemen- tation and customer satisfaction.
Quality Awards • The president’s Award for Quality: (1988) recognize US federal Government agencies with >500 workers • The IIE Award for Excellence in Productivity Improvement: (1980) • NASA’s Quality and Excellence Award- for quality among suppliers
ISO 9000 Standards • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) - 90 member countries • Purpose of ISO: Global agreement on international standards • system to certify suppliers to meet quality management standards
ISO 9000 Standards • First published in 1987 in 4 subsections • ISO 9001: Quality systems - Model for Quality Assurance in Design/Development, Production, Installation, and Servicing - widest scope of application • ISO 9002: Quality systems - Model for Quality Assurance in Production and Installation • ISO 9003: Quality systems - Model for Quality Assurance in Final Inspection and Test • ISO 9004: Quality systems - Quality Management & Quality System Elements - Guidelines
ISO 9000 Accreditation • Originally customers would evaluate the quality systems of their suppliers • Some EC countries (e.g. UK) require an accredited registrar to assess (for a fee) a company’s quality system & its compliance with ISO 9000 • Certificate is issued to company meeting ISO • Company becomes ISO Registrars • In the future virtually all products exported to the EC will require certification
Gaining The Competitive Edge • In the US many of the applicants for the Baldrige Award also apply for ISO 9000 registration. • Two complement each other with the same goals of commitment to total quality & customer satisfaction • ISO 9000: documentation, the standardization and the common language needed to establish a quality management system • The Baldrige criteria focus more on continuous improvement, measurement of processes and strategic planning
