Quality

A term used by customers to describe their general satisfaction with a service or product.

Costs of Quality

Four major categories:

Prevention Costs

Appraisal Costs

Internal Failure Costs

External Failure Costs

Many companies spend significant time, effort, and expense on systems, training, and organizational changes to improve quality and performance of their processes. It is estimated that COQ ranges from 20 to 30 percent of gross sales.

Costs of Quality

Prevention Costs are associated with preventing defects before they happen

Appraisal Costs are incurred when a firm assesses the level of performance of its processes

Internal Failure Costs result from defects that are discovered during the production of a service or product

External Failure Costs arise when a defect is discovered after the customer receives the product or service

Ethical Failure Costs are the societal and monetary costs associated with passing defective services or products to customers

TQM & Six Sigma

What is Total Quality Management?

Total Quality Management (TQM)

Is a quality strategy that focuses on achieving high levels of process performance and quality by stressing three principles:

Customer Satisfaction

Employee Involvement

Continuous Improvement

Customer Satisfaction

Conformance to Specifications

Value

Fitness for Use

Support

Psychological Impressions

Total Quality Management

Principles

Customer satisfaction (internal or external): when customers’ expectations have been met or exceeded.

Conformance to specifications

It is the processes that produced the service or product that are really being judged.

Specifications may relate to consistent quality, on-time delivery, or delivery speed.

Value

How well the service or product serves its intended purpose at a price customers are willing to pay.

Fitness for use: customer may consider the convenience of a service or the mechanical features of a product.

Support: the service or product support may be as important to the customer as the service or product itself.

Psychological impressions: atmosphere, image, or aesthetics

Self-managed teams

Total Quality Management

Principles

Employee involvement

Cultural change

Challenge is to define customer for each employee

External customers buy the service or product.

Internal customers are employees in the firm who rely on output of other employees. An assembly line is a chain of internal customer-supplier relationships, with an external customer purchasing the finished goods.

Top management must motivate cultural change.

Everyone is expected to contribute and share the view that quality control is an end to itself

Quality at the source

Teams

Employee involvement is a key tactic for improving processes and quality

Small groups of people

Common purpose.

Set their own performance goals and approaches

Hold themselves accountable for success

Three employee-empowerment approaches to teamwork

Problem-solving teams (also called quality circles)

Special-purpose teams

Self-managing teams, the highest level of worker participation

10

Continuous Improvement

Kaizen

Problem-solving tools

Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle

Total Quality Management

Principles

Based on the Japanese concept, kaizen

The philosophy of continually seeking ways to improve processes.

Not unique to quality. Applies to process improvement as well.

Getting started

SPC training

Make SPC a normal aspect of daily operations.

Build work teams and employee involvement.

Utilize problem-solving tools within the work teams.

Develop operator ownership in the process.

11

Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle

Total Quality Management

Principles

Problem-solving process: The Deming Wheel

Plan—select a process needing improvement, document process, analyze data, set improvement goals, discuss alternatives, assess benefits and costs, develop a plan and improvement measures.

Do—implement plan, monitor improvements.

Study—analyze data to evaluate effectiveness of the plan.

Act—document and disseminate improved process as a standard procedure.

Statistical Process Control

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

SPC

The application of statistical techniques to determine whether a process is delivering what the customer wants.

Performance Measurements

Variables (Continuous) – Characteristics that can be measured.

Attributes (Discrete) – Characteristics that can be counted.

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

A process that is in statistical control:

Is stable and predictable

Variation will be limited to an expected range

But still may not be capable

A process that is out of statistical control:

Is unstable and unpredictable

Variation will not be limited to the expected range

Variation may be extreme

Types of Variation

Common cause

Variation that is random, unidentifiable and unavoidable

Special cause

Variation that can be identified and eliminated

Effects of Special Cause Variation on the Process Distribution

Control Charts

Time-ordered diagram used to determine whether observed variations are abnormal

Control Charting

A control chart always has a central line for the average, an upper line for the upper control limit and a lower line for the lower control limit.

By comparing current data to these lines, one can make conclusions about whether the process variation is in control or out of control (special cause variation)

Variable data control charts use two charts with attribute data using one chart

[Explain]

Describe the anatomy of a control chart – use the bullets as a guideline for your explanation.

[Draw this on the Board]

[Insert graphic from supplemental PPT, slide 7]

Remember the Galton box?

If you turn the SPC on its end and shook all of the points to the bottom, you would be a Probability Density Function (PDF) that would appear to be a normal distribution.

Types of Control Charts

Variable Data Control Charts

X-bar Chart – Measures whether the process is generating output consistent with a target value.

R Chart – Measures the variability of the process.

S Chart – Measures the Standard Deviation of the process.

Attribute Data Control Charts

p-chart – Measures the proportion of defective services of products in a process.

c-chart – Measures the proportion of defects in one service or product.

c-chart example

The Woodland Paper Company produces paper for the newspaper industry. As a final step in the process, the paper passes through a machine that measures various product quality characteristics. When the paper production process is in control, it averages 20 defects per roll.

a. Set up a control chart for the number of defects per roll. For this example, use two-sigma control limits.
