    INTRODUCTION:

    Many organisations implementing total

    quality have found it necessary to

    reconfigure the structures of their

    organisations.

    This chapter will:

    - Describe the functional structure, the most commonstructure used at the plant or business unit level,

    - Show how many aspects of the functional structure

    stand in the way of quality and what changes are

    necessary to create organisation structures that supportTQ.

    -Provide several examples of how firms are making

    substantial changes in their organisations in order toimplement TQ, and

    - compare organisational design from a TQ point of view

    to more conventional perspectives.

    functional structure groups people together into functional departments such as purchasing, accounts,

    production, sales, marketing. These departments would normally have functional heads who may be called

    managers or directors depending on whether the function is represented at board level.

    REDESIGNING ORGANISATIONS FOR QUALITYPoor organisation design can be devastating to a company

    (read note on wired for failures page 195).

    One of Deming 14 points is tobreak down barriers

    between departments because people in various depts

    must work as a team.

    People cannot contribute to customer satisfaction and

    continuous improvement if they are confined to functional

    prisons where they cannot see customers or hear their

    voices.

    Some of the more effective way to break

    down these barriers are :

    -To focus on processes,

    - recognise internal customers,

    - create a team-based organisation,

    - reduced hierarchy, and

    - use steering committee

    Focus on processes

    Process is how work creates value for customers.

    Common business processes include;

    acquiring customer and market knowledge,

    fulfilling customer orders,

    purchasing ,

    developing new product or service,

    strategic planning,

    production or service delivery,

    distribution,R&D,

    information management,

    performance measurement and

    training.

    Individuals or groups, known as process owners ,are

    accountable for process performance and have the

    authority to manage and improve their process.

    Process owners may ranged from high level

    executives who manage cross-functional processes

    to workers who run machinery on the floor.

    By aligning the structure of an organisation with the

    actual processes that the organisation performs,

    customers may be served more effectively.

    For example, a dispatch department may be the

    internal customer of a packing department, which in

    turn may be the internal customer of the manufacturingprocess.

    Another example, machine operators in a

    manufacturing plant are customers of maintenance.

    KAIZEN

    KAIZEN means improvement. Moreover, KAIZEN meanscontinuing improvement in personal life, home life, social

    life, and working life. When applied to the workplace

    KAIZEN means continuing improvement involving everyone

    - managers and workers alike.

    It comes from the Japanese words "Kai" meaning school, and

    "Zen" meaning wisdom.

    Two Elements of KAIZEN- Improvement/change- Ongoing/continuity

    Lacking one of those elements would not be considered KAIZEN. For

    instance, the expression of "business as usual" contains the element ofcontinuity without improvement. On the other hand, the expression of

    "breakthrough" contains the element of change or improvement without

    continuity. KAIZEN should contain both elements

    Maintenance Innovation and KAIZENIn our concepts, three functions should happensimultaneously within any organizations: Maintenance,

    Innovation, and KAIZEN.

    By maintenance, we refer to maintaining the current status,the procedures are set and the standards are implemented.People in the lower level of organization mostly do that, theymaintain their standards.

  • 8/14/2019 5 Designing Organisation for Q

    By Innovation, we refer to breakthrough activities initiatedby top management, buying new machines, newequipment, developing new markets, directing R&D,

    change of strategy etc.

    In the middle there is K IZ N, small steps but continuingimprovement.

    KAIZEN should be implemented by the lower/middlemanagement and the workers, with the encouragementand direction of the top.

    The top management responsibility is to develop KAIZENworking cultures in the organization.

    Structural Contingency theoryis a class of behavioral theory that claims that there is no best

    way to organize a corporation, to lead a company, or to make

    decisions. Instead, the optimal course of action is contingent

    (dependent) upon the internal and external situation.

    Organisations need to adopt the structure that fits their

    situational factors, or contingencies such as strategy and size,

    because this leads to higher organisational performance.

    Institutional theoryis "A widely accepted theoretical posture that emphasizes rational

    myths, isomorphism, and legitimacy.

    Institutional theory focuses on the deeper and more resilientaspects of social structure. It considers the processes by which

    structures, including schemes, rules, norms, and routines, become

    established as authoritative guidelines for social behavior.
