Total Quality Management

TQM is an enhancement to the traditional way of doing business. It is a proven technique to

guarantee survival in world class competition. Only by changing the actions of management

will the culture and actions of an entire organization be transformed.

Total : Made up of the whole

Quality : Degree of excellence a product or service provides

Management : Act, art or manner of handling , controlling ,directing etc.

So TQM is the art of managing the whole to achieve excellence. It is both a philosophy and a

set of guiding principles that represent the foundation of continuously improving the

organization. It is the application of quantitative methods and human resources to improve all

the processes within the organization and exceed customer needs now and in the near

future.

TQM integrates fundamental management techniques, existing improvement efforts, and

technical tools under a disciplined approach.

Deming Prize

The Deming prize, established in December 1950 in honor of W. Edwards Deming, was

originally designed to reward Japanese companies for major advances in quality

improvement. Over the years it has grown, under the guidance of Japanese Union of

Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) to where it is now also available to non-Japanesecompanies, albeit usually operating in Japan, and also to individuals recognized as having

made major contributions to the advancement of quality. The awards ceremony is broadcast

every year in Japan on national television.

Two categories of awards are made annually, the Deming Prize for Individuals and the

Deming Application Prize.

Quality Planning

The road map consists of structured and sequential steps

Output of each preceding activity or step becomes the input for the next step and so on

This quality planning road map is applicable to all industries in both the manufacturing and

service sectors. It is applicable at all levels in an organization, such as corporate, division,

department, job and in all functional areas like marketing, finance,production / operations and

human resources (HR)

The quality planning road map can be applied at the following levels

Supervisory and worker level

Functional level

Multifunctional systems and

Major programs

- 17 -

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

Supervisory and Worker Levels

Each employee is assigned a job .Large number of jobs require quality planning as well as

re-planning as the job may be dynamic. In some cases the employees themselves are

training to plan their jobs.

The concepts and tools which are used for quality planning at this stage are

Self control concept

Triple role concept

- 18 -

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

20/40

Self control concept

The self control concept emphasizes that the person should have full control as well as

mastery over the attainment of planned results of the assigned job. Inorder to achieve self

control, a person should be provided with

Knowledge of what he is supposed to do

Knowledge of what others are doing and

Means for regulating either of the above two, if the failure to meet the objectives results

The triple role concept

It stresses that each employee holding a job should be able to carry out the following 3 roles

As a customer (getting inputs from suppliers)

As a processor

As a supplier (Creating products to customers)

Dr. Edward Deming

Dr. W. Edwards Deming: (1900-1993) is considered to be the Father of Modern Quality. Dr.Deming preached that to achieve the highest level of performance requires more than a

good philosophythe organization must change its behavior and adopt new ways of doing

business.

Point 1: Create constancy of purpose toward

improvement of the product and service so as to

become competitive, stay in business and

provide jobs.

Point 2:Adopt the new philosophy. We are in a

new economic age. We no longer need live with

commonly accepted levels of delay, mistake,

defective material and defective workmanship.

Point 3:Cease dependence on mass inspection;

require, instead, statistical evidence that quality is

built in.

Point 4: Improve the quality of incoming

materials. End the practice of awarding business

on the basis of a price alone. Instead, depend on

meaningful measures of quality, along with price.

Point 5: Find the problems; constantly improve

the system of production and service. There

should be continual reduction of waste and

continual improvement of quality in every activity

so as to yield a continual rise in productivity and a

decrease in costs.

- 24 -

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

26/40

Point 6:Institute modern methods of training and

education for all. Modern methods of on-the-job

training use control charts to determine whether a

worker has been properly trained and is able to

perform the job correctly. Statistical methods mustbe used to discover when training is complete.

Point 7:Institute modern methods of supervision.

The emphasis of production supervisors must be

to help people to do a better job. Improvement of

quality will automatically improve productivity.

Management must prepare to take immediateaction on response from supervisors concerning

problems such as inherited defects, lack of

maintenance of machines, poor tools or fuzzy

operational definitions.

- 25 -

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

27/40

Point 8 : Fear is a barrier to improvement so

drive out fear by encouraging effective two-way

communication and other mechanisms that will

enable everybody to be part of change, and to

belong to it.

Fear can often be found at all levels in an

organization: fear of change, fear of the fact that it

may be necessary to learn a better way of

working and fear that their positions might be

usurped frequently affect middle and higher

management, whilst on the shop-floor, workers

can also fear the effects of change on their jobs.

Point 9: Break down barriers between

departments and staff areas. People in different

areas such as research, design, sales,

administration and production must work in teams

to tackle problems that may be encountered with

products or service.

Point 10: Eliminate the use of slogans, posters

and exhortations for the workforce, demanding

zero defects and new levels of productivity

without providing methods. Such exhortations

only create adversarial relationships.

- 26 -

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

28/40

Point 11: Eliminate work standards that prescribe

numerical quotas for the workforce and numerical

goals for people in management. Substitute aids

and helpful leadership.

Point 12: Remove the barriers that rob hourly

workers, and people in management, of their right

to pride of workmanship. This implies, abolition of

the annual merit rating (appraisal of performance)

and of management by objectives.

Point 13: Institute a vigorous program ofeducation, and encourage self-improvement for

everyone. What an organization needs is not just

good people; it needs people that are improving

with education.

Point 14: Top management's permanent

commitment to ever-improving quality andproductivity must be clearly defined and a

management structure created that will

continuously take action to follow the preceding

13 points.

What is the relation of Strategic Planning and Total Q alit

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

What is the relation of Strategic Planning and Total Quality

Management?

When an organization chooses to make quality a major competitive edge (differentiation), it

becomes the central issue in strategic planning. This is especially reflected in vision, missionand policy guidelines of an organization.

An essential idea behind strategic quality planning is that the product is customer value

rather than a physical product or service. This feat cannot be achieved unless an

organization creates a culture of quality and no strategy and plan can be worthwhile unless it

is carefully implemented.

Seven steps to Quality Planning

Discover customer needs

Customer positioning

Predict the future

Gap analysis

Closing the gap

Alignment

Implementation

- 31 -

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

33/40

1. Customer Needs:The first step is to discover the future needs of the customers. Who will

they be? Will your customer base change? What will they want? How will they want? How

will the organization meet and exceed expectations?

2. Customer Positioning:Next, the planners determine where organization wants to be inrelation to the customers. Do they want to retain, reduce, or expand the customer base.

Product or services with poor quality performance should be targeted for breakthrough or

eliminated. The organizations needs to concentrate its efforts on areas of excellence.

3. Predict the future:Next planners must look into their crystal balls to predict the future

conditions that will affect their product or service. Demographics, economics forecasts, and

technical assessments or projections are tools that help predict the future.

4. Gap Analysis :This step requires the planner to identify the gaps between the current

state and the future state of the organization. An analysis of the core values and concepts is

an excellent technique for pinpointing gaps.

5. Closing the Gap:The plan can now be developed to close the gap by establishing goals

and responsibilities. All stakeholders should be included in the development of the plan.

6. Alignment:As the plan is developed, it must be aligned with the mission, vision, and core

values and concepts of the organization. Without this alignment, the plan will have littlechance of success.

7. Implementation:This last step is frequently the most difficult. Resources must be

allocated to collecting data, designing changes, and overcoming resistance to change. Also

part of this step is the monitoring activity to ensure that progress is being made. The

planning group should meet at least once a year to assess progress and take any corrective

action. - 32 -

Quality Statements

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

34/40

Quality Statements

Quality statements are part of strategic planning process and once developed, are

occasionally reviewed and updated.

There are three types of quality statements:1. Vision statement

2. Mission statement

3. Quality policy statement

The utilization of these statements varies from organization to organization. Small

organization may use only the quality policy statement

- 33 -

Vision Statement

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

35/40

Vision Statement

The vision statement is a short declaration what an organization aspires to be tomorrow. A

vision statement, on the other hand, describes how the future will look if the organization

achieves its mission.

Successful visions are timeless, inspirational, and become deeply shared within the

organization, such as:

IBMs Service

Apples Computing for the masses

Disney theme parks the happiest place on the earth, and

Polaroids instant photography

- 34 -

Mission Statement

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

36/40

Mission Statement

A mission statement concerns what an organization is all about. The statement answers the

questions such as: who we are, who are our customers, what do we do and how do we do it.

This statement is usually one paragraph or less in length, easy to understand, and describes

the function of the organization. It provides clear statement of purpose for employees,customers, and suppliers.

An example of mission statement is:

Ford Motor Company is a worldwide leader in automatic and automotive related products

and services as well as the newer industries such as aerospace, communications, and

financial services. Our mission is to improve continually our products and services tomeet our customers needs, allowing us to prosper as a business and to provide a

reasonable return on to our shareholders, the owners of our business.

- 35 -

Quality Policy

8/13/2019 TQM - V2

37/40

Quality Policy

The quality policy is a guide for everyone in the organization as to how they should provide

products and services to the customers. It should be written by the CEO with feedback from

the workforce and be approved by the quality council. A quality policy is a requirement of ISO

9000.

A simple quality policy is:

Xerox is a quality company. Quality is the basic business principle for Xerox. Quality

means providing our external and internal customers with innovative products and

services that fully satisfy their requirements. Quality is the job of every employee.
