Key Idea
As consumer expectations have risen, a
focus on quality has permeated other key
sectors of the economy, most notably
health care, education, not-for-profits,
and government.

Systems Thinking

A system is a set of functions or activities
within an organization that work together for
the aim of the organization.
 Subsystems of an organization are linked
together as internal customers and
suppliers.
 A systems perspective acknowledges the
importance of the interactions of
subsystems, not the actions of them
individually.

Key Idea
Successful management relies on a
systems perspective, one of the most
important elements of total quality.

Key Idea
Traditional quality assurance systems in
manufacturing focus primarily on technical
issues such as equipment reliability,
inspection, defect measurement, and
process control.

Marketing and sales personnel are
responsible for determining the needs
and expectations of consumers.
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing

Quality in Product
Design
Product design and engineering functions
develop technical specifications for
products and production processes to
meet the requirements determined by the
marketing function.

11
Quality in Purchasing
A purchasing agent should not simply be
responsible for low-cost procurement, but
should maintain a clear focus on the
quality of purchased goods and materials.

12
Quality in Production
Planning & Scheduling
Poor quality often results from time
pressures caused by insufficient planning
and scheduling.
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
13
Quality in Manufacturing
and Assembly
Both technology and people are essential
to high-quality manufacturing.

Quality in Production
Planning & Scheduling
Poor quality often results from time
pressures caused by insufficient planning
and scheduling.
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
15
Quality in Process
Design
Manufacturing processes must be
capable of producing output that meets
specifications consistently.

16
Quality in Finished Goods
Inspection and Testing
The purposes of final product inspection
are to judge the quality of manufacturing,
to discover and help to resolve production
problems that may arise, and to ensure
that no defective items reach the customer.

17
Quality in Installation and
Service
Service after the sale is one of the most
important factors in establishing customer
perception of quality and customer
loyalty.
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
18
Quality in Business Support
Functions for Manufacturing
 Finance
and accounting
 Quality assurance
 Legal services
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
19
Key Idea
Every manager is responsible for
studying and improving the quality of the
process for which he or she is
responsible; thus, every manager is a
quality manager.
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
20
Quality in Services
is defined as “any primary or
complementary activity that does not
directly produce a physical product – that
is, the non-goods part of the transaction
between buyer (customer) and seller
(provider).”
 Service
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
21
Key Idea
The American Management Association
estimates that the average company
loses as many as 35 percent of its
customers each year, and that about twothirds of these are lost because of poor
customer service.

22
Critical Differences Between
Service and Manufacturing (1 of 2)
 Customer
needs and performance
standards are more difficult to identify
and measure
 Services requires a higher degree of
customization
 Output is intangible
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
23
Critical Differences Between
Service and Manufacturing (2 of 2)
 Services
are produced and consumed
simultaneously
 Customers are often involved in actual
process
 Services are more labor-intensive than
manufacturing
 Services handle large numbers of
transactions
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
24
Key Idea
These differences make it difficult for
many service organizations to apply total
quality principles, and foster misguided
perceptions that quality management
cannot be effectively accomplished in
services.

25
Components of Service
System Quality
 Employees
 Information
technology
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
26
Key Idea
Researchers have repeatedly
demonstrated that when service employee
job satisfaction is high, customer
satisfaction is high, and that when job
satisfaction is low, customer satisfaction is
low.
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
27
Key Idea
Information technology is essential for
quality in modern service organizations
because of the high volumes of information
they must process and because customers
demand service at ever-increasing speeds.

Quality in Health Care
 Joint
Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)
 National Committee for Quality
Assurance (NCQA)
 Institute for Healthcare Improvement
(IHI)
 1999 expansion of the Baldrige Award
to nonprofit health care organizations
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
29
Quality Issues in Health Care
 Avoidable
errors
 Underutilization of services
 Overuse of services
 Variation in services
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
30
Key Idea
Although the national health care system
as a whole may need a sweeping
overhaul, many individual providers have
turned toward quality as a means of
achieving better performance and
customer satisfaction.

Quality in Education
 Koalaty
Kid
 Active
involvement of whole school
community

Quality in Higher Education
Business plays an important role in
fostering quality improvement efforts in
higher education by transferring
knowledge and expertise on quality
processes and implementation practices.

Academic Quality
Improvement Project (AQIP)
AQIP criteria focuses on institutional practices for
helping students learn, accomplishing other
distinct objectives, understanding student and
stakeholder needs, valuing people, leading and
communicating, supporting institutional
operations, measuring effectiveness, planning
continuous improvement, and building
collaborative relationships—all of which are key
elements of TQ.

Quality in Small Business and
Not-for-Profits
 Slow
to adopt quality approaches
 General
lack of understanding and
knowledge about quality
 Focus on sales and market growth, cash
flow, and routine fire fighting
 Lack of resources for formal quality
systems
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
35
Key Idea
Perhaps the most important factor in
successful quality initiatives in small
businesses is the recognition by the CEO
or president that a quality focus can be
beneficial and lead to achieving
organizational goals.

Quality in the Public Sector
 Quality
in the Federal Government
 Federal
Quality Institute
 President’s Quality Award
 State
and Local Quality Efforts
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing
37
Key Idea
Quality concepts and principles are
universal and can be applied in all types
of organizations. The difficulty, of
course, is developing an infrastructure
to make it happen and the discipline to
sustain efforts over time.
