Managing and Improving Quality
WEEK 1
A successful business delivers value:
- for customers: beneficial product or survice
- for employees: respect, training and meaningful work
- for investors: high returns
- for society: no environmental impact or social harm

“A complaint is a gift, most customers just do not return.”

Quality History
- Age of Craftsmanship: direct contact with customers, informal approach to quality
- Industrial revolution: larger volumes, no direct contact with customer
- Taylor: Principles of Scientific Management: planning and execution separated, job
segmentation, focus on efficiency
- Henry Ford: total quality practices
- After WO2: organizational approach to quality
- Japanese products have higher quality levels

What is Quality:
- Excellence
- judgement is different for everyone, abstract, can’t be defined or measured
- Value
- combination of what you get from a product relative to what you paid for it,
subjective; depends on consumer preference for value
- Conformance to specifications
- objective, but can more easily be measured
- Meeting customer expectations
- quality lies in the eye of the beholder, objective
- Product-based
- the presence of attributes in a product or service

Eight Dimensions of Product Quality (Garvin)
• Performance: primary operating characteristics of a product
• Features: secondary characteristics
• Reliability: the probability of a product’s failing
• Conformance: degree to which product’s design and operating characteristics match
pre-established standards
• Durability: the lifetime of the product
• Serviceability: the ease of maintenance and repair
• Aesthetics: how a product looks, feels, smells, sounds, and tastes
• Perceived quality: reputation of product in marketplace

, - Service Quality gap: gap between expected and perceived service
- Knowledge gap: management perceptions of customer expectations vs word-of-mouth
communications
- Communications gap: gap between service delivery and external communications
- Delivery gap: gap between service delivery and translations of perceptions into service
quality specifications
- Standards gap: gap between management perceptions of consumer expectations and
translations of perceptions into service quality specifications

Ten Quality Dimensions in Service (SERVQUAL)
- Reliability: ability to perform promised service accurately
- Responsiveness: willingness to help customers
- Competence/Skill: personnel has the necessary knowledge and skills
- Accessibility: simple and effective access to the organization
- Courtesy/Friendliness: treat customers politely and with respect
- Communication: keep customers informed, listening, clear language
- Credibility: confidence and honesty as radiated by the organization and its personnel
- Safety/Security: free of danger, risk or doubt
- Understanding the Customer: investigate customer needs
- Tangibles: Items that are part of the service

Refinement of ten dimensions:

,Product Quality in Design
- Primary customer values:
- Performability
- Affordability
- Feutureability - will it provide added benefits?
- Deliverability - will it be ready when I want it?
- Usability
- Maintainability

- Imageability - Will it convey an image of quality and prestige?
- Primary Company Values

- Leverageability
- Respectability - Will it strengthen our reputation?

Seven worst design solutions:
- Complex
- Precise
- Variable
- Sensitive
- Immature
- Dangerous
- Skill intensive

Conclusion of what is quality:
- focus on the customer
- balance between costs and benefits

Total Quality Management:
- Juran:
- Voice of Customer: spoken and unspoken needs of customer
- Internal customer: each person in the supply chain is a supplier but also a
customer
- Costs of quality:
- Failure cost: rework, warranty
- Appraisal cost: inspections
- Prevention cost: training, process improvement
- Planning - control - improvement
