INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction to the study

Total quality management (TQM) has spread its wings in every sphere of the global

corporate world and Indian companies are no exception. In this paper, first the growth

and spread of TQM in India is traced from its initiation to current status. Further, the

paper has tried to identify the causes for poor quality of products and service, and the

gaps that exist between the expectations and the outcome after adopting the TQM

practices. Later a critical view of the quality scene in India is presented, and finally,

based on these observations suitable guidelines and recommendations are made to

bridge this gap. It is concluded that there is still a long way to go for Indian

companies to receive the stamp of acceptance for their products at international level.

This is Total Quality Management Project Report. Human resource is the most

important factor for any organization and success of any Organization is depending

upon its resource. If human resource of organization is not happy with the

organization. It will adversely affect the organization.

The higher degree of commitment toward work will improve productivity and will

decrease rejection cause due to human factor. So, to make the people happy is the

responsibility of the organization. So this study is helpful to measure the level of

commitment toward work and to know the factor affecting the commitment level.

2.9 Manufacturing Process of Cotton Yarn

The basic procedure in cotton yarn spinning is the raw cotton is converted into a

thread of required quality and of a required count. The manufacturing process and

value addition/function of each stage of continuous process is explained as under.

Sr. No. Department Type of Activity Carryout

1 BLOWROOM Raw & un-cleaned cotton is fed into the blow room unit

and impurities of cotton such as trash, foreign particles and

other impurities are removed from cotton. The fire

diversion system diverts to a wet pond outside the factory,

any cotton that might catch fire due to friction of the

impurities. The Premier contamination clearer system

results in highly cleaned cotton and this is directly fed to

carding machines through chut feed method.

2 CARDING The cleaned cotton fed through chut from blow room is

further cleaned though lickerin wires and fine cleaned

cotton is converted into sliver using LMW carding

Machines. The cotton sliver/noil is stored in cans.

3 COMBING The carding sliver is further passed though combing unit

and short fiber contents of the cotton is further removed

from the sliver and cotton sliver/noil of very fine quality is

manufactured.

4 DRAWFRAME Multi slivers drawn from combers are fed into this units

and single sliver of these multi slivers is manufactured.

The draw frame finisher further enhances the slivers before

the spinning operation

5 SPEED FRAME This is the beginning of real spinning of the yarn. The

sliver is spun into primary stage of yarn, at a speed of

1,000-1,200 rpm and the sliver is winded on to pre-

primary bobbin

Sikkim Manipal University -9-

Page 10: Project Tqm

A Study of “Total Quality Management” in HR- Department with special reference to Fabtech Projects and Engineers Ltd. Sangola.

6 RINGFRAME The speed frame bobbins are loaded to the ring frame

machines and final yarn is manufactured. The ring frame

machine has a speed of 16,000 to 22,000 rpm and it is the

final stage of yarn manufacturing. The yarn is winded on

plastic bobbins.

7 AUTOCONNIN

G

We have specialized Auto conning machinery imported

from Germany that is used to wind the yarn on bobbins

onto cones of required quantity say, 1.00kg, 1.50kg,

1.89kg or say 3.00 kgs, as per requirement.

8 YARN

CONDITIONIN

G

The yarn cone of required size, manufactured on auto

coning machine is loaded on trollies and the trollies are

loaded into high pressure steam vessel. The high-pressure

vessel of steam is carrying out the process of yarn

conditioning and improves the strength value of the yarn

9 CHECKING &

PACKING

The yarn taken out from the yarn conditioning machine is

checked in ultraviolet light for contamination in yarn and

finally yarn is packed in HDPE Bag or Cartoon as per

requirement.

Chapter No. 3

Theoretical Background

3.1 Introduction:

An organization needs to consider ABCD for the effective application of TQM where

A stands for accident cure, B stands for breakdown, C stands for cost reduction and D

stands for damage. This policy of ABCD is in relation to product and if TQM needs to

be introduced a positive attitude from the side of management and employees is

required and then a collective effort will come up. TQM should give chance for

unleashing employee’s creativity and potential. The aim of TQM is to reduce

variations in quality of the products as well as in the working of whole organization.

For the successful implementation of TQM, an organization must consider the

commitment from all the level of organization.

A name itself is sufficient to describe everything but a bit more clarification will add to

a base for the description. TQM talks about the satisfaction of customer, supplier,

employees etc. and it requires continuous improvement. If the workers of an

organization are efficiently working then their morale will go up. TQM works

effectively if the organization works in a family manner. TQM works on one belief

that mistakes can be avoided and defects can be prevented. And management should

believe in watching each and every step. Here management is like a father, employees

are the children and manager is like mother and as father and mother takes care for

their home collectively the same way , management  and managers  are supposed to

take care for their organization with the help of tool  called TQM.

Total quality management is called total because entire organization is involved,

Quality means degree of excellence. And management in literal sense means getting

things done by others. In a TQM effort, all members of an organization participate in

improving processes, products, services and the culture in which they work. The

earlier introduced quality management concept is now taken over by Total quality

management. To have effective TQM the first requirement is strong internal

motivation and emotional involvement for implementation. So the concept of TQM

Sikkim Manipal University -12-

Page 13: Project Tqm

A Study of “Total Quality Management” in HR- Department with special reference to Fabtech Projects and Engineers Ltd. Sangola.

talks about adopting the new policy, creating quality products, eliminate defects,

estimate for breakdown, accidents etc . Hence TQM should be purpose driven so first

the whole organization should be willing to accept the change then only TQM can

actually affect the organization in a positive way.

TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Success in our modern business world depends greatly on the right approach to

manage a business. Businesses have to deal with tough competition and new

technological challenges.

Quality of Product and Service becomes more important.TQM is an integrative

philosophy of management for continuously improving the quality of employee

performance, products and processes.

Definition of total quality management:

Total Quality Management (TQM) is an approach that seeks to improve quality and

performance which will meet or exceed customer expectations. This can be achieved

by integrating all quality-related functions and processes throughout the company.

TQM looks at the overall quality measures used by a company including managing

quality design and development, quality control and maintenance, quality

improvement, and quality assurance. TQM takes into account all quality measures

taken at all levels and involving all company employees.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is defined as a Management method relying on

the cooperation of all members of an organization. A Management method that centers

on Quality and on the

long-term success of the

organization through the

satisfaction of the

Customers, ass well as the

benefit of all its members

and society.

Structure of TQM

3.2 What Is Total Quality Management

Total quality management is a management system for a customer focused

organization that involves all employees in continual improvement of all aspects of

the organization. TQM uses strategy, data, and effective communication to integrate

the quality principles into the culture and activities of the organization.

TQM is seen as the most comprehensive approach to Quality thinkable for an

enterprise. The pillars of Total Quality Management are T Q M

T stands for Total

It is the Integration of the Staff, Suppliers, Customers and other Stakeholders. Away

from Party- specific Thinking to a more holistic approach.

Q stands for Quality

It is the Quality of the work and the process of the Enterprise leading to Quality of

Products.

M for Management

It stresses the leadership task "Quality" and the Quality of leadership. From a

scientific point of view TQM can count as school of Leadership. From the enterprises

point of view TQM can be seen as a Leadership Model.

3.3 Origins of TQM

Total quality management has evolved from the quality assurance methods that were

first developed around the time of the First World War. The war effort led to large

scale manufacturing efforts that often produced poor quality. To help correct this,

quality inspectors were introduced on the production line to ensure that the level of

failures due to quality was minimized.

After the First World War, quality inspection became more commonplace in

manufacturing environments and this led to the introduction of Statistical Quality

Sikkim Manipal University -14-

Page 15: Project Tqm

A Study of “Total Quality Management” in HR- Department with special reference to Fabtech Projects and Engineers Ltd. Sangola.

Control (SQC), a theory developed by Dr. W. Edwards Deming. This quality method

provided a statistical method of quality based on sampling. Where it was not possible

to inspect every item, a sample was tested for quality. The theory of SQC was based

on the notion that a variation in the production process leads to variation in the end

product. If the variation in the process could be removed this would lead to a higher

level of quality in the end product.

After World War Two, the industrial manufacturers in Japan produced poor quality

items. In a response to this, the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers invited Dr.

Deming to train engineers in quality processes. By the 1950’s quality control was an

integral part of Japanese manufacturing and was adopted by all levels of workers

within an organization.

By the 1970’s the notion of total quality was being discussed. This was seen as

company-wide quality control that involves all employees from top management to the

workers, in quality control. In the next decade more non-Japanese companies were

introducing quality management procedures that based on the results seen in Japan.

The new wave of quality control became known as Total Quality Management, which

was used to describe the many quality-focused strategies and techniques that became

the center of focus for the quality movement.

Diagram below demonstrates the foundational pillars of TQM:

3.4 Concept of TQM:

The Total quality management (TQM) concepts were first developed by a number of

American consultants, including Wetware Deming, Joseph Juran, and A. V.

Feigenbaum. The TQM Philosophy greatly emerged under the Deming’s quality

management philosophies were first developed in the prior to World War II. Total

Quality Management is an approach to the art of management that originated in

Japanese industry in the 1950's and has become steadily more popular in the West

since the early 1980's. The total quality concept is based on the following steps i.e.,

“chain reaction” they are as below:

Improved Quality results to decrease costs because of less rework fewer mistakes,

fewer delays, and better use of time and materials. As a result productivity improves.

Better quality output capture to higher market share and allows the company or

organization to raise prices. This increases the company’s profitability and allows it to

stay in business. Quality output capture the market for this purpose the company

creates more jobs. It involves the problem-solving, and defining and satisfying

customer expectations.

Basic concept:

TQM is a philosophy. It enables the organization to meet the needs and rising

expectations of employees constantly. It is a strategy for survival in business.

Following are the basic requirements to implement TQM.

1) Commitment and involvement of the management.

1) Effective participation of the work force.

3) Aim for continuous improvements.

4) Treating suppliers as partners.

5) Establish performance measures for process.

6) Effective horizontal & vertical communication within the organization.

Quality control techniques, cost cutting measures were implemented.

3.5 Principles of TQM

TQM is not something that happens overnight. While there are a number of software

solutions that will help organizations quickly start to implement a quality management

system, there are some underlying philosophies that the company must integrate

throughout every department of the company and at every level of management.

Whatever other resources you use, you should adopt these seven important principles

of Total Quality Management as a foundation for all your activities.

1. Be Customer focused: Whatever you do for quality improvement, remember that

ONLY customers determine the level of quality. Whatever you do to foster quality

improvement, training employees, integrating quality into processes management,

ONLY customers determine whether your efforts were worthwhile.

2. Insure Total Employee Involvement: You must remove fear from work place,

then empower employee... you provide the proper environment. Everyone in the

company, from the workers on the line to the upper management, must realize that

they have an important part to play in ensuring high levels of quality in their

products and services. Everyone has a customer to delight, and they must all step

up and take responsibility for them.

3. Process Centered: Fundamental part of TQM is to focus on process thinking.

4. Integrated system:  All employees must know the business mission and vision.

5. Strategic and systematic approach: Strategic plan must integrate quality as core

component.

6. Continual Improvement: Using analytical, quality tools, and creative thinking to

become more efficient and effective. Total Quality Management is not something

that can be done once and then forgotten. It’s not a management “phase” that will

end after a problem has been corrected. Real improvements must occur frequently

and continually in order to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.

7. Fact Based Decision Making: Decision making must be ONLY on data, not

personal or situational thinking. The statistical analysis of engineering and

manufacturing facts is an important part of TQM. Facts and analysis provide the

basis for planning, review and performance tracking

8. Communication: Communication strategy, method and timeliness must be well

defined.

3.6 TQM. Methods:

1) Identify quality problems, analyze and find solutions.

2) Establish quality measurement and assurance program in all the departments.

3) Provide training to all. Create excellent working environment.

4) Implement 5 ‘S’ culture (good house keeping)

5) Establish quality circles through participation of employees.

6) Establish statistical process control techniques.

7) Make the design more robust, reliable and safe.

3.7 Quality audit:

It is a systematic independent & documented process for obtaining audit evidence and

evaluating objectively to determine whether the stated criteria are fulfilled.

It is conducted for deciding performance, corrective steps taken or not, follows up for

noncompliance items and continuous improvement. Hence Auditor must be well trained

in audit process, examination of documents, collection of data through record,

observations, discussion/interview etc. Auditing is done for quality system,

departments, product quality and documentation. Auditing is done in 4 stages.

1) Audit notification.

2) Audit conducted thru examination of documents, observations and interview.

3) Verification, Compliance/Noncompliance report and summarizing the observations.

4) Corrective actions proposed.

5) Follow up and close.

6) Registration.

7) Maintain the system.

3.8 TQM Implementation Approaches

You can't implement just one effective solution for planning and implementing TQM

concepts in all situations. Below we list generic models for implementing total

quality management theory:

1. Train top management on TQM principles.

2. Assess the current: Culture, customer satisfaction, and quality management

system.

3. Top management determines the core values and principles and communicates

them.

4. Develop a TQM master plan based on steps 1, 2, 3.

5. Identify and prioritize customer needs and determine products or service to meet

those needs.

6. Determine the critical processes that produce those products or services.

7. Create process improvement teams.

8. Managers support the efforts by planning, training, and providing resources to

the team.

9. Management integrates changes for improvement in daily process management.

After improvements standardization takes place.

10. Evaluate progress against plan and adjust as needed.

11. Provide constant employee awareness and feedback. Establish an

employee reward/ recognition process.
