Key Contributors to Quality Management
Deming
A professor of statistics in 1940s. Went to Japan after WWII to assist Japanese in improving quality and productivity.
Japanese established Deming prize for quality. Deming was unknown in his home country until 80s
He developed a famous list of 14 points he believed were key for quality in organizations.
His message was; System is the cause for inefficiency and poor quality not employees. It is management’s responsibility to improve the system.
The essence of his 14 points are; Constancy of purpose, continuous improvement, profound knowledge.
Deming : Profound Knowledge
Profound knowledge is; appreciation for the system, theory of variation, theory of knowledge, and psychology.
Appreciation for the system;.Every one in the organization working to achieve overall optimization. Management most eliminate internal competition.
Theory of Variation; Variation reduction is an important key to quality. There are two types of variations; random and correctable. We should concentrate on the later.
Theory of Knowledge; Knowledge comes from theory. Learning can not occur in an organization without a theory of knowledge.
Psychology; Workers want to create and learn. Management’s greatest challenge is to motivate workers to contribute their common effort to achieve a common goal.
Deming’s 14 Points
1.Constancy of purpose toward improvement.2.We can no longer live with defects and delays.3.Forget mass inspection, rely on statistical process control (SPC).4. Eliminate unqualified suppliers. Not just price, but Price + quality.5.Work continually on the system, identify problems, resolve them.6.Institute modern methods of training on jobs.7.Responsibility of foremen is not productivity but quality, which in turn improves productivity. Management takes immediate action on foremen requests regarding improvement in elements of the system.8.Drive out fear, so that every one may work effectively for the company.9.Break down barriers between departments. Motivate team work.10.Do not ask for more productivity, without providing methods.11.Eliminate work standards that prescribe numerical quotas.12.Break down barriers between hourly and permanent workers.13.Institute a vigorous program for education and retraining.14.Top management will push every day on the above 13 points.
Juran
He made his first trip to Japan after publication of his Quality Control Handbook in 1951.His method is close to that of Deming, but with two main differences. 1) Management of quality is not very difficult. 2) He places less emphasize on SPC. His initiatives; Quality begins by knowing what customer wants. Quality is fitness-for use.Almost 80% of quality defects can be controlled by commitment of management to continuos improvement.Quality management is 1) quality planning, 2) quality control, and 3) quality improvement.He showed high cost of low quality, and potentials of cost reduction through quality improvement.

Deming Prize
• ISO Series
• Set of international standards on quality management and Quality assurance that are critical to international business

International Organization for Standardization
• When an organization feels that its quality system is good enough, it may ask for assessment.
• The audit begins with a review of the company's quality manual. The audit team checks to see that the documented quality system meets the requirement of ISO 9000 and that the organization is practicing what is documented.
• When the registrar is satisfied with the recommendation of the audit team, it issues a registration document to the company.
ISO 9000 Registration Process
ISO 9000 Helps companies determine which standard of ISO 9001, 9002, and 9003 applies
ISO 9001 Outlines guidelines for companies that engaged in design, development, production, installation,
and servicing of products or serviceISO 9002 Similar to 9001, but excludes companies engaged in design and developmentISO 9003 Covers companies engaged in final inspection and testingISO 9004 The guidelines for applying the elements of the
