Introduction to Quality
•Concept of Quality & Quality Systems •Statistical Quality Control (x-OM 2) •TQM and tools for TQM, six sigma

Quality Management • What does the term quality mean? • Quality is the ability of a product or service to consistently meet or exceed customer expectations.

Dimensions of Quality
• Performance - main characteristics of the product/service • A h i - appearance, f l smell, taste Aesthetics feel, ll • Special features - extra characteristics • Conformance - how well product/service conforms to customer’s expectations • Safety - Risk of injury • Reliability - consistency of performance

Dimensions of Quality (Cont’d) • Durability - useful life of the
product/service

• Perceived Quality - indirect evaluation of
quality (e.g. reputation)

• Service after sale - handling of customer complaints or checking on customer satisfaction • Robustness- The ability to perform under all conditions

Examples of Quality Dimensions
Dimension
1. Performance

(Product) Automobile
Everything works, fit & finish Ride, handling, grade of materials used Interior design, soft touch

(Service) Auto Repair
All work done, at agreed price Friendliness, courtesy, Competency, quickness Clean work/waiting area

2. Aesthetics

3. Special features Gauge/control placement Location, call when ready Convenience Cellular phone, CD Computer diagnostics High tech player 4. Safety Antilock brakes, airbags Separate waiting area

The Consequences of Poor Quality • Loss of business, Liability, Productivity, Costs Costs f Q lit C t of Quality
Failure Costs - costs incurred by defective parts/products or faulty services. Internal Failure Costs Costs incurred to fix problems that are detected before the product/service is delivered to the customer. customer External Failure Costs All costs incurred to fix problems that are detected after the product/service is delivered to the customer.

Costs of Quality (continued)
• Appraisal Costs – All product and/or service inspection costs. • Prevention Costs – All TQ training, TQ planning, customer assessment, process control, and quality improvement costs to prevent defects from occurring

Evolution of a Standard • Draft International Standard (DIS) International Standard drafted and adopted by Technical Committee • ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) Accepted for publication if it is approved by 50% of the member • ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) Accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3rd of the member ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after 3 years. It is again reviewed after 6 years. • ISO International Standards

Quality Management Systems Standards ISO defined QMS requirements in 1987 as 9000 series of standards. 20 main clauses addressing different functions of an organisation
ISO 9001 For design responsible organisations ISO 9002 Design control 4.4 excluded ISO 9003 For inspection & Testing

ISO 9001 Standard Revisions
As per rules of ISO, all standards are to be reviewed every 5 years. First revision of standard took place in 1994. However, because of inadequate experience in usage of these standards, 1994 revision of the standard was limited in h i character. B i structure of th standards was retained t Basic t t f the t d d t i d and the revision was mainly aimed to bring greater clarity in requirements for ease of implementation

Need for Second Revision
ISO-9000 standards have been used by hundreds of thousands of companies of different types and sizes during last decade. During its usage certain major inadequacies have been observed.

BK DAS

Need for Second Revision
A The structure of ISO 9001:1994 is heavily oriented towards manufacturing sector, making it difficult for application to service sector and other types of organizations.

B It was a stand alone document without any relationship with current quality management practices and business operations, causing confusion and conflict with existing quality control practices.

C Although there was a higher level standard in the shape of ISO-9004, there was no alignment between the two standards due to which ISO-9004 standard was largely ignored by the companies.
BK DAS

Need for Second Revision
D There was over emphasis on documentation which have been specified for almost all requirements making it a bureaucratic system.

E Customer relationship management has been given inadequate attention limited to contract review. Due to this customers of most of certified companies have not felt significant change after certification.

F Basically it has been a consistency standard at the existing level of quality. Need for continuous quality improvement has not been incorporated. This necessitated adoption of other quality improvement methodologies causing diffusion of quality management efforts.
BK DAS

Need for Second Revision
G Compliance to the standard required various activities by different departments, but need for a proper vertical and horizontal communication system for proper coordination was not addressed. H There were three certifiable standards in the form of ISO-9001, ISO9002 and ISO-9003. For some businesses particularly in services sector it was difficult to determine which standard would apply. ISO-9003 was literally ignored because it was focussed only to inspection and test, the concept which has become obsolete in the light of new quality philosophy.

I

Although standard called for establishment of a documented quality system, its deployment in different areas and its effectiveness, but no basis was provided against which effectiveness of quality system could be assessed.
BK DAS

Application to Organizations
There is only one requirement standard ISO-9001-2000, in stead of ISO-9001, ISO-9002 and ISO-9003 in the 1994 version. version Since all requirements may not apply to different organizations, the new standard permits exclusion of some requirements which have to be justified to the satisfaction of certification bodies. This provision enables it to cope with wide spectrum of organizations and activities.
