Psychology

6. Systems Most organizational processes are cross-functional
Parts of a system must work together
Every system must have a purpose
Management must optimize the system as a whole
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing

7. Variation
Many sources of uncontrollable variation exist in any process
Excessive variation results in product failures, unhappy customers, and unnecessary costs
Statistical methods can be used to identify and quantify variation to help understand it and lead to improvements

8. Theory of Knowledge Knowledge is not possible without theory
Experience alone does not establish a theory, it only describes
Theory shows cause-and-effect relationships that can be used for prediction

9. Psychology
People are motivated intrinsically and extrinsically; intrinsic motivation is the most powerful
Fear is demotivating
Managers should develop pride and joy in work

12. Juran’s Quality Trilogy
Quality planning
Quality control
Quality improvement
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing

13. Key Idea
Juran proposed a simple definition of quality: “fitness for use.” This definition of quality suggests that it should be viewed from both external and internal perspectives; that is, quality is related to “(1) product performance that results in customer satisfaction; (2) freedom from product deficiencies, which avoids customer dissatisfaction.”

14. Quality is free . . . Phillip B. Crosby
“Quality is free. It’s not a gift, but it is free. What costs money are the unquality things -- all the actions that involve not doing jobs right the first time.”
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing

15. Philip B. Crosby Absolutes of Quality Management:
Quality means conformance to requirements
Problems are functional in nature
There is no optimum level of defects
Cost of quality is the only useful measurement
Zero defects is the only performance standard

16. Kaoru Ishikawa Instrumental in developing Japanese quality strategy
Influenced participative approaches involving all workers
Advocated the use of simple visual tools and statistical techniques
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing

17. Genichi Taguchi
Pioneered a new perspective on quality based on the economic value of being on target and reducing variation and dispelling the traditional view of conformance to specifications:
No Loss

19. The Baldrige Framework – A Systems Perspective
Organizational Profile:
Environment, Relationships, and Challenges 2
Strategic Planning 5
Human Resource Focus
The framework is the 30,000 foot view of the Criteria. [Note: Education and Health Care Criteria have slightly different nomenclature.]
The building blocks, or Categories, are essential -- performance in the Baldrige categories is the cost of entry -- but excellence in the linkages will be the mark of competitive leadership. The arrows point to excellence.
The umbrella over strategy and action plans:
It is the set of customer and market focused company-level requirements.
These are derived from short- and long-term planning.
They are the things that must be done well for the strategy to succeed.
The action plans “bring the strategy to life.”
They guide overall resource decisions.
They drive the alignment of measures for all work units to ensure customer satisfaction and market success.
The system:
The leadership triad -- leadership, strategic planning, customer & market focus -- emphasizes the importance of a leadership focus on strategy and customers.
The results triad is HR focus, process management, and business results. Its focus is on the employees and key processes that accomplish the work of the organization that yields results.
ALL company actions point toward results.
The large arrow in the center connects the leadership and results triads -- a critical linkage for company success -- and shows the role leaders must play in driving results improvement.
Information and analysis are critical to a fact-based system; they are the foundation for the performance management system. 7

20. Criteria Evolution (1 of 2)
From quality assurance and strategic quality planning to a focus on process management and overall strategic planning
From a focus on current customers to a focus on current and future customers and markets
From human resource utilization to human resource development and management
From supplier quality to supplier partnerships
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing

21. Criteria Evolution (2 of 2)
From individual quality improvement activities to cycles of evaluation and improvement in all key areas
From data analysis of quality efforts to an aggregate, integrated organizational level review of key company data
From results that focus on limited financial performance to a focus on a composite of business results, including customer satisfaction and financial, product, service, and strategic performance
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing

22. Key Idea
Approaches that organizations use to address the Baldrige criteria requirements need not be formal or complex, and can easily be implemented by small businesses.

24. Boeing Airlift & Tanker Programs – 1998 recipient
Self Assessment
A primary goal of the Baldrige program is to encourage many organizations to improve on their own by equipping them with a standard template for measuring their performance and their progress toward performance excellence.
The Baldrige National Quality Program is more than an Award program. A major purpose of the Criteria is to provide a framework organizations can use for self-assessment.
To encourage self-assessment, the Program makes available the materials to accomplish Baldrige assessments in-house. Materials include the Criteria, scoring guidelines, a structure for identifying organizational strengths and opportunities for improvement, and a case study packet that demonstrates the complete process.

25. Key Idea
Although different, Baldrige and Six Sigma are highly compatible and can each have a place in the management system of a successful organization.

27. ISO 9000:2000
Quality system standards adopted by International Organization for Standardization in 1987; revised in 1994 and 2000
Used as rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics to ensure that materials, products, processes, and services are fit for their purpose (document what you do and then do as you documented).

28. Objectives of ISO Standards
Achieve, maintain, and continuously improve product quality
Improve quality of operations to continually meet customers’ and stakeholders’ needs
Provide confidence to internal management and other employees that quality system requirements are being fulfilled
Provide confidence to customers and other stakeholders that quality requirements are being achieved
MANAGING FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE, 7e, © 2008 Thomson Higher Education Publishing

29. Key Idea
ISO 9000 provides a set of good basic practices for initiating a quality system, and is an excellent starting point for companies with no formal quality assurance program.
