Elements of TQM

1. Foundation: (Ethics, Integrity and Trust.) – TQM is built on the foundation of ethic integrity and trust. It fosters openness, fairness and sincerity and allows involvement by everyone. – Ethic is discipline concerned with good or bad in any situation. It is a two-faceted subject represented by organizational and individual ethics. Organizational ethic establishes a business code of ethics that outlines guidelines that all employees are adhere to in the performance of their work. Individual ethics includes personal rights or wrongs.

Elements of TQM 1. Foundation: (Ethics, Integrity and Trust.) – Integrity implies honesty, morals, values, fairness and adherence to the facts and sincerity. The characteristic is what customers expect and deserve to receive. People see the opposite of integrity as duplicity. – TQM never work in an atmosphere of duplicity. Trust is a by-product of integrity and ethic conduct. Without trust frame work of TQM cannot be built. Trust encourages full participation of all the members. It builds the cooperative environment essential for TQM.

Supervisors are solely responsible for implementing TQM within their department, and teaching their employee the philosophies of TQM. – To become successful in business, team work is a important element of TQM.

15
Elements of TQM 2. Building Bricks: (Training, Team Work and Leadership.) – Leadership is one of the important elements of TQM. It appears everywhere in organization. A supervisor must understand TQM, believe in it and then demonstrate their belief and commitment through their daily practices of TQM. – The supervisor makes sure that strategies, philosophies, values, and goals are transmitted down throughout the organization to focus clarity and direction. A key point is that TQM has to introduced and led by top Management.
16
Elements of TQM 3. Binding Mortar: (Communication) – Communication binds everything together. Starting from foundation to roof of TOM house everything is bound by the communication. It acts as an essential link between all the elements of TOM. Communication means a common understanding of ideas between sender and receiver. – The success of TQM demands communication with and among all the organization members, supplies and customers. Supervisors must keep open forum where employees can send and receive information about the TQM process. Communication coupled with the sharing of correct information is vital.
17
Elements of TQM 3. Binding Mortar: (Communication) – There are different ways of communication like downward, upward, and parallel. Downward communication is the dominant form of communication in any organization. By this type of communication supervisors are able to communicate with employees about TQM. – In upward communication, the lower levels of employees arc able to provide suggestions to upper management of the influence of TQM. As employees provide insight and constructive criticism, supervisors must listen effectively to correct the situation that comes through the use of TQM.

Elements of TQM 4. Roof: (Recognition) – Recognition is the last element in the entire TQM system. It should be provided for both suggestions and achievements for teams as well as individuals. Employees strive to receive recognition for themselves and their teams. – Detection and recognition is the most import job of a supervisor. As people are recognized, there can be huge changes in self-esteem, productivity, quality and the amount of effort exhorted to the task at hand. Recognition comes in its best form when it is immediately following an action that an employee has performed.
19
Aspect of TQM What characterizes TQM is the focus on identifying root cause of quality problems and correcting them at the source. as opposed to inspecting the product after it has been made. Not only those TQM encompasses the entire organization, but it stresses the quality is customer driven. TQM attempts to embed quality in every aspect of the organization. It is concerned with technical aspects of quality as well as the involvement of people in quality, such as customer company employees and suppliers.

Aspect of TQM Customer Focus: – The first and overriding feature of TQM is the company’s focus on its customers. Quality is defined as meeting or exceeding customer satisfactions. – The goal is to first identify and then meet customer needs. TQM recognized that a perfectly produced product has little value if it is not what the customer wants. Therefore, we can say that quality is customer driven.
21
Aspect of TQM Continuous Improvement: – Another concept of the TQM philosophy is the focus on continuous improvement. Traditional systems operated on the assumption that once the company achieved a certain level of quality, it was successful and needed no further improvements. – Traditionally, change for American managers involves large magnitudes, such as major organizational restructuring. The Japanese, on other hand, believe that the best and most lasting changes come from gradual improvement this is called as kaizen by the Japanese.
22
Aspect of TQM Employee Empowerment: – Part of the TQM philosophy is to empower all employees to seek out quality problems and correct them. With the old concept of quality, employees were afraid to identify problems for fear that they would be reprimanded. – Often poor quality was passed on to someone else, in order to make it someone else’s problem. The new concept of quality, TQM, provided incentives for employees to identify quality problems. Employees are rewarded for uncovering quality problems, not punished.
23
Aspect of TQM Use of Quality tools: – TQM places great deal of responsibility on all workers. If employees are to identify and correct quality problems they need proper training. – They need to understand how to as quality by using a variety of quality control toots, how to interpret findings, and how to correct problems. – There are seven different quality tools like Flow Charts, Cause and effect Diagram, Scatter diagram etc.
24
Components of TQM Mistake-Proofing: – Preventing mistakes (defects) from occurring (Poka-yoke) Inspection: – Where mistakes can’t be absolutely prevented detecting team early to prevent them being passed down the value added chain Stop in Time: – Wherever mistakes recur, stopping production until the process can be corrected, to prevent the production from more defects
25
TQM Culture TQM encourage participation amongst production floor workers and managers. There is no single theoretical formalization of total quality. Quality gurus like Deming, Ishikawa, and Juran provide the core assumptions, as a “Discipline and philosophy of management which institutionalize planned and continuous improvement and assumes that quality is the outcome of all activities that takes place within an organization; that all functions and all employees have to participate in the improvement process
26
