Study Notes
Section 5: Performance and Process Improvement
- Voice of the Customer: Understanding customer needs is crucial.
- Leading Organizational Change and Excellence: Different team types (steering committees, etc.) and effective team development are essential. Analyzing and improving team performance is key.
- Aligning Rewards to Support Quality: Reward systems should align with organizational goals to support quality. Motivation theories (need, expectancy, equity, procedural justice) are important. Feedback from employees is vital. What employees say and setting up a reward system are also important.
- Education and Training in a Learning Organization: Staff knowledge and competency, quality, safety, and performance improvement training frameworks, ROI (Return on Investment) analysis, a learning organization culture, and tools (e.g., A3 tool, activity network diagram) are crucial for effective training programs.
- Evolution of Performance Improvement: Significant individuals in quality management viewed process as a series of activities to fulfill customer needs and improve quality. Early pioneers focused on process improvement methodologies and communication that fulfilled customer/client needs.
- Shewhart Cycle (PDCA): A four-step cycle for continuous improvement of quality processes (also called Deming cycle or Deming wheel). PDCA Cycle (plan-do-study-act) further refines the PDCA cycle - Plan, Do, Check, Act steps.
- PDCA (plan-do-check-act) Steps:
- Question the capacity or capability of a process, pose theories on how to improve the process, and predict measurable outcomes (Plan).
- Make changes on an experimental, pilot basis (Do).
- Measure outcomes compared to predicted outcomes (Check).
- Implement the changes on a broader scale (Act).
- Innovation: Vital for creating adaptable, agile, and future-oriented organizations.
- Teams: Essential for collaborative improvement projects. This includes team effectiveness, process champions, project owners, leadership, sharing successes, evaluating external awards, and acquiring necessary skills. Different types of teams including: temporary project, work groups, improvement, permanent, self-managed, and virtual teams.
- Continuous Improvement: Learning from successes and failures, seeking external awards, acquiring necessary skills, and continually improving organizational processes.
- Data Analytics: Tools like Pareto charts, cause-and-effect diagrams/fishbone diagrams, check-lists, flowcharts, matrix diagrams, interrelationship diagrams, supplier-input-process-output-customer (SIPOC) are used for statistical process control.
- Recognition and Quality Awards: For teams, internal customers, and successes. Recognition of internal employees and external quality awards (e.g., Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award), additional awards (e.g., Jan Thayer Pioneer Award, Beacon Award for Excellence).
- Customer Service: Internal customers are also important; this involves specific customer service standards and pledges. This includes providing specific action items for customer relations (e.g. AIDET).

- Deming: A statistician with mathematical and physics background. Deming is probably the most famous quality guru. Emphasized continuous improvement, and the idea of variations in a process ("85/15 theory"). The idea that quality conformance costs less than poor quality (waste) and rework.
- Lean: A philosophy focusing on eliminating waste in processes. The 6S approach (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) is a Lean method to organize the workplace.
- SIPOC: A tool for mapping the process, including suppliers, inputs, processes, outputs, and customers.
- Value Stream Mapping: Analysis of a process to identify value-added steps from the customer's perspective, highlighting and removing waste to refine processes.
- Force Field Analysis: A tool for identifying factors that support or hinder change (obstacles and strengths.)
- Flowcharts/Process Maps: Visual representations of process steps.
- Matrix Diagrams: Visual representations relating two items based on their relationship strength.
- Multivoting: A quick method for narrowing down a list of prioritized items.
