Today, they’re cutting prices because consumers are demanding it. The recent global meltdown and recession has put great pressure on the organizations to produce the best quality products at the most affordable prices. Nano has already hit the market. The car has redefined the meaning of quality. It is not just a car—it is the automobile revolution. Novatium has come out with a PC for just Rs 3,000. Real estate now promises to give the best quality homes at previously unimagined prices. Telecom companies are reducing the cost of talk time every day. The price of white goods is coming down every day. In the economy, struggling to come out of the recession, low price rules. The challenge is not just to produce great quality, but to provide the best quality in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. This book will enable organizations to maximize their quality of products and services through application of various quality improvement tools and minimize the cost by adoption of many proven techniques. It is important to know that quality is a “disciplined approach” and while lot of attention is paid to the technical side of quality, the human side of quality should not be forgotten. Quality is a passion to make a valuable contribution to the world we live in. We are also in a world where today’s breakthrough product is tomorrow’s undifferentiated ­commodity. Innovation will drive the economy in the future and the companies have to play a proactive rule. Organizations must establish innovation as a mainstream business process with defined people, responsibilities and targets, failing which innovation will be rhetoric (lucky accident). Quality is completely linked to the present and the future needs of the customers, and hence innovation has become integral to quality—two sides of the same coin. In this world of fast-changing expectations, innovation is the only insurance against irrelevance and the antidote to margin crushing competition. Besides providing the best quality at the most affordable prices, the companies will have to innovate new products, services, business models, sources of raw materials and delivery mechanisms. They must understand unmet customer needs and have the ability of translating unperceived and unarticulated needs of the customer into development of new products and services in the fastest possible time. Time is of essence and the companies must reduce their innovation cycle time to be present in the market before the competition. Innovation is the only way for high growth and sustainable competitive advantages. This book on quality covers an extensive compilation of topics. I am sure the students of management and engineering, academicians and organizations will benefit a great deal from the extensive topics of Kaizen, breakthrough improvements, value analysis, TRIZ mechanism, TPM, quality management system and quality models given in this book. I wish the readers great success in their quality and innovation journey through the third edition of this rich treasure of quality by Ms. Poornima Charantimath. Pravin Rajpal Indian Management Expert, FICCI Quality Forum www.pravinrajpal.com A01_TOTAL-QUALITY-M03_SE_XXXX_FM.indd 12 11/10/2016 4:58:54 PM Preface Total quality management (TQM) is an approach to business that looks critically at the products and services a company provides in relation to the processes it employs to create them.

In simple terms, it provides the basis for management systems. These principles collectively form a basis for performance improvement and organizational excellence. These principles have been discussed in detail in Chapter 3. Any organization can benefit from implementing ISO 9001, as its requirements are underpinned by the following eight universal management principles: xvi •• Customer-focused organization •• Leadership •• Involvement of people •• Ensuring a process approach •• Systematic approach to management •• Factual approach to decision making •• Mutually beneficial supplier relations •• Continuous improvement Preface The discussion forum tests students’ understanding of key concepts and facilitates interaction and knowledge sharing. The adoption of a QMS should be a strategic decision of an organization. Large and even small companies have gained great benefits from using QMS by discovering cost and efficiency savings. DISCUSSION FORUM 1. What is ISO? 2. How many times were the standards revised? 3. Which is the latest version of ISO and what are the major changes it introduces? 4. What are the quality management principles on which the QMS standards are based? 5. What are the benefits of ISO certification? 6.

Indices formed thus are affected by inflation, which of course is a disadvantage. Number bases are reported in terms of unit ratio, which is the ratio of the cost of quality per unit produced (manufacturing) or provided (service). Case Study The summary recapitulates the main points discussed in the chapter. Unit Ratio = Total Quality Cost/Units Produced Quality SUMMARY is King “While a top manager should be the ideal customer, he should also be the greatest critic of his company’s has many different definitions, ranging from the conventional to those products. •If The the term CEOquality compromises, or is only looking at the margins, then even if he is successful, the that are strategic.

However, managers —Ratan Tata, Chairman, competing in the fierce international market are increasingly concerned with the strategicTata Group definition of quality—meeting customer requirements. • David Garvin identified five major approaches to defining quality: The transcendent Company approach, the product-based approach, the user-based approach, the manufacturing- based approach and the value-based approach. Tata Motors, previously known as Tata Engineering and Locomotive Co Ltd (TELCO), • Quality of goods and services can provide an organization with competitive edge. The role is one of the largest companies in the Tata Group, and one of India’s largest business of quality needs no emphasis for a firm because it is the key to success in business to achieve customer satisfaction. Today “quality” is the watchword for the survival and growth of any organization in the global business environment. Quality increases profits in addition to enhancing the image of the company. • An organization that is committed to quality must examine quality at three levels: organizational level, process level and the performer/job level/task/design level. • Quality of design, quality M01_TOTAL-QUALITY-M03_SE_XXXX_CH01.indd 25 of conformance and quality of performance are required to produce goods and services of consistent quality and costs. • The five paradigms of quality are custom-craft paradigm, mass production paradigm, statistical quality control paradigm, total quality management paradigm and techno-craft paradigm • David Garvin identified eight dimensions of product quality—performance, features, reliability, conformance, durability, serviceability, aesthetics and perceived quality. SERVQUAL dimensions of service quality are reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy and responsiveness • Small ‘q’—the symbol for a product focus on quality. Big Q—the symbol for product, process and customer focus. 10/25/2016 2:03:50 PM • Fitness for use is achieved through two components: product features and freedom from deficiencies. There are four categories of quality costs. The first two are prevention and appraisal costs, which are incurred by a company in attempting to improve quality. The last two costs are internal and external failure costs, which are the costs of quality failures that the company wishes to prevent. • The costs associated with poor quality are due to both sporadic and chronic quality problems. A sporadic problem is a sudden, adverse change in the status quo, which requires remedy through restoring the status quo. A chronic problem is a long-standing adverse situation, which requires remedy through changing the status quo.

Customer Relationship Management at Bharti 200 Bharti Tele-ventures is one of India’s leading private sector telecom operators. Its cellular business, Airtel, is a leading mobile telephony brand. Like any telecom organization, Bharti considers information technology as a key business enabler. According to Amrita Gangotra, vice-president of Information Technology at Bharti, IT works as a support system as well as a key business driver. The company has a wide area network (WAN) in place with a mix of leased lines and E1 and E3 lines. The company extends different applications to its dealers and partners through its extranet. The company also has procured a range of high-end servers from Sun and HP. The company also has a storage area network (SAN) in place because its daily storage requirements are in tetrabytes.
