Theoretical Basis of the Quality Movement Adapted from Ch. 1 and 2 from Statistical Quality Design and Control Authors: Devor, Chang and Sutherland Presented by Dr. Joan Burtner, Certified Quality Engineer Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management Mercer University

Brief Quality Time Line (before 1950) Late 1800’s Taylorism Scientific Management 1920’s Shewhart Statistical approach to process variation Control charts 1930’s Dodge and Romig AQL Acceptance Sampling ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Brief Quality Time Line (1950 – 2000) 1950’s Deming Top Management Responsibility Statistically-based approach to quality 1970’s Total Quality Management 1980’s Deming, Juran, Ishikawa and Taguchi are influential US industrial leaders begin to embrace quality Push quality upstream into engineering design Six Sigma Seven basic quality tools 1990’s Institutionalization of quality throughout the enterprise Global marketplace – international standards (ISO) Lean Manufacturing ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 1. Create constancy of purpose for the improvement of production or service  Improve the product or service. Plan for the future  Make a long-term commitment to quality  Strategies required to make profits in this quarter only are different from those needed to keep the company in business for the next 20 or 30 years ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 2. Adopt the new philosophy  New Philosophy: We cannot accept the levels of errors that could be tolerated in the past.  Only management is in the position to do something about the vast majority of errors. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 3. Cease dependence on mass inspection for quality control.  Instead, require statistical evidence that quality is built in. You can’t improve quality through inspection.  100% inspection is like planning for defects.  In some cases, final inspection may still be required.

Deming’s Fourteen Points 4. End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag alone.  Improve the quality of incoming material.  Cultivate long term relationships with suppliers.  Reduce the number of suppliers. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 5. Improve constantly & forever the system of production & service.  Continual reduction of waste  Continual improvement of quality (adaptation of Deming cycle)  Work on the process instead of the product. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 6. Institute more through, better job- related training (modern methods of training).  Company supported (money and time)  Training management about the company, training about the customer’s needs, proper training for job. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 7. Adopt and institute leadership.  Supervisor’s job should be to coach workers, assist them in solving problems, not meeting quotas.  Management must take immediate action on problems of defective parts, lack of maintenance on machines, etc. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 8. Drive Out Fear  Eliminate fear in the workplace  Fear will disappear as management improves and as employees develop confidence in management. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 9. Break down barriers between staff areas.  Eliminate the “Over the wall” mentality.  Coordinated effort, teamwork, teams of people in design, engineering, production, & sales. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 10. Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the workforce.  Need road map to improvement, better materials & equipment .  The only goals that make sense are internal goals (personal motivation). ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 11. Eliminate numerical quotas.  Deming gives no grades.  Eliminate work standards a) Impossible for some, too easy for others, no clues for how to improve b) Replace with leadership.  The only permissible number is a plain statement of fact for survival. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 12. Remove barriers to pride in workmanship.  Involve employees at all levels in the improvement process.  Supply workers with the proper tools, methods, materials. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 13. Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement for everyone.  Educated people learn new things more easily, are more easily trained for new job.  People, like the process, should be continuously improving. ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering

Deming’s Fourteen Points 14. Take action to accomplish the transformation. Create a management structure that supports these principles. Top-down approach Concurrent education and application Willingness to change the system Common mission and goals ISE 428 ETM 591 Dr. Joan Burtner, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering
