Internal customer: Other divisions of the company
that receive the processed product.
What is a product?

organization. It may be goods (e.g. automobiles,

The Quality Gurus (cont’d)
Walter A. Shewhart
Statistician at Bell Laboratories
Developed statistical control process methods to distinguish
between random and nonrandom variation in industrial
processes to keep processes under control.
Developed the “plan-do-check-act” (PDCA) cycle that
emphasizes the need for continuous improvement.
Strongly influenced Deming and Juran.

The Quality Gurus (cont’d)
W. Edwards Deming
Advocated Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Methods which signal shifts in a process that will likely
lead to products and/or services not meeting
customer requirements.
Emphasized an overall organizational approach to
managing quality.
Demonstrated that quality products are less costly
than poor quality products.
Identified 14 points critical for improving quality.
The Deming Prize
Highest award for industrial excellence in Japan.
Deming’s 14-Point Program for Improving Quality
6. Institute training
7. Teach and institute leadership.
8. Drive out fear. Create an environment of innovation.
9. Optimize the team efforts towards the aims and purposes
of the company.
10. Eliminate exhortations for the workforce.
11. Eliminate numerical quotas for production.
12. Remove the barriers that rob pride of workmanship.
13. Encourage learning and self-improvement.
14. Take action to accomplish the transformation.
34 The Deming philosophy
Joseph M. Juran
Emphasized the importance of producing quality
products through an approach focused on quality
planning, control, and improvement.
Defined product quality as “fitness for use” as viewed
by the customer in:
Quality of design • Quality of conformance
Availability • Safety • Field use
Categorized the cost of quality as:
Cost of prevention
Cost of detection/appraisal
Cost of failure
37 The Juran philosophy
Quality Trilogy –
1. Quality planning: Process of preparing to meet
quality goals. Involves understanding customer
needs and developing product features.
2. Quality control: Process of meeting quality goals
during operations. Control parameters. Measuring
the deviation and taking action.
3. Quality improvement: Process for breaking through
to unprecedented levels of performance. Identify
areas of improvement and get the right people to
bring about the change.
The Quality Gurus (cont’d)
Armand Feigenbaum
Proposed the concept of “total quality control,”
making quality everyone’s responsibility.
Stressed interdepartmental communication.
Emphasized careful measurement and report
of quality costs
Philip Crosby
Preached that “quality is free.”
Believed that an organization can reduce overall
costs by improving the overall quality of its
processes.
40 The Crosby philosophy
Absolute’s of Management
Quality means conformance to requirements not elegance.
There is no such thing as quality problem.
There is no such thing as economics of quality: it is always
cheaper to do the job right the first time.
The only performance measurement is the cost of quality:
the cost of non-conformance.
Basic Elements of Improvement
Determination (commitment by the top management)
Education (of the employees towards Zero Defects (ZD))
Implementation (of the organizational processes towards
ZD)
The Quality Gurus (cont’d)
Genichi Taguchi
Emphasized the minimization of variation.
Concerned with the cost of quality to
society.
Extended Juran’s concept of external failure.
Kaoru Ishikawa
Developed problem-solving tools such as the
cause-and-effect (fishbone) diagram.
Called the father of quality circles.

Cost of Quality
The Cost of Quality
Cost of Quality
Framework for identifying quality
components that are related to producing
both high quality products and low quality
components, with the goal of minimizing
the total cost of quality.
Costs of poor quality:
Detection/appraisal costs
Internal failure costs
External failure costs
The Cost of Quality (Juran’s
Model)
Cost Category
Cost of prevention Costs associated with the development of
programs to prevent defectives from
occurring in the first place
Cost of detection/ Costs associated with the test and
appraisal inspection of subassemblies and products
after they have been made.
Cost of failure Costs associated with the failure of a
defective product.
Internal failure costs—producing
defective products that are identified
before shipment.
External failure costs—producing
defective products that are delivered to
the customer.
The Cost of Quality (Cont.)
“Costs” of Quality
Quality Cost Management shows how increased
Prevention Costs reduce the Total Quality Costs.
