A Defining quality
In 1980, a television documentary in the US entitled /f Japan Can, Why can’t we? announced
that it had discovered the secret of Japanese compstitive success: quality. Japanese companies
‘were successfully dominating world markets because they had a quality system that allowed
them to produce better products than their US rivals
(WREEWIZEIMEFE, the documentary said, the Japanese had learned this quality system from US
experts such as W Edwards Deming and Joseph Juran. What US and other western businesses
had to do now was relearn the techniques of quali
management.
The central problem revolves around an understanding of what “quality” is and how far the
concept can be applied across the organization. Definitions can vary, but it is generally
accepted that the three elements which constitute quality are fitness of the design, conformity
to specification and satisfying customer needs.
Today, quality is most often defined by the reaction of the customer who buys and uses the
product. Ifthe evstomer i satisfied, 20 the theory eoes, the producti of auficent quality.
However, a strategy based on no more than meeting customer expectations is a dangerous
one, as it opens the door to rivals that may produce better products.
Financial Times
B Quality in manufacturing
Gordon Greer is head of quality at a car component company:
“The design for each component EMIBOMIES the intentions of its BESIENET. So conformity to
specification means putting these intentions into practice when we make the components. Put
another way, this is elimination of variation.
‘We pay great attention to accuracy. The components must be made to very strict tolerances
‘the HHESSUFEMIENES must be not more or less than particular limits to within a fraction of a
millimeter.”
C Quality in services
Serena Togliatti is customer relations manager at a large bank:
“In services, there is a parallel situation to one in manufacturing. The service received by the
customer must be exactly what is planned and intended, and annoying mistakes, for example
in accounts, must be avoided.BUMS Ca
From the customer's point of view, quality could be defined in terms of customer approval,
that is, recognition that we are satisfying customer needs and customer expectations. And if
we exceed those expectations, there may even be customer delight.”
