Service quality
Performance excellence

Manufacturing quality
Key Idea
As consumer expectations have risen, a focus on quality has permeated other key sectors of the economy, most notably health care, education, not-for-profits, and government.
Systems Thinking
A system is a set of functions or activities within an organization that work together for the aim of the organization. Subsystems of an organization are linked together as internal customers and suppliers. A systems perspective acknowledges the importance of the interactions of subsystems, not the actions of them individually.
Key Idea
Successful management relies on a systems perspective, one of the most important elements of total quality.

Marketing
and sales Product design and engineering Purchasing and receiving Production planning and scheduling Manufacturing and assembly Tool engineering
Manufacturing Systems (2 of 2)
Industrial
engineering and process
design Finished goods inspection and test Packaging, shipping, and warehousing Installation and service
Key Idea
Traditional quality assurance systems in manufacturing focus primarily on technical issues such as equipment reliability, inspection, defect measurement, and process control.
Relationships in a Typical Manufacturing System (Fig.2.1)
Quality in Marketing
Marketing and sales personnel are responsible for determining the needs and expectations of consumers.
10
Quality in Product Design

Product design and engineering functions develop technical specifications for products and production processes to meet the requirements determined by the marketing function.

Quality in Purchasing
A purchasing agent should not simply be responsible for low-cost procurement, but should maintain a clear focus on the quality of purchased goods and materials.
12
Quality in Production Planning & Scheduling

Poor quality often results from time pressures caused by insufficient planning and scheduling.
13
Quality in Manufacturing and Assembly

Both technology and people are essential to high-quality manufacturing.
14
Quality in Production Planning & Scheduling

Poor quality often results from time pressures caused by insufficient planning and scheduling.
15
Quality in Process Design

Manufacturing processes must be capable of producing output that meets specifications consistently.
16
Quality in Finished Goods Inspection and Testing

The purposes of final product inspection are to judge the quality of manufacturing, to discover and help to resolve production problems that may arise, and to ensure that no defective items reach the customer.
17
Quality in Installation and Service

Service after the sale is one of the most important factors in establishing customer perception of quality and customer loyalty.

21
Key Idea
The American Management Association estimates that the average company loses as many as 35 percent of its customers each year, and that about twothirds of these are lost because of poor customer service.
22
Critical Differences Between Service and Manufacturing (1 of 2)

Customer
needs and performance standards are more difficult to identify and measure Services requires a higher degree of customization Output is intangible
23
Critical Differences Between Service and Manufacturing (2 of 2)

Services
are produced and consumed simultaneously Customers are often involved in actual process Services are more labor-intensive than manufacturing Services handle large numbers of transactions
24
Key Idea
These differences make it difficult for many service organizations to apply total quality principles, and foster misguided perceptions that quality management cannot be effectively accomplished in services.
25
Components of Service System Quality

Employees Information
technology
26
Key Idea
Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that when service employee job satisfaction is high, customer satisfaction is high, and that when job satisfaction is low, customer satisfaction is low.
27
Key Idea
Information technology is essential for quality in modern service organizations because of the high volumes of information they must process and because customers demand service at ever-increasing speeds.
