Quality Management

“It costs a lot to produce a bad product.
It costs a lot to produce a bad product.”

Norman Augustine

Cost of quality
1. Prevention costs
2. Appraisal costs
3. Internal failure costs
4. External failure costs
5. Opportunity costs
What is quality management all about?
Try to manage all aspects of the organization
in order to excel in all dimensions that are
important to “customers”
Two aspects of quality:
features: more features that meet customer needs
= higher quality
freedom from trouble: fewer defects = higher
quality
The Quality Gurus – Edward Deming
1900-1993
1986
Quality is
“uniformity and
dependability”
Focus on SPC
and statistical
tools
“14 Points” for
management
PDCA method
The Quality Gurus – Joseph Juran
1904 - 2008
1951
Quality is
“fitness for use”
Pareto Principle
Cost of Quality
General
management
approach as well
as statistics
History: how did we get here…
• Deming and Juran outlined the principles of Quality
Management.
• Tai-ichi Ohno applies them in Toyota Motors Corp.
• Japan has its National Quality Award (1951).
• U.S. and European firms begin to implement
Quality Management programs (1980’s).
• U.S. establishes the Malcolm Baldridge National
Quality Award (1987).
• Today, quality is an imperative for any business.
What does Total Quality Management encompass?
TQM is a management philosophy:
• continuous improvement
• leadership development
• partnership development

Six Sigma Quality
• A philosophy and set of methods companies use to
eliminate defects in their products and processes
• Seeks to reduce variation in the processes that lead to
product defects
• The name “six sigma” refers to the variation that
exists within plus or minus six standard deviations of
the process outputs

Case: shortening telephone waiting time…
• A bank is employing a call answering service
• The main goal in terms of quality is “zero waiting time”
- customers get a bad impression
- company vision to be friendly and easy access
• The question is how to analyze the situation and improve quality

Improvement
In general, how can we monitor quality…?
1. Assignable variation: we can assess the cause
2. Common variation: variation that may not be possible to
correct (random variation, random noise)
By observing
variation in
output measures!
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Every output measure has a target value and a level of
“acceptable” variation (upper and lower tolerance limits)
SPC uses samples from output measures to estimate the
mean and the variation (standard deviation)
Example
We want beer bottles to be filled with 12 FL OZ ± 0.05 FL OZ
Question:
How do we define the output measures?
In order to measure variation we need…
The average (mean) of the observations:

Capability Index (Cpk)
It shows how well the performance measure

Another way of writing this is to calculate the capability index:
Accuracy and Consistency
We say that a process is accurate if its mean is close to
the target T.
We say that a process is consistent if its standard deviation
is low.

Example
Consider the capability of a process that puts
pressurized grease in an aerosol can. The design
specs call for an average of 60 pounds per square
inch (psi) of pressure in each can with an upper
tolerance limit of 65psi and a lower tolerance limit
of 55psi. A sample is taken from production and it
is found that the cans average 61psi with a standard
deviation of 2psi.
1. Is the process capable at the 3 level?
2. What is the probability of producing a defect?

LTL = 55 UTL = 65  = 2

No, the process is not capable at the 3 level.
Solution
P(defect) = P(X<55) + P(X>65)
=P(X<55) + 1 – P(X<65)
=P(Z<(55-61)/2) + 1 – P(Z<(65-61)/2)
=P(Z<-3) + 1 – P(Z<2)
=G(-3)+1-G(2)
=0.00135 + 1 – 0.97725 (from standard normal table)
= 0.0241
2.4% of the cans are defective.
Example (contd)
Suppose another process has a sample mean of 60.5 and
a standard deviation of 3.
Which process is more accurate? This one.
Which process is more consistent? The other one.
Control Charts
Control charts tell you when a process measure is
exhibiting abnormal behavior.
Upper Control Limit
Central Line
Lower Control Limit
Two Types of Control Charts
• X/R Chart
This is a plot of averages and ranges over time
(used for performance measures that are variables)
• p Chart
This is a plot of proportions over time (used for
performance measures that are yes/no attributes)
When should we use p charts?
1. When decisions are simple “yes” or “no” by inspection
2. When the sample sizes are large enough (>50)
Sample (day) Items Defective Percentage
1 200 10 0.050
2 200 8 0.040
3 200 9 0.045

When should we use X/R charts?
1. It is not possible to label “good” or “bad”
2. If we have relatively smaller sample sizes (<20)

History: how did we get here… • Deming and Juran outlined the principles of Quality Management. • Tai-ichi Ohno applies them in Toyota Motors Corp. • Japan has its National Quality Award (1951). • U.S. and European firms begin to implement Quality Management programs (1980’s). • U.S. establishes the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award (1987). • Today, quality is an imperative for any business.
  • 7. What does Total Quality Management encompass? TQM is a management philosophy: • continuous improvement • leadership development • partnership development Cultural Alignment Technical Tools (Process Analysis, SPC, QFD) Customer

  • 9. Six Sigma Quality • A philosophy and set of methods companies use to eliminate defects in their products and processes • Seeks to reduce variation in the processes that lead to product defects • The name “six sigma” refers to the variation that exists within plus or minus six standard deviations of the process outputs  6 

  • 30. In general, how can we monitor quality…? 1. Assignable variation: we can assess the cause 2. Common variation: variation that may not be possible to correct (random variation, random noise) By observing variation in output measures!
  • 31. Statistical Process Control (SPC) Every output measure has a target value and a level of “acceptable” variation (upper and lower tolerance limits) SPC uses samples from output measures to estimate the mean and the variation (standard deviation) Example We want beer bottles to be filled with 12 FL OZ ± 0.05 FL OZ Question: How do we define the output measures?
  • 32. In order to measure variation we need… The average (mean) of the observations:    N i i x N X 1 1 The standard deviation of the observations: N X x N i i     1 2 ) ( 

  • 42. Example Consider the capability of a process that puts pressurized grease in an aerosol can. The design specs call for an average of 60 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure in each can with an upper tolerance limit of 65psi and a lower tolerance limit of 55psi. A sample is taken from production and it is found that the cans average 61psi with a standard deviation of 2psi. 1. Is the process capable at the 3 level? 2. What is the probability of producing a defect?

  • 46. Control Charts Control charts tell you when a process measure is exhibiting abnormal behavior. Upper Control Limit Central Line Lower Control Limit
  • 47. Two Types of Control Charts • X/R Chart This is a plot of averages and ranges over time (used for performance measures that are variables) • p Chart This is a plot of proportions over time (used for performance measures that are yes/no attributes)
  • 48. When should we use p charts? 1. When decisions are simple “yes” or “no” by inspection 2. When the sample sizes are large enough (>50) Sample (day) Items Defective Percentage 1 200 10 0.050 2 200 8 0.040 3 200 9 0.045 4 200 13 0.065 5 200 15 0.075 6 200 25 0.125 7 200 16 0.080 Statistical Process Control with p Charts
