• American Society for Quality
 Henry Ford, American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor
Company, once said that “Quality means doing it right when no
one is looking.”
 The American Society for Quality defines quality as a subjective
What is term for which each person has his or her own definition. In
technical usage, quality can have two meanings: (1) the
Quality? characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to
satisfy stated or implied needs and (2) a product or service free
of deficiencies.
 Edwards Deming, well-known consultant and author on the
subject of quality, describes quality as nonfaulty systems
What is Quality?
 Dr. Joseph M. Juran, in his book Juran’s
Quality Control Handbook, describes quality
as fitness for use.
 Quality Is Free, Philip Crosby discusses
quality as conformance to requirements and
nonquality as nonconformance
 The Juran Trilogy is an improvement cycle that
is meant to reduce the cost of poor quality by
planning quality into the product/process. In the
planning stage, it is critical to define who your
customers are and find out their needs (the “voice of
the customer”)
JURAN’S QUALITY TRIOLOGY
 Quality can take many forms.
Design  Quality of design means that the product or service has been
& designed to successfully fill a consumer need, real or perceived.

Conformance  Quality of conformance—conformance to requirements—refers


to the manufacture of the product or the provision of the service
& that meets the specific requirements set by the consumer.
 Quality of performance means that the product or service
Performance performs its intended function as identified by the consumer
Armand Quality is:

Quality his or her requirements—stated or unstated, conscious or merely
sensed, technically operational or entirely subjective—and

A process takes inputs and performs value-added activities on those
inputs to create an output.

occurrences are exactly alike


Variation  In manufacturing, variation is often identified as the difference
between the specified target dimension and the actual part
dimension.

 In service industries, variation may be the difference between the


type of service received and the type of service expected..
 To manufacture products within specifications, the processes
producing the parts need to be stable and predictable. A process
is considered to be under control when the variability (variation)
from one part to another or from one service to another is
Process in stable and predictable.

Control ?
 When a process is predictable, very little variation is present.
 Statistical process control practitioners use a variety of
techniques to locate the sources of variation in a process.
 Productivity’s principal focus is on doing something
more efficiently.
 Quality, on the other hand, focuses on being effective. Being
Quality & effective means achieving the intended results or goals while
meeting the customer’s requirements.
Productivity
 So quality concentrates not only on doing things right (being
productive), but also on doing the right things right at the first
time (being effective).

Normal Distribution (mathsisfun.com)


 A normal distribution, sometimes called the bell curve, is a distribution that occurs
naturally in many situations.
A Normal  For example, the bell curve is seen in tests like the SAT and GRE. The bulk of students
will score the average (C), while smaller numbers of students will score a B or D.
Distribution (Bell  An even smaller percentage of students score an F or an A. This creates a distribution
Curve) that resembles a bell (hence the nickname). The bell curve is symmetrical. Half of the
data will fall to the left of the mean; half will fall to the right.
 The standard deviation is a measure of the amount of
variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard
Standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to
Deviation the mean (also called the expected value) of the set, while a
high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread
out over a wider range.
Normal
Distribution
So, using the
Standard Deviation
we have a
"standard" way of
knowing what is
normal, and what is
extra large or extra
small.
Rottweilers are tall
dogs. And
Dachshunds are a
bit short, right?
 Find the variance and standard deviation of the following scores
EXAMPLE on an exam: 92, 95, 85, 80, 75, 50
 Find the standard deviation of the average temperatures recorded
Example over a five-day period last winter: 18, 22, 19, 25, 12
Empirical Rule
The standard

with a mean of
zero
and standard
deviation of 1.
 The percentages for the first 2 intervals are
somewhat larger than what we would expect using
the Empirical Rule. The Empirical Rule indicates that
approximately 68% of the observations will fall
within 1 standard deviation of the mean. It also
Empirical Rule indicates that approximately 95% of the
& Chebyshev’s observations will fall within 2 standard deviations of
the mean.
Theorem
 Chebyshev’s Theorem says that at least ¾ or 75% of
the observations will fall within 2 standard deviations
of the mean and at least 8/9 or 88.8% of the
observations will fall within 3 standard deviations of
the mean.
Quality has existed for
thousands of years.

The Evaluation
of Modern
Quality
Modern quality
principles have
evolved over
time
 Inspection refers to those
activities designed to detect or
find nonconformances existing
Inspection in already completed products
and services. Inspection, the
detection of defects, is a
regulatory process..
 It refers to the use of specifications and inspection of completed
parts, subassemblies, and products to design, produce, review,
sustain, and improve the quality of a product or service.
Quality
Control Quality control refers
Quality control broadly to the process of
(QC)
managing product quality to
meet a desired standard.
 The use of statistical methods for production monitoring and parts
inspection became known as statistical quality control (SQC),
wherein statistical data are collected, analyzed, and
interpreted to solve problems.

Statistical

 Prevention of defects by
