Samsung is a South Korean multinational conglomerate company
headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul. It comprises numerous subsidiaries and
affiliated businesses, most of them united under the Samsung brand, and
is the largest South Korean business conglomerate.
Samsung entered the electronics industry in the late 1960s and the
construction and shipbuilding industries in the mid-1970s; these areas would
drive its subsequent growth. Following Lee's death in 1987, Samsung was
separated into four business groups – Samsung Group, Shinsegae Group, CJ
Group and Hansol Group.
• The IT & Mobile segment is about 66% higher than the Semiconductor division and
about 3x the Display products division.
• The IT & Mobile division is expected to add about $1 billion to Samsung’s top line in
2019, while the Semiconductor division is likely to reduce Samsung’s top line by
over $20 billion, due to weaker memory prices.

The philosophy of Samsung
1. On the Basis of Human Resources & Technologies
•Make the extension of human resource development and technical superiority
with management principles
•Increase the synergy effect of the whole management system through human resources
and technologies
To understand the meaning of “Total quality management”, let us first know what
does Quality mean?
Quality plays an essential role in every business. Business marketers need to emphasize on
quality of their brands over quantity to survive the cut throat competition.
Total Quality Management
• SEC was founded in 1969 and sold its first product, a television receiver, in 1971.
• Since that time, the company has used tools and techniques such as total quality
control, total process management, product data management, enterprise resource
management, supply chain management and customer relationship management.
• Six Sigma was added to upgrade these existing innovations and improve SEC’s
competitive position in world markets
What is Six Sigma?
To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per
million opportunities. A Six Sigma defect is defined as anything outside of
customer specifications.
The Six Sigma methodology is defined by 5 DMAIC steps. DMAIC is the
acronym for Define – Measure – Analyse – Improve – Control. In addition to the 5
DMAIC steps, there is also a step zero that occurs first. It is known as Six Sigma
Leadership.
DMAIC
The four factors that have made Six Sigma successful throughout Samsung’s
international operations and culture are:
• Strong proactive support with required resources provided by top management.
• Acceptance and implementation of Six Sigma’s basic disciplines by employees.
• Linkage with all innovative and infrastructure activities.
• Accurate and fair evaluation of all successful Six Sigma projects, with
meaningful recognition and rewards for employees.
Other Techniques adopted by Samsung to
achieve TQM
• CUSTOMER SATISFACTION INDEX
Samsung Engineering regularly conducts Customer
Satisfaction Index (CSI) surveys to assess client satisfaction, address
client complaints, and identify areas for improvement.
Phase-by-phase surveys are conducted at each stage of the project
(engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, etc.). The
resulting project score is monitored to allow the team to continuously
improve client satisfaction.
Upon completion of the project, the client is asked to submit final
feedback in the form of a written report, the conclusions of which are
incorporated into Samsung Engineering’s company-wide quality
management practices.
• COST OF POOR QUALITY MANAGMENT
In the EPC business, failure to conduct quality management can result in significant
unnecessary costs. Seeking to avoid overages, Samsung Engineering engages in Cost
of Poor Quality (COPQ) control activities designed to prevent and mitigate quality issues across
the entire operation of the company, including rework, delays in delivery of materials /
equipment and interruptions in the construction schedule. This initiative helps reduce project
execution costs while, at the same time, improve client satisfaction.
• AUDIT PROGRAM
Samsung has set up and is operating the Corporate Audit Program, covering all
semiconductor sites, to upgrade the level of the quality management systems by
creating a desirable culture of objective diagnosis and improvement.

qualifications of internal auditors into 3
categories while training and controlling
auditors specialized in each category.

the ongoing audits for each purpose at the corporate and each individual site levels.
