ISO Registration
• What’s been good• Focus on quality• Demonstrates effort
• What was bad (mostly fixed in ISO 9000:2000• Became mechanical• Emphasized conformance to documentation, not
meeting QUALITY• Didn’t include customer view
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 23
Quality Today
• Reflects a blend of concepts and contributions from the “pioneers” (“gurus”)
• Stresses organization-wide TQM• Emphasizes the role of the front-line worker (authority and responsibility)
• Seeks to recognize achievement through prizes and certification
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 24
TQM Approach
• Know customer requirements and wants• Design a product to delight the customer• Design a process to do the job right (the first time and) every time• Apply fail-safing techniques (“poka-yoke” devices)
• Monitor and record results for improvement ideas
• Work with suppliers and customers
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 25
Poka-Yoke(Mistake-Proofing)
• Developed by Shigeo Shingo• An approach for mistake-proofing processes using automatic devices or methods to avoid simple human or machine error, such as forgetfulness, misunderstanding, errors in identification, lack of experience, absentmindedness, delays, or malfunctions

Other TQM Points
• Continual improvement (“kaizen”)• Competitive benchmarking• Employee enablement• Use of teams• Training• Extension to suppliers• Traditional vs. TQM cultures
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 28
Ishikawa’s Seven Basic Tools of Quality
• Process flowcharts• Check sheets• Scatter diagrams• Histograms• Pareto analysis (charts)• Cause-and-effect diagrams (Ishikawa/Fishbone)
• Control charts• Run charts
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 29
Flowcharts
• Shows unexpected complexity, problem areas, redundancy, unnecessary loops, and where simplification may be possible
• Compares and contrasts actual versus ideal flow of a process
• Allows a team to reach agreement on process steps and identify activities that may impact performance
• Serves as a training tool
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 30
Check Sheet
• Creates easy-to-understand data • Builds, with each observation, a clearer picture of the facts
• Forces agreement on the definition of each condition or event of interest
• Makes patterns in the data become
obvious quickly
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 31
xx xxxxxx x
Scatter Diagram
• Supplies the data to confirm a hypothesis that two variables are related
• Provides both a visual and statistical means to test the strength of a relationship
• Provides a good follow-up to cause and effect diagrams
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 32
* * ** * *
Histogram
Displays large amounts of data that are difficult to interpret in tabular formShows centering, variation, and shapeIllustrates the underlying distribution of the dataProvides useful information for predicting future performanceHelps to answer the question “Is the process capable of meeting requirements?
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 33
Pareto Diagram
• Helps a team focus on causes that have the greatest impact
• Displays the relative importance of problems in a simple visual format
• Helps prevent “shifting the problem” where the solution removes some causes but worsens others
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 34
Cause and Effect Diagram
• Enables a team to focus on the content of a problem, not on the history of the problem or differing personal interests of team members
• Creates a snapshot of collective knowledge and consensus of a team; builds support for solutions
• Focuses the team on causes, not symptoms
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 35
Effect
Cause
Control Chart
• Focuses attention on detecting and monitoring process variation over time
• Distinguishes special from common causes of variation
• Serves as a tool for on-going control• Provides a common language for discussion process performance
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 36
* * * * *

Run Chart
• Monitors performance of one or more processes over time to detect trends, shifts, or cycles
• Allows a team to compare performance before and after implementation of a solution to measure its impact
• Focuses attention on truly vital changes in the process

Process Improvement Sequence - 1
• Management responsibility• Develop process improvement plan• Determine process or area to examine• Form and train Process/Quality Improvement Team
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 38
Process Improvement Sequence - 2
• Team: use coarse tools• Process flowchart• Check sheets and histograms• Pareto analysis <--- (iterative• Fishbone chart ---> steps)
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 39
Process Improvement Sequence - 3
• Team: use fine tools• Process control charts• Run diagrams• Scatter diagrams• Failsafing
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 40
Process Improvement Sequence - 4
• Team• Determine process changes• Implement pilot process improvement • Measure and evaluate results• Repeat if results unsatisfactory; deploy full
implementation if results satisfactory
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 41
PDCA (or PDSA) Cycle
• Also known as the Deming wheel, or Deming/Shewhart cycle or wheel
• 4 parts to the cycle• Plan - document and analyze• Do - implement “improvement”• Check (or Study) - compare to desired state• Act - correct or standardize
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 42
Quality Circles vs. QITs
• Quality Circles• Limited authority• Focus within department• Often seen as added work• Ongoing
• Quality Improvement Teams• Greater authority• Focus on total process• Recognized as important part of job• End when process improvement complete
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 43
5W2H Approach
• What? Subject• Why? Purpose• Where? Location• When? Timing/sequence• Who? People involved• How? Method• How much? Cost/impact
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 44
SIX SIGMA
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 45
Six Sigma Quality
• Latest popular approach to Quality• ± 6 standard deviations (6) from the process mean = 0.0003% defects
• Represents a goal• Certification from ASQ on processes to support Six Sigma
• Many consulting and training firms on how to implement Six Sigma
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 46
Six Sigma at GE
• “The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many ‘defects’ you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to ‘zero defects’ as possible.”
Making Customers Feel Six Sigma Quality
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 47
Six Sigma Evolution
• Started as a simple quality metric at Motorola in 1986 (Bill Smith)
• Concept migrated to Allied Signal• (acquired Honeywell and took its name)
• Picked up by General Electric• Commitment by CEO Jack Welch in 1995• Grown to be an integrated strategy for attaining extremely
high levels of quality
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 48
What is Six-Sigma?
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 49
Sigma () is a Greek letter used to designate a standard deviation (SD)
in statistics Six refers to the number of SD’s
from the specialized limit to the mean. Six sigma is a fairly recent umbrella
approach to achieve quality

Statistics - DPU
• Defect • Six Sigma: “any mistake or error passed on to the
customer” ???• General view: any variation from specifications
• DPU (defects per unit)• Number of defects per unit of work• Ex: 3 lost bags ÷ 8,000 customers
= .000375
SJSU Bus 140 - David Bentley 52
Statistics – dpmo (defects per million opportunities)• Process may have more than one opportunity for error (e.g., airline baggage)
• dpmo = (DPU × 1,000,000) ÷ opportunities for error• Ex: (.000375)(1,000,000) ÷ 1.6 = 234.375 or (3 lost bags × 1,000,000) ÷ (8,000 customers × 1.6 average bags)
= 234.375
