Quality management for organizational excellence 8th edition download free

The core values were set by senior leaders with input from team members about what they felt was most fundamentally important about our culture. Our passion for guest delight is integrated into our values, which are thoroughly deployed throughout the organization.

Senior leaders refer to the mission, vision, values, and KBDs throughout key leadership process deployment, measurement, data analysis, evaluation, and performance improvement. The mission, vision, values, and KBDs are reviewed annually by the SLT during the strategic planning workshop to decide if any changes should be made. Our commitment to excellence is evident in our people selection and development processes, concept design, and operational management.

The mission, vision, values, and KBDs are first deployed through the Foundations session, then reinforced through training, shift meeting communication, and performance appraisals. The first flashcards in every set of training modules communicate the key elements of our culture to TMs [team members]. Our mission, vision, and values are deployed to key suppliers and guests in a variety of ways.

The mission and vision are printed on all business cards. Our guests can easily view our mission, vision, values, and KBDs posted on the walls of our restaurants, the Mighty Fine website, and demonstrated through the attitudes of our team members.

Our values are communicated to our key suppliers through a key vendor scorecard conducted annually by the executive director. The criteria of the scorecard essentially holds suppliers accountable to our product and delivery standards. We require our suppliers to provide us with product that meets our quality specifications at the scheduled delivery time in order for us to maintain our KBDs.

Suppliers who do not meet the standards of the vendor scorecard are replaced. As we noted in the chapter, process items in the Baldrige Criteria are assessed on four dimensions: approach, deployment, learning, and integration. The following are opportunities for improvement that an examiner team identified in the Leadership Category for a Baldrige applicant.

Discuss which of the four dimensions are implied in these comments some may address more than one dimension. The applicant presents limited evidence of systematic evaluation and refinement of several key leadership approaches that may support operational excellence and enhance sustainability. These include approaches for innovation, performance leadership, creation of a workforce culture that delivers a consistently positive customer experience, and enhancement of leadership skills.

Other examples are the Leadership Development Series, legal and ethical approaches, methods used to create a focus on action, and Legendary Service standards. Learning b. For example, the applicant does not describe the activities, people, and steps involved in the Leadership System and in aligning associates to customers through the Performance Management and Development Process.

Approach and deployment c. Several key leadership approaches do not appear to be fully deployed. For example, it is unclear how. Deployment; integration d. It is not evident that the applicant deploys its approaches to ethical behavior to interactions with customers, partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

Deployment; integration Students might also be asked to point to specific questions in the criteria for more clarification on the ideas suggested in this section. Prepare a list of specific actions that a high-scoring company in the Baldrige Award process might take in each of the seven categories.

How difficult do you think it is for a company to score well in all the categories? One approach to doing this is to study the practices of past winners. Application summaries are available through the corporate relations offices of all the companies some may charge a nominal fee or their web sites. Contact addresses may be obtained through the Baldrige office at the Department of Commerce or its web site www.

This book is usually updated each year to reflect changes in the criteria. Most companies are strong in the leadership, HRM and technical issues. Many are weak in information and analysis and strategic planning.

In teaching executive courses, one of the authors has consistently found as has Juran that most managers feel their companies are weakest in the planning functions. The Baldrige criteria are stringent. The difficulty of scoring well in each category is reflected in the fact that winners typically score only in the s overall.

In each cell of the matrix, list two to five characteristics that you would expect to see for a company in each of the four situations above for that criteria category. How might this matrix be used as a self-assessment tool to provide directions for improvement? This is a great exercise for students to examine the Criteria questions for increasing levels of maturity.

It provides a structure for organizations to develop and refine their practices and processes. Thus, on the maturity scale, this would be one of the first things to do. Traditional management practices might not actively seek this information or use manager opinions as to what customers want. The scoring guidelines provide one approach for helping to answer this question. These roughly correspond to scores achieved by Baldrige and state award applicants. Interview a quality professional at a local company about their quality management system.

Consider questions such as: Do they have a quality manual? Is their QMS integrated with other enterprise business systems? This project allows students to see what a QMS might look like in a real organization and the challenges that a company might have in creating and using it. Examine the following requirements from ISO Which directly help control or improve quality, and which do not? For those that do not, why do you think that they are part of the standard?

It has been criticized for this in the past. Clearly statements a, c, d, and f are directly focused on controlling and improving quality. Statements b and e are focused on documentation, while helpful from an organizational standpoint, are not directly focused on quality processes. Search the Web for detailed information about ISO requirements. Although the language of the standard appears to be primarily for manufacturing, try to rewrite some of the requirements in language that would provide a framework for a typical public school system to use the standard.

While the Baldrige has criteria versions for different sectors, ISO is written in sterile manufacturing language which can be a challenge for education, health, and other service organizations. Nevertheless, a wide variety of organizations have received ISO certification. Trying to rewrite the requirements would help students to really understand what they are about. Interview some managers at a local company that is pursuing or has pursued ISO registration.

Report on the reasons for achieving registration, the perceived benefits, and the problems the company encountered during the process. This exercise is designed to expose students to the use of ISO or its newest successor, ISO in organizations. Students may find that managers perceive that ISO is going to be more costly and difficult to attain and keep, based on the need for a more comprehensively deployed system required by the new standards. Describe the evolution of Six Sigma.

What impact has it had on General Electric? What differences must be addressed in applying Six Sigma in service organizations? See the text for details. Students might be challenged to find out where Six Sigma is going today and whether it indeed will be sustainable. See the last section of the chapter. What philosophical changes might be required to implement a Six Sigma process in a hospital, government agency, or not-for-profit organization? Are they likely to be easy or difficult?

Applying Six Sigma requires a process-oriented, information-intensive focus, which many of these organizations typically lack, except perhaps, for hospitals. Thus, implementing Six Sigma should be relatively easy for hospitals, and many examples exist. However, most government and non-profit agencies lack good systems for measurement and processes which will most likely make Six Sigma much more challenging. Training employees in the tools will also be more challenging.

How might the principles of Six Sigma be used to improve a quality process in a school or university? What elements of the Six Sigma philosophy might be difficult to obtain support for in the educational environment? There is not clear answer to these questions, as every school will be different.

Educational institutions will most likely find it more difficult to implement good measurement systems and get professional employees to buy in to the process and undergo training. Find a company that has implemented a Six Sigma process. What changes have they made in the organization in order to develop their Six Sigma approach? This is a good project to emphasize implementation issues. Many of these tie into subsequent chapters. What might Deming say about this situation?

Deming would have said that the numerical quota is contrary to the requirements that her supervisor states. The company needs to examine its staffing policies and scheduling procedures to ensure adequate.

Point 4: End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag alone. Point 5: Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service. Point 11 a : Eliminate numerical quotas for production. Instead, learn and institute methods for improvement. Lack of a systems perspective was probably the most important factor.
