A EMPIRICAL STUDY ON QUALITYA EMPIRICAL STUDY ON QUALITYA EMPIRICAL STUDY ON QUALITY

M.Z.QuadriLife Member-QCFI

Introduction

In its broadest sense, quality is a degree of excellence: the extent to which something is fit for its purpose. In the narrow sense, product or service quality is defined as conformance with requirement, freedom from defects or contamination, or simply a degree of customer satisfaction. In quality management, quality is defined as the totality of characteristics of a product or service that bears on its ability to satisfy stated and implied needs. Quality is also rapidly embracing the nature or degree of impact an organization has on its stakeholders, environment and society.

Meeting requirements

Specifications are an imprecise means of conveying subjective aspects - not everything can be reduced to figures or measurable characteristics. For instance, the characteristics of friendliness or courtesy in a service industry are difficult to measure reliably and repeatedly. Therefore, conformance to requirements is not necessarily all there is to achieving quality.

Quality is a result

Quality is the result of a comparison between what was

required and what was provided. It is judged not by the producer but by the receiver. The judgment can be made of an intention, as is the case when selecting suppliers, or an output, as is the case when purchasing a product or service.

Customer satisfaction

The only true measure of acceptable quality is customer satisfaction, which takes into account both objective and subjective interpretations of the needs and expectations of customers. If customers are satisfied with the products and services offered, the organization has not only correctly interpreted customer needs and expectations but it is also providing products and services of acceptable quality.

Changing customer perceptions

Customer needs and expectations are constantly changing. Awareness of new technology, legislation, problems, competitor products or services creates new wants for customers. Wants turn into demands when these customers begin their next purchase. Therefore, it is vital for organizations to constantly improve quality so that satisfied customers are retained as well as created.


Quality and value

Value is not a price tag but a measure of the benefits derived

from a product or service for what is given in return. A

product may well meet physical and functional requirements

but be

overpriced when compared to others of the same class and

grade. Alternatively, the same product may be on offer at

another store for 50 per cent less, indicating exceedingly

good value for money. In an effort to reduce costs, some

organizations havers. forgotten that it is the quality of the

complete transaction that counts. Getting product quality

right while ignoring the human relationship between

customer and supplier will not lead to satisfied custome

What quality is not

Quality is not perfection, a standard, a procedure, a measure

or an adjective. No amount of inspection changes the quality

of a product or service. Quality does not exist in isolation -

there has to be an entity, the quality of which is being

discussed. Quality is not a specific characteristic of an entity

but the extent to which that characteristic meets certain

needs. The value of the characteristic is unimportant - it is

how its value compares with customer needs that signifies its

quality.

Why should an organization be interested in quality?

Every business exists not to make a profit, as many would

have us believe, but to create and retain satisfied customers. A

business would have no profits if it failed to create and retain

satisfied customers. Providing products and services which

meet customer needs and expectations creates satisfied

customers. Anticipating future needs and expectations

retains satisfied customers. Therefore, quality is vital to the

survival of every enterprise.

What does quality apply to?

Every product, service, process, task, action, decision can

either be acceptable or unacceptable. Hence, there is an

intrinsic quality in everything that an organization does.

Everyone must pay attention to quality, from the chief

executive to the shop floor across all functions in an

enterprise. It is as important for support staff to pay attention

to quality as production staff.

How can quality be achieved?

Several methods have evolved to achieve, sustain and

improve quality. They are known as quality control,

qualityimprovement and quality assurance - collectively

known as quality management. Quality management is not

the preserve of one manager but of all managers. Quality is

achieved through a chain of processes, each of which has to

be under control and subject to continual improvement. The

chain starts with top management expressing a firm

commitment to quality, then:

establishing customer needs and expectations

developing and maintaining a management system that will

enable achievement of customer needs and expectations -

reliably, repeatedly and economically

designing products and services with features which reflect

customer needs

building products and services so as to reproduce faithfully

the design

verifying before delivery that products and services possess

the features required

preventing the supply of products and services which possess features which dissatisfy customers

discovering and eliminating undesirable features in products and services

finding less expensive solutions to customer needs

making operations more efficient and effective

discovering what will delight customers and providing it

most importantly, honoring commitments

A variety of standards, philosophies, methodologies,

tools, techniques and measures have been developed to

help organizations meet these goals:

management systems - ISO 9001, ISO 14001, BS

OHSAS 18001, ISO/IEC 27001

philosophies - total quality management

methodologies - business process management, continual

improvement

tools and techniques - process charts, failure mode and

effects analysis, statistical process control, quality function

deployment

measures - quality awards, best value, ISO 9000 and

Investors in People
