Why Assessment?
To help develop a quality strategy a formal assessment of quality provides a guide for improvement by telling us :(1) The size of the quality issue(2) The areas demanding attention
Assessment of Quality
Assessment of quality comprises four elements :1. Cost of poor quality2. Standing in the marketplace3. Quality culture in the organization4. Operation of the company quality
system
Cost of Poor Quality (1)
Cost of poor is the cost of attaining quality
Cost of poor quality is the annual monetary loss of products and processes that are not achieving their quality
Cost of poor quality is one of the component of assessment in reducing costs and customer dissatisfaction
Cost of Poor Quality (2) Companies estimate the cost of poor quality for several reasons:
1. Quantifying the size of the quality problem in the language of money improves communication between middle managers and upper managers.
2. Major opportunities for cost reduction can be identified.3. Opportunities for reducing customer dissatisfaction and associated
threats to product salability can be identified.4. Measuring this cost provides a means of evaluating the progress of
quality improvement activities and spotlighting obstacles to improvements.
5. Knowing the cost of poor quality leads to the development of a strategic quality plan that is consistent with overall organization goals.
