Quality Management
“It costs a lot to produce a bad product.”
Norman Augustine
Cost of quality
1. Prevention costs
2. Appraisal costs
3. Internal failure costs
4. External failure costs
5. Opportunity costs
What is quality management all about?
Try to manage all aspects of the organization
in order to excel in all dimensions that are
important to “customers”
Two aspects of quality:
features: more features that meet customer needs
= higher quality
freedom from trouble: fewer defects = higher
quality
The Quality Gurus – Edward Deming
Quality is
“uniformity and
dependability”
Focus on SPC
and statistical
tools
“14 Points” for
management
1986
PDCA method
1900-1993
The Quality Gurus – Joseph Juran
Quality is
“fitness for use”
Pareto Principle
Cost of Quality
General
management
approach as well
as statistics
1951
1904 - 2008
History: how did we get here…
• Deming and Juran outlined the principles of Quality
Management.
• Tai-ichi Ohno applies them in Toyota Motors Corp.
• Japan has its National Quality Award (1951).
• U.S. and European firms begin to implement Quality
Management programs (1980’s).
• U.S. establishes the Malcolm Baldridge National
Quality Award (1987).
• Today, quality is an imperative for any business.
What does Total Quality Management encompass?

Six Sigma Quality
 6
• A philosophy and set of methods companies use to
eliminate defects in their products and processes
• Seeks to reduce variation in the processes that lead to
product defects
• The name “six sigma” refers to the variation that
exists within plus or minus six standard deviations of
the process outputs

Case: shortening telephone waiting time…
• A bank is employing a call answering service
• The main goal in terms of quality is “zero waiting time”
- customers get a bad impression
- company vision to be friendly and easy access
• The question is how to analyze the situation and improve quality

In general, how can we monitor quality…?
By observing
variation in
output measures!
1. Assignable variation: we can assess the cause
2. Common variation: variation that may not be possible to
correct (random variation, random noise)
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Every output measure has a target value and a level of
“acceptable” variation (upper and lower tolerance limits)
SPC uses samples from output measures to estimate the
mean and the variation (standard deviation)
Example
We want beer bottles to be filled with 12 FL OZ ± 0.05 FL OZ
Question:
How do we define the output measures?
In order to measure variation we need…
The average (mean) of the observations:

Capability Index (Cpk)
It shows how well the performance measure
fits the design specification based on a given
tolerance level
A process is k capable if
X  k  UTL and
UTL  X

k
and
X  k  LTL
X  LTL

Capability Index (Cpk)
Another way of writing this is to calculate the capability index:

 k
Cpk < 1 means process is not capable at the k level
Cpk >= 1 means process is capable at the k level
Accuracy and Consistency
We say that a process is accurate if its mean
the target T.
X is close to
We say that a process is consistent if its standard deviation
is low.

X = 10 and σ = 0.5
LTL = 9
UTL = 11

Example
Consider the capability of a process that puts
pressurized grease in an aerosol can. The design
specs call for an average of 60 pounds per square
inch (psi) of pressure in each can with an upper
tolerance limit of 65psi and a lower tolerance limit
of 55psi. A sample is taken from production and it
is found that the cans average 61psi with a standard
deviation of 2psi.
1. Is the process capable at the 3 level?
2. What is the probability of producing a defect?

No, the process is not capable at the 3 level.
Solution
P(defect) = P(X<55) + P(X>65)
=P(X<55) + 1 – P(X<65)
=P(Z<(55-61)/2) + 1 – P(Z<(65-61)/2)
=P(Z<-3) + 1 – P(Z<2)
=G(-3)+1-G(2)
=0.00135 + 1 – 0.97725 (from standard normal table)
= 0.0241
2.4% of the cans are defective.
Example (contd)
Suppose another process has a sample mean of 60.5 and
a standard deviation of 3.
Which process is more accurate? This one.
Which process is more consistent? The other one.
Control Charts
Upper Control Limit
Central Line
Lower Control Limit
Control charts tell you when a process measure is
exhibiting abnormal behavior.
Two Types of Control Charts
•
X/R Chart
This is a plot of averages and ranges over time
(used for performance measures that are variables)
•
p Chart
This is a plot of proportions over time (used for
performance measures that are yes/no attributes)
Statistical Process Control with p Charts
When should we use p charts?
1. When decisions are simple “yes” or “no” by inspection
2. When the sample sizes are large enough (>50)

Statistical Process Control with X/R Charts
When should we use X/R charts?
1. It is not possible to label “good” or “bad”
2. If we have relatively smaller sample sizes (<20)
Statistical Process Control with X/R Charts
Take t samples of size n (sample size should be 5 or more)

X   xi
