1 The employees at Sigtek were so receptive to the total quality program at first because they saw it as a chance to change things to help their work environment. It gave the employees a platform to bring problems within their jobs to the management that previously they may not have because they thought they were either going to be ignored or management may see the employees as problems that could be expendable. Employees were actually starting to come into work with checklists of examples of how things in their departments weren’t correlating with what the total quality program was preaching. The employees were also coming up with their own ideas on how these problems could be fixed; which was something that John Smithers was really excited about because it showed that the employees were really passionate about the new program. Something that concerned Smithers however was that his low level employees, some have not even completed high school, were understanding the concept of the total quality program but the higher level management employees could not comprehend the concepts. Smithers said when referring to the low level employees “for them what it came down to was just common sense and treating people right.” He also went on to say that if he could have left the company then and there with the majority of those line workers and started his own company that they would have been in good shape.

    Wengart Aircraft

    The one of the macro problems Wengart Aircraft is having is that they are the second largest company in the industry but are only ranked sixth in profitability (Brown, 2011). Wengart gets a large amount of contracts but they are spending a lot of money reworking most of the aircrafts after they come off of the production line. Another problem is the quality of their aircrafts is in question with the Secretary of Defense and other private customers. The Secretary of Defense has gone as far to say if there is not an improvement in quality they will start holding portions of their payments as penalties. This would not be good because Wengart is already struggling to make profits due to the poor quality of work. In order to fix these problems Ralph Larsen the president of Wengart has brought in an organization development practitioner to help him understand the TQM that the Department of Defense wants him to implement. This leads to the biggest problem Wengart is facing because after the practitioner makes his points, Larsen thinks that the TQM is common sense and that Wengart is already doing most of the points. Larsen than calls a meeting of his vice presidents and put Kent Kelly in charge of the program, even after one of the vice presidents suggested Larsen be in charge of the program because the TQM should be a joint project meaning the human resources and production departments work together. Larsen however did not feel that he had the time to be in charge of the program because he wanted to concentrate his efforts to increasing profits. After the meeting Kelly sends a memo to Allan Yoshida explaining the TQM program, with that information Yoshida calls a meeting of manager and line supervisors to give them the details of the TQM program. Yoshida than went and email all employees an outline of the TQM plan and told them to ask their managers or supervisor for more details if they had questions. After that rumors began to…

    The Great Wave is a seascape polychrome ink painting done on paper by Hokusai. When you first look at it, you almost miss the details because the massive waves seem to tower over the viewer. If you look closely at the waves, you can see there are boats which probably are depicting fishermen as well at the very small looking Mount Fuji in the background thanks to the sheer size of the waves. Because of the boats included he could have been painting a scene of everyday labor grafted onto the seascape view of the mountain as well. The curvature of the wave seem to bring the attention down to the fishermen as well as Mount Fuji maybe a hidden message as to the importance of these two to the culture at that time.…

    “TQM cannot, by itself, be expected to enhance the bottom line of a company with overpriced products or a company that is highly vulnerable to slight downturns in the economy. Quality is a prerequisite for success, but does not guarantee it. Nonetheless, it has become fashionable to label TQM programs as ineffective when, in fact, other factors are to blame.” (Paetsch, 1993) Total quality management is the approach to quality management and embodies the following which they focus on the customer, have quality function of deployment, responsibility for quality, team problem solving, employee training, fact-based management, and philosophy of continuous improvement. It is important that if the hospital decides to focus on providing quality health care for their patients, this is the best way to decide what needs to be done. I think that if they were responsible for quality of their patients, it would give them an edge on being better than some hospitals in the area. If they are able to provide more services for their patients, it will go a long way. Making sure that they also train the right people to do these new jobs will help the hospital become something…

    Expectations were too high. Because of the environment that was already established at VC Brakes, the new TQM program would only work to disappoint all involved, because not all employees were “buying” into it. The culture of the company had already been set; it’s very difficult to change the culture. Engagement didn’t start from the top down. If upper management doesn’t believe in it, then why should anyone else. He was never going to win with a group of employees that were against the concept before it even started. It is very difficult to change employees’ attitudes toward a company or project when they are already tainted and exude such distain for the company they work for. Things really started to go wrong when he wasn’t able to produce results that people could see. With any program you have to give some hope that it works and it’s a good cause to fight fairly early on in the implementation.…

    Jacoby vs Rhodes

    • 1487 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In his essay, “A Desensitized Society Drenched in Sleaze, ” Jeff Jacoby argues that a sex and violence filled media has desensitized society by making extremely obscene actions almost a norm. According to Jacoby, entertainment through means of television, cinema, and music is so sex and violence drenched that this new generation we live in is accustomed to offensive behavior. Because of the boost of offensive actions in the media, people see such actions as normal to a point where we do not think such acts are offensive anymore as compared to society’s sensitive minds of the past. In addition, he believes that this media desensitizes and corrupts people and their actions, leading them to perform extremely violent, outrageous crimes and behavior. Jacoby concludes that we have grown jaded because “depravity becomes more and more tolerable because less and less scandalizes us” (667).…
