    Cost of Quality Texas Instrument

    Case Abstract Texas Instrument’s Materials & Controls (M&C) Group, a manufacture of clad and solid gold alloys for the jewelry industry, was founded in 1916. As the company grew bigger over time, TI had to perform competitively among other companies from all over world while reducing the costs of the products. At TI, quality was major focus during the international competition. Moreover, management also understood that, in order to obtain the long-run competitive success, it had to encounter greatly on expanding quality control. Thus, the company came up with “Total Quality Thrust” in which they developed the quality control system (i.e. they recorded cost of quality arose by the poor quality/performances of any process/products in a book called Quality Blue Book). Though the company could successfully implement the quality control system by measuring quality in financial term, the company could not lower down all the quality costs incurred. It could only implement the optimum level of relationship among the 4 costs (prevention, appraisal, internal & external) encountered. Why did TI choose to adopt a financial measure of quality? Choosing the right measure for quality is important. Many ways were used to measure effectiveness of “quality system”. Among them are the calculations of number or percentage of non-conformances produced; measurement of process performance such as CP Index, Cpk or capability ratio; customer returns; level of internal rejects and so on. While these methods have value in manufacturing, the only one that has any lasting effect on future viability of an operation is that measurement of quality in financial terms. Why use COQ instead of direct measures of quality (DMOQ)? By having measured DMOQ, we will not be able to see the loss of sales directly. DMOQ only measures the quality (attributes) of the products or services based on the customer specification and expectations. Sometimes it can be physical terms such as % on delivery time,…

    The Chapter Nine of Operation Management

    In the last chapter, we reviewed the long history of quality management. In the early 1900s, inspection shifted from the workers to a formal quality control department. This created tension between the workers and the inspectors, which is still evident in some companies today. But those who use the modern ideas of quality control are able to avoid these tensions and create a positive environment for quality improvement. In 1924, Walter A. Shewhart of the Bell Telephone Labs developed a statisti­ cal quality control chart. Two others from the Bell Labs, H. F. Dodge and H. G. Romig, further developed the theory of statistical quality control in the 1930s. But little was done in industry until World War II in the early 1940s. The war created the demand for huge quantities of military goods from industry. The mil­ itary required that industry adopt the new methods of statistical quality control to help ensure that the goods they ordered would meet government standards. As a result, statistical methods for control of quality were widely adopted by…

    Total Quality Managment

    Quality systems have been in existence for many more years than realized. It was during 1945- 1951 that Dr. Juran and Dr. Edward Deming traveled to Japan to give lectures on quality control systems. (Juran, 1995).Total quality management was derived by Deming in the 1940 's and implemented in Japan in the 1950 's (Deming, 2000). At the time, the US was not interested in this type of quality control. The United States Navy used statistical process control (a part of TQM) during the 1950 's and beyond. TQM was not used, however, in manufacturing or service industries. During the early 1980 's, the US started to use the terms total quality management and truly began applying Deming 's 14 points as a total quality management system. The methods for implementing this approach come from the teachings of such quality leaders as Philip B. Crosby, W. Edwards Deming, Armand V. Feigenbaum, KaoruIshikawa and Joseph M. Juran (Total, 2006).…

    Taguchi for KFC

    Since statistical techniques do not aid continuous quality improvement, the need has arisen to find new techniques and tools to replace the present-day quality systems infected with various statistical techniques. In this context, major portions of the methods proclaimed by Japanese-born quality engineering expert Dr Genuchi Taguchi, called “on-line quality control methods”, are found to offer meaningful solutions in the process of ensuring continuous quality improvement in manufacturing firms. Though a large number of case studies have been reported of the implementation of Taguchi’s offline quality control methods describing the conduct of a minimum number of experiments to decide the optimum parameters, there is virtually no successful case study in the literature about the implementation of Taguchi’s…
