Lesson 1. Introduction to Quality Awareness and Management
A. Quality Management Basic Approach
1. A committed and involve management to provide long-term top-to-bottom organization support
(Bestefield-Sacre et al., 2011).

participate in the quality program. A program council must be established to develop a clear Vision, set
long-term goals, direct the program. Quality goals are included in the business plan. An annual quality
improvement program is established and involves input form the entire work force (Bestefield-Sacre et
al., 2011). The key to an effective total quality management program is tits focus in the customer. An
excellent place to start is by satisfying internal customer. We must listen the “voice of the customer

statistical process control (SPC), and other appropriated quality improvement skill so they effectively
participate on the project teams. Including internal customer and, for matter, internal supplier on
project team is an excellent approach. People must come to work not only to do their jobs, but also to
think about how to improve their job. People must be empowered at the lowest possible level to
perform processes in an optimum manner (BestefieldSacre et al., 2011). There must be continual
striving to improve all business and production processes. Quality improvement project, such as on-time
delivery, order entry efficiency, billing error rate, customersatisfaction cycle time, scrap reduction, and
supplier management, are good place to begin (Bestefield-Sacre et al., 2011).
Technical such as SPC, benchmarking, quality function deployment, ISO 9001, and design experiments
are excellent for problem solving (Bestefield-Sacre et al., 2011).
Performance measures such as uptime, percent nonconforming, absenteeism, and customer
satisfaction should be determined for each functional area. These measures should be posted for
everyone to see (Bestefield-Sacre et al., 2011).
B. Awareness
An organization will not begin the transformation to TQM until it is aware that the quality of the project
or service must be improve. Awareness comes about when an organization loses market share or
realized that quality and productivity go hand-in-hand. It also occurs if TQM is mandated by the
customer or if manager realize that TQM is a better way to run a business and compete in domestic and
world markers (Bestefield-Sacre et al., 2011).
