PREFACE
The American Society for Quality (ASQ) monitors news items reported in the press. What types of stories do we find? Food safety and toy recalls, health care, the automo- tive industry, and various product glitches dominate. Indeed, quality—or lack of quality—is a vital issue in everyone’s life. That’s why this book is relevant and important for today’s students and future business leaders, as well as those already in the work- force. Understanding the principles of quality and performance excellence is absolutely essential for new graduates to succeed in today’s highly competitive business world.
It is difficult for students to learn about these principles on their own, because there are so many different approaches to the topic. Although these approaches are similar, each has its own jargon and acronyms, which makes trying to pene- trate the subject for the first time a difficult experience. Furthermore, most books about quality are not written with the needs and experiences of students in mind.
This book has three objectives:
• to familiarize students with the basic principles and methods associated with total quality and performance excellence;
• to show students how these principles and methods have been put into effect in a variety of organizations; and
• to illustrate the relationship between basic principles and the popular theories and models studied in management courses.
The book presents the basic principles and tools associated with quality and per- formance excellence and provides many illustrations and end-of-chapter cases that can be used as the basis for class discussion. Many cases focus on large and small companies in manufacturing and service industries in North and South America, Europe, and Asia–Pacific.
This book is organized so that it can be used as a supplement to textbooks for courses in management, organization theory, organizational behavior, strategic

management and/or operations. The book also can be used as a free-standing introduction to quality and performance excellence in an elective course. Students who have had the basic courses in management and organizational theory and behavior will be familiar with most of the various management theories used to place quality and performance excellence principles in perspective.
CHANGES IN THE EIGHTH EDITION
This edition has made numerous changes to maintain currency of content and the student-friendly style of past editions. Discussions of the Baldrige criteria have been updated to conform with the 2015–16 criteria, and many other minor updates have been integrated throughout. New or additional boxed examples have been added, discussion questions and new experiential exercises have been added, and several new cases have been included.
ORGANIZATION OF THE BOOK
Considerable flexibility is built into the book to meet the individual needs of instructors. After the first two chapters, all others can be sequenced in almost any order. Unlike most books on quality, this one is organized according to traditional management topics. This organization helps students to see the parallels between quality principles and management theories in areas such as organizational design and leadership. In many traditional management books, quality is often presented as new or different, which it clearly is not.
Many quality principles are based on management theories that are familiar to teachers and students. The organization of this book enables students to appreciate the ways in which quality and performance excellence really are different from those theories.
The book has four parts. Part 1, Foundations of Quality and Performance Excellence, presents the core principles of total quality and performance excellence, and begins to explain how they relate to familiar management concepts. It also positions quality thinking within general business management frameworks and strat- egy, and it introduces tools used in process management. Each chapter begins with a “Performance Excellence Profile,” highlighting a Malcolm Baldrige Award-winning organization whose practices have particular relevance to the material in that chapter.
Chapter 1 introduces the concepts of total quality and performance excellence and their applicability to manufacturing, services, health care, education, and not- for-profits; the evolution of quality principles; and the modern principles of total quality and its relationship with agency theory.
Chapter 2 describes three major frameworks for pursuing performance excellence in organizations: the Baldrige Framework for Performance Excellence, ISO 9000:2000, and Six Sigma, focusing on the value of these approaches in build- ing performance excellence and evaluating their similarities and differences. The philosophies of Deming, Juran, and Crosby serve to motivate and provide a foun- dation for these frameworks.
Chapter 3 introduces process management and summarizes the most important tools and techniques for designing quality goods and services and for controlling

quality in manufacturing and service operations. These include topics such as qual- ity function deployment, failure mode and effects analysis, poka-yoke, statistical thinking, and statistical process control. It also discusses the role of creativity and innovation in quality, statistical thinking, and the effective use of such tools as sta- tistical process control.
Chapter 4 focuses on tools for quality and process improvement, including kaizen, the Deming Cycle, Six Sigma DMAIC, lean thinking, the Seven QC Tools, benchmarking and reengineering, and creativity and innovation concepts. The chapter presents several examples of process management in action.
Part 2, Performance Excellence, Strategy, and Organization Theory, introduces the importance of quality and performance excellence from a strategic perspective, the idea of customer-supplier relationships, and the role of organizational design.
Chapter 5 addresses the role of quality and performance excellence in organi- zational strategy for achieving competitive advantage, the value of differentiating organizations from their competitors, and approaches for doing so. It also dis- cusses quality-based strategic-planning processes and strategic work-design activi- ties. An important aspect of strategic management is the use of a “balanced scorecard” of metrics and information for data-driven decisions. This topic is also addressed.
Chapter 6 discusses the importance of customers and suppliers in a high- performing organization. It presents principles of customer-supplier relationships, practices for dealing with customers and suppliers, and examples of customer- supplier relationships in action and how they relate to organization theory.
Chapter 7 focuses on designing organizations to support a focus on perfor- mance excellence. It explains how high-performing organizations must differ from traditional functional organizations, approaches to organizational design, examples of organizations that have successfully redesigned themselves with a quality focus, and comparisons with organizational design theory.
Part 3, Performance Excellence and Organizational Behavior, discusses the themes of teamwork and empowerment, and relates quality to the topics of groups and motivation.
Chapter 8 focuses on teamwork. It highlights the importance of teams in a high- performance environment and describes the various types of teams commonly found in such organizations, including Six Sigma project teams. It also discusses what teams must do to work effectively from an organizational viewpoint, presents some examples of teamwork in action, and compares quality-based team concepts to orga- nizational behavior theories.
Chapter 9 develops the important concepts of employee engagement, empow- erment, and motivation. This chapter describes the scope and benefits of employee engagement, why empowerment is important in organizations, principles for suc- cessfully introducing and sustaining engagement and empowerment, and examples of organizations that have done so successfully. Motivation is discussed in the con- text of organizational practices that support quality efforts. These concepts also are discussed in the context of popular organizational theories of motivation.
Part 4, Leadership and Organizational Change, deals with practices for mak- ing performance excellence a part of today’s modern organizations, focusing on leadership and the journey to performance excellence.

Finally, I greatly appreciate the help of our editors at Cengage Learning, Aaron Arnsparger, and Conor Allen, as well as our former editors at Cengage Learning, West Publishing Company, and South-Western Publishing, Charles McCormick Jr., Richard Fenton, Esther Craig, and Alice Denny.
I believe, like many business and academic leaders, that quality is an absolute essential not only for competitive success in business but also for meaningful work and integrity in many aspects of life. If this book helps students to contribute to the quality of their organizations’ products and services and to understand the im- portance of quality in all their endeavors, then our efforts will have been worthwhile.
If you have any suggestions for improvement or perhaps a good story or case to contribute to the next edition, I would love to hear from you and acknowledge your contribution in the next edition. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail at James.Evans@UC.edu.
