PREFACE

Welcome to the fifth edition of Managing Quality: Integrating the Supply Chain . We are using the theme of supply chain management as a unifying theme for quality improvement. Previous adopters of Managing Quality will note that the coverage of quality topics is just as comprehen- sive as ever. We simply adopt the unifying theme of the supply chain to enhance our emphasis on the integration of systems with customers, suppliers, technology, and people. This is in response to changes in the marketplace and our customers—you! We think you will find that your custom- ers—the students—will find this change makes your quality management course ever more rel- evant and interesting. Of course, the new edition of the text has been updated with many changes to keep our coverage of quality topics on the cutting edge.

NEW TO THIS EDITION • You will notice more color in this edition of the text. This is because of you, our readers

and instructors who have made this book a best seller world wide. • Supply chain quality issues related to outsourcing have come to the forefront in recent

years, making this book even more relevant. With this, we have increased the coverage of outsourcing issues such as managing supplier alliances.

• We have turned a special eye towards updating vignettes such as the “Quality Highlights” and “Closer Looks at Quality,” with many updates including recent problems with Toyota, outsourcing to China, and Boeing. This provides a basis for discussing the causes of these problems.

• Many references have been updated to reflect the state of the art in research. • This book includes the ISO 9000:2008 standard and the most recent Baldrige criteria avail-

able at the time of publication. • We have increased the emphasis on emerging topics such as lean and sustainability. • There are many other recent topics added such as remote monitoring of product performance. • Many other changes, too numerous to mention, have been incorporated into this section of

the book. Look for the new problems on Service Transaction Analysis. However, while adding new content, we have not added to the bulk of the book. This allowed us to keep our focus on a lean and mean book that will hold the interest of students.

MAJOR THEMES

Supply Chain as a Unifying Theme Today’s firms are evermore focused on improving supply chain performance. Key to this improve- ment is quality management. As we look upstream, we need to develop our suppliers. Down- stream, we focus on customer service and after-sales service. Implicit in this process is service design. In your classes, you can drive these concepts home by emphasizing the systems view implicit in supply chain management. This unifying theme provides a linkage between the roots of quality management (Shewhart and Deming) with new developments such as Six Sigma and service quality. For clarification, this is not a supply chain management text. This is a quality management text that utilizes supply chain management as a unifying theme .

Integrative Approach Workers and managers in organizations are somewhat limited by their particular functional prep- aration and specialization (going back to their educational training). This narrow presentation filter is how they analyze and cognitively interpret information. However, quality management

xx

Preface xxi

has emerged as a discipline that is not owned by any of the functional areas such as operations management, supply chain management, human resources, or marketing. We all have to work together to satisfy customers.

Contingency Approach This is a concept we have emphasized for a long time that is gaining traction in the research and practitioner literature. We passionately believe that the future of quality management will involve learning the contingencies associated with managing quality. There is no “one way” or “magic pill” that companies can implement to improve quality. Therefore, the contingency approach is used to instruct students how to assess the current position of the firm and identify an effective strategy for improvement based on a profound understanding of their company, market, custom- ers, and so on. Thus improvement is based on the contingent variables that are operative in the firm as it exists. This contingency approach is introduced in Chapter 1 and permeates the rest of the text.

The author and over 300 universities around the world have successfully taught quality management using this contingency approach. This approach coupled with the unifying theme of the supply chain makes this pedagogically even more powerful. To manage quality effectively, a few conditions must be present: Students must understand their businesses, understand the qual- ity body of knowledge, understand the available tools, and have a method for planning quality based on this knowledge. This text provides a basis for accomplishing this—when combined with an instructor’s insight.

SUPPORT FOR THIS EDITION

Active Models There are interactive Excel spreadsheets located at www.pearsonhighered.com/foster that cor- respond to examples in Chapters 12 and 13 and allow the student to explore and better under- stand important quantitative concepts. Students or instructors can adjust inputs to the model and, in effect, they can answer a whole series of “what if” questions that are provided (e.g., What if variation in the process changes? What if the process indicates changes are needed? What if we change the sample size?). These Active Models are great for classroom presentation and/or homework.

Understanding Quality Concepts

To understand quality in the supply chain, we need a common language. In the general public, the language of quality is imprecise and inconsistent. The language of quality professionals is much more precise and consistent.

To understand the advanced concepts in the later chapters, in Chapters 1 through 3 we build a conceptual foundation of quality theory. This forms the basis of the contingency approach. To apply quality improvement on a contingent basis, you need to understand the foundation that has been laid by leaders in the quality movement such as W. Edwards Deming, Joseph Juran, Philip Crosby, Kaoru Ishikawa, and others. These people have made huge contributions to the well-being of the world, and a knowledge of their teachings and ideas is necessary for quality application.

In Chapter 3 we consider important frameworks, such as ISO 9000:2008, the Deming Prize, and the Baldrige criteria. These provide models for improvement that are being used in many countries around the world.

Those who are victorious plan effectively and change decisively. They are like a great river that maintains its course but adjusts its flow.

Differing Perspectives on Quality

2

RECOGNIZING DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON QUALITY

Quality management involves flows. There are process flows, information flows, material flows, and flows of funds. Each of these flows has to operate effectively, efficiently, and with outstand- ing quality. Like a river, we refer to upstream flows and downstream flows. The sums of these flows comprise the supply chain.

Considering the supply chain causes us to think about quality differently. One of the prob- lems with quality efforts has been that they tend to be too internally oriented. The supply chain causes us to expand our vision as we externalize processes that had previously been internalized. These include upstream processes relating to our dealing with suppliers—negotiating, selecting, and improving supplier performance—and downstream processes—delivering products and services and serving customers.

The supply chain encompasses many differing functions and processes. It includes all of the core activities from the raw materials stage to after-sale service. To execute all of these pro- cesses correctly involves integrating differing functions, expertise, and dimensions of quality. This need for integration increases the requirement for flexible, cross-functional problem solving and employees who can adapt to rapidly changing markets.

There are many different definitions and dimensions of quality in the supply chain. We present several of these definitions and dimensions in this chapter. For the present, you can view quality as a measure of goodness that is inherent to a product or service. Employees working for the same firm often view quality differently. Think of the different functions involved in creat- ing products and services. These include design engineering, marketing, operations, cost accounting, financial management, and others throughout the supply chain. A product design engineer might feel that customer satisfaction is mostly influenced by product design and prod- uct attributes and take great pains to design a product that satisfies the customer. However, the product also needs to satisfy marketing’s need for quick design cycle times and accounting’s

need for low-cost products. So perceptions differ on a variety of levels, including what our goals for the product or service are. A Closer Look at Quality 1-1 illustrates this point by com- paring people’s perceptions concerning service in airports.

Perceptions affect every aspect of our world—including the business world. To communi- cate effectively about quality, managers need to recognize that differences in perceptions of qual- ity exist. Although this observation may not seem too startling, many managers have strong opinions about what quality is. Sometimes these opinions can be at variance with the beliefs of the majority of their customers. This may hurt the competitiveness of a firm. For that reason, in this chapter we study quality from a variety of perspectives. Later we provide a means for recog- nizing and resolving differences in perception. Finally, we introduce the contingency view of quality management that we emphasize throughout this book.

WHAT IS QUALITY?

If you ask 10 people to define quality, you probably will get 10 definitions.

Product Quality Dimensions

There are several definitions of quality, or quality dimensions. One of the most respected col- lections of quality dimensions was compiled by David Garvin 2 of the Harvard Business School. Garvin found that most definitions of quality were either transcendent, product-based, user- based, manufacturing-based, or value-based. What does each of these terms mean?

Transcendent: Quality is something that is intuitively understood but nearly impossible to communicate, such as beauty or love.

Product-based: Quality is found in the components and attributes of a product. User-based: If the customer is satisfied, the product has good quality.

2 Garvin, D., “What Does ‘Product Quality’ Really Mean?” Sloan Management Review (Fall 1984): 25–43.

A CLOSER LOOK AT QUALITY 1-1 What’s in an Airport? 1

All airports serve the same purpose: a place for planes to land and take off and for passengers to board and unload. Yet, with this similar purpose, Asian airports rank among the best in the world and U.S. airports lag behind. In the annual Airport Service Quality Survey, four of the five top spots were awarded to airports in Asia. The difference in U.S. and Asian quality rankings lies within the perception of the passengers. In the United States, airports are perceived as public facilities, a means to an end. In Asia, airports are service-oriented businesses. The ex-COO of Seoul’s airport remarked, “Our focus is to make airports convenient, attractive, and pleasant, even at fairly high costs.” This difference in passenger perception drives quality standards.

The commitment to service and quality begins before a new Asian airports opens. Task forces benchmark some of the world’s best airports and management spends to provide amenities. Once the airport is operating, this process continues as opportunities for enhancing service are identified and the necessary expenditures for upgrades are made. These efforts to provide a world class airport have paid off, and in the case of Seoul, the airport’s success has benefited multiple industries.

Customer perception can influence quality. As firms compete on quality, customers win. As U.S. passengers travel abroad, their perception of what an airport can and should be changes. These changes will be felt at home.

4 Part 1 • Understanding Quality Concepts

Manufacturing-based: If the product conforms to design specifications, it has good quality. Value-based: If the product is perceived as providing good value for the price, it has good quality.

Using these five definitions of quality, Garvin developed a list of eight quality dimensions (see Table 1-1 ). These dimensions describe product quality specifically in the following paragraphs.

Performance refers to the efficiency with which a product achieves its intended purpose. This might be the return on a mutual fund investment, the fuel efficiency of an automobile, or the acoustic range of a pair of stereo speakers. Generally, better performance is synonymous with better quality.

Features are attributes of a product that supplement the product’s basic performance. These include many of the “bells and whistles” contained in products. A visit to any television or computer retail store will reveal that features, such as surround sound, HDTV capability, 3-D, and size, are powerful marketing tools for which customers will pay a premium. A full-line tele- vision retail store may carry televisions priced from $200 to $12,000. This range represents a 6,000% price premium for additional features!

Reliability refers to the propensity for a product to perform consistently over its useful design life. A subfield in quality management has emerged, called reliability management , based on the application of probability theory to quality. A product is considered reliable if the chance that it will fail during its designed life is very low. For example, if a refrigerator has a 2% chance of failure in a useful life of 10 years, we say that it is 98% reliable.

Conformance is perhaps the most traditional dimension of quality. When a product is designed, certain numeric dimensions for the product’s performance are established, such as capacity, speed, size, durability, or the like. These numeric product dimensions are referred to as specifications. The number of ounces of pulp allowed in a half-gallon container of “pulp-free” orange juice is one example. Specifications typically are allowed to vary a small amount called tolerance. If a particular dimension of a product is within the allowable range of tolerance of the specification, it conforms.

The advantage of the conformance definition of quality for products is that it is easily quantified. However, it is often difficult for a service to conform to numeric specifications. For example, imagine trying to measure the quality of a counselor’s work versus that of a carmaker. Because counseling is intangible, it is almost impossible to measure.

Durability is the degree to which a product tolerates stress or trauma without failing. An example of a product that is not very durable is a lightbulb. Lightbulbs are damaged easily and cannot be repaired. In contrast, a trash can is a very durable product that can be subjected to much wear and tear.

TABLE 1-2 PZ&B’s Service Quality Dimensions Tangibles Service reliability Responsiveness Assurance Empathy

Adapted from Parasuraman, A., Zeithamel, V., and Berry, L., “A Conceptual Model of Service Quality” (Report No. 84–106), Marketing Science Institute, 1984.

Serviceability is the ease of repair for a product. A product is very serviceable if it can be repaired easily and cheaply. Many products require service by a technician, such as the techni- cian who repairs your personal computer. If this service is rapid, courteous, easy to acquire, and competent, then the product generally is considered to have good serviceability. Note that differ- ent dimensions of quality are not mutually exclusive.

Aesthetics are subjective sensory characteristics such as taste, feel, sound, look, and smell. Although vinyl interiors in automobiles require less maintenance, are less expensive, and are more durable, leather interiors generally are considered more aesthetically pleasing. We measure aesthetic quality as the degree to which product attributes are matched to consumer preferences.

Perceived quality is based on customer opinion. As we said in the beginning of this chap- ter, quality is as the customer perceives it. Customers imbue products and services with their understanding of their goodness. This is perceived quality. We can witness an example of the effect of perceived quality every year in college football polls that rank teams. In many cases, the rankings are based on past records, team recognition, tradition of the university, and other factors that are generally poor indicators of team quality on a given Saturday. In the same way that these factors affect sportswriters’ perceptions, factors such as brand image, brand recognition, amount of advertising, and word of mouth can affect consumers’ perceptions of quality.

The Garvin list of quality dimensions, although it is the most widely cited and used, is not exhaustive. Other authors have proposed lists of additional quality measures, such as safety. Carol King 3 identified dimensions of service quality such as responsiveness, competence, access, courtesy, communication, credibility, security , and understanding. Allowed time, you probably could think of additional dimensions as well.
