Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Determines what will satisfy the customer Translates those customer desires into the target design Product design process uses cross-functional teams Marketing, engineering, manufacturing Taguchi Techniques Experimental design methods (statistical) Identify key component & process variables which affect product variation Taguchi Concepts Quality robustness Ability to produce products uniformly regardless of manufacturing conditions Quality loss function Target specifications Aim to produce bang on target rather than just anywhere in acceptable range 13 14 Quality Loss Function Shows social cost ($) of deviation from target value Assumptions Most measurable quality characteristics (e.g., length, weight) have a target value Deviations from target value are undesirable Equation: L = D 2 C L = Loss ($); D = Deviation; C = Cost 15 Frequency (number) 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Pareto Analysis of Wine Glass Defects 54 12 5 4 2 Scratches Porosity Nicks Contamination Misc 72% 16% 5% 4% 3% Causes, by percent of total defects 16

A customer may accept ISO9000 rather than their own approval scheme. IS0O9000 may be more or less demanding. ISO9000 is not in itself a guarantee of quality products ISO9000 is not the same as TQM: it is only a part. ISO9000 continued ISO9000 variations ISO9001: design / development, production, installation and servicing ISO9002: production and installation Each requires the design, documentation and implementation of quality systems Certification is provided by independent assessors 23 24

Conclusions about TQM There has clearly been a quality revolution, particularly in manufactured goods such as cars, televisions. TQM and ISO9000 have not necessarily produced tangible benefits. Has the cost outweighed the benefits? 29
