 DEFINITION OF QUALITY

• “It is a process that ensures the quality of the product

through out its life cycle.”
• It try to manage all aspects of the organization in order
to excel in all dimensions that are important to
customers.
• Two aspects of quality:
Features: more features that meet customer needs
= higher quality
Freedom from trouble: fewer defects = higher
quality
Dr Sunil Kumar 4
 ROLE OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT

• Increase the customer satisfaction.

• Increase the production of processes.
• Decrease the risk in any process involved.
• To determine the areas of improvement and document them.
• Ensure that procedures conform to legislations.
• Develop new plans to improve the existing quality system

Dr Sunil Kumar 5
DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY

Dr Sunil Kumar 6
 DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY
•Performance: Performance refers to a product's primary
operating characteristics. This dimension of quality
involves measurable attributes; brands can usually be
ranked objectively on individual aspects of performance.

•Features: Features are additional characteristics that

enhance the appeal of the product or service to the user.

•Reliability: Reliability is the likelihood that a product will

not fail within a specific time period. This is a key element
for users who need the product to work without fail.

Dr Sunil Kumar 7
 DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY
• Conformance: Conformance is the precision with which the
product or service meets the specified standards.

• Durability: Durability measures the length of a product’s life.

When the product can be repaired, estimating durability is more
complicated. The item will be used until it is no longer
economical to operate it. This happens when the repair rate and
the associated costs increase significantly.

• Serviceability: Serviceability is the speed with which the

product can be put into service when it breaks down, as well as
the competence and the behavior of the service person.
Dr Sunil Kumar 8
 DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY

• Aesthetics: Aesthetics is the subjective dimension indicating

the kind of response a user has to a product. It represents the
individual’s personal preference.

• Perceived Quality: Perceived Quality is the quality attributed

to a good or service based on indirect measures.

Dr Sunil Kumar 9
 COMPONENTS OF QUALITY

Planning Assurance Cost

Control Improvement

Dr Sunil Kumar 10
 PLANNING
• Quality control planning is the first step.
• Requirements must be identified, a criteria needs to be
set,
• Important procedure must be recognized as a part of the
plan.
• A quality plan sets out the desired product qualities and
how these are assessed and define the most significant
quality attributes
• It should define the quality assessment process
• It should set out which organisational standards should be
applied and, if necessary, define new standards
Dr Sunil Kumar 11
 PLANNING STRUCTURE
• Product introduction
• Product plans
• Process descriptions
• Quality goals
• Risks and risk management
• Quality plans should be short, succinct documents
• If they are too long, no-one will read them

Dr Sunil Kumar 12
 QUALITY CONTROL
• Quality control is needed to review the quality of the
product or service.

• Inspection and testing is necessary to identify

problems and defects that need correction.

• Quality Control focused on fulfilling quality

requirements.

Dr Sunil Kumar 13
 OBJECTIVES OF QUALITY CONTROL

• To establish the desired quality standards which are

acceptable to the customers?
• To discover flaws or variations in the raw materials and the
manufacturing processes in order to ensure smooth and
uninterrupted production.
• To evaluate the methods and processes of production and
suggest further improvements in their functioning.
• To study and determine the extent of quality deviation in a
product during the manufacturing process.
• To analyze in detail the causes responsible for such deviation.
• To undertake such steps which are helpful in achieving the
desired quality of the product.
Dr Sunil Kumar 14
 QUALITY ASSURANCE
• Companies need to assure defects and mistakes are
avoided in the manufacturing of good or the delivery of
service,

• Quality assurance guarantees consistent results.

• Quality Control focused on providing confidence that

quality requirements will be fulfilled.

Dr Sunil Kumar 15
 STAGES OF QUALITY ASSURANCE

• Understand the customer needs

• Define the objectives
• Designing the product
• Prototyping
• Quality Testing
• Customer approval
• Product pilot test
• Quality test
• Customer feedback
• Manufacturing
• Follow up customer feedback

 QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
• There is always room for improvement.
• Through quality improvement, the results can be
measured and possible improvements in products or
services can be made.
• It is a systematic, formal approach to the analysis of
practice performance and efforts to improve
performance. A variety of approaches—or QI models
—exist to help you collect and analyze data and test
change.

Dr Sunil Kumar 19
 PDCA: Plan-Do-Check-Act
It is a cyclic method for continuous improvement of processes

 QUALITY COST
• Quality costs are the all the costs that a manufacturer
incurs to ensure it produces a quality product. 

• Quality costs include both costs to prevent low-

quality production and costs that arise after a
low quality product is produced.

Dr Sunil Kumar 22
 Quality costs fall into four categories, which are:

• Prevention costs. You incur a prevention cost in order to keep a quality

problem from occurring.

• Appraisal costs.

• Internal failure costs.

• External failure costs.

 TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT

• Total quality management (TQM) has been defined as an integrated

organizational effort designed to improve quality at every level.

• The process to produce a perfect product by a series of measures require an

organized effort by the entire company to prevent or eliminate errors at every
stage in production is called total quality management.

• According to international organization for standards defined tqm as, “TQM is a

management approach for an organization, centered on quality, based on the

 PARETO PRINCIPLE
NAMED AFTER VIFREDO PARETO AN ITALIAN
ECONOMIST

• He observed in 1906 that 20% of the Italian population owned 80% of

Italy's wealth.

• • He then noticed that 20% of the pea pods in his garden accounted
for 80% of his pea crop each year.

Dr Sunil Kumar 40
 PARETO PRINCIPLE
• A small number of causes is responsible for a large percentage of the
effect -usually a 20-percent to 80-percent ratio.

• This basic principle translates well into quality problems - most

quality problems result from a small number of causes.

• You can apply this ratio to almost anything, from the science of
management to the physical world

Dr Sunil Kumar 41
PARETO PRINCIPLE

Dr Sunil Kumar 42
Dr Sunil Kumar 43
 EXAMPLES OF PARETO PRINCIPLE
• 20% of the input creates 80% of the result.
• 20% of the bugs cause 80% of the crashes.  
• 80% of customer complaints arise from 20% of your products or services.
• 80% of the work is usually done by 20% of the people.
• 80% of the quality can be gotten in 20% of the time perfection takes 5 times
longer.
• 80% of your staff headaches come from 20% of our employees
• 80% of our personal telephone calls are to 20% of the people in our address
book.
• In most parties 80% of the beer will be consumed by 20% of people.
Dr Sunil Kumar 44
 WHAT IS PARETO CHART?
• A Pareto Chart is a series of bars whose heights reflect the frequency or
impact of problems.

• The bars are arranged in descending order of height from left to right.  

• This means the categories represented by the tall bars on the left are
relatively more significant then those on the right.

• This bar chart is used to separate the “vital few” from the “trivial many”.
Dr Sunil Kumar 45
 WHY PARETO CHART IS USED?
• A Pareto Chart breaks a big problem down into smaller pieces,
identifies the most significant factors, shows where to focus efforts,
and allows better use of limited resources.

• You can separate the few major problems from the many possible
problems so you can focus your improvement efforts, arrange data
according to priority.

SAGAR SACHDEVA
What this topic all about ?

• What actually quality management is ?

• Quality + Management = Quality Management

• Quality Management tools.

• Need of Quality Management tools for managers

• Conclusion

Dr Sunil Kumar 48
 QUALITY MANAGEMENT..
• Quality management is the act of overseeing different activities and tasks within an organization to
ensure that products and services offered, as well as the means used to achieve them, are
consistent.

• It helps to achieve and maintain a desired level of quality within the organization.

• The aim of quality management is to ensure that all the organization’s stakeholders work together
to improve the company’s processes, products, services, and culture to achieve the long-term
success that stems from customer satisfaction.

• It helps an organization achieve greater consistency in tasks and activities that are involved in the
production of products and services.

• It increases efficiency in processes, reduces wastage, and improves the use of time and other
resources.

Dr Sunil Kumar 49
QUALITY MANAGEMENT(contd.)
• It helps improve customer satisfaction.

• It enables businesses to market their business effectively and exploit new markets.

• It makes it easier for businesses to integrate new employees, and thus helps businesses
manage growth more seamlessly.

• It enables a business to continuously improve their products, processes, and systems.

Dr Sunil Kumar 51
FLOWCHART…
• We all are familiar with “Flowchart” since our school or college days. A flowchart is a diagram
which represents a workflow process, algorithm, or a step by step process connected by arrows in
different directions.

• These flowcharts are used for the representation of organizational structures, Login System,
document work process flow, billing transaction flow etc.

• Flowchart allows identifying the actual flow of events in a system.

• It is the step of the process that will provide information or picture of what the process looks like
and throw some light on the quality issues. Flowchart helps in identifying where exactly the
quality issue is in the process.

• Here, every step is an action and result of it produces an output which is again used as an input to
the next step.

Dr Sunil Kumar 52
FLOWCHART(contd.)
• Given below is an Example of sample flowchart of the kitchen department or kitchen hierachy
of a five star hotel.

Dr Sunil Kumar 53
HISTOGRAM…
• A common graphical tool used to portray and visualize the distribution of a set of data is the
histogram. It shows the form of the distribution by establishing the frequency of the data within a
certain range.

• The histogram is constructed by taking the difference between the minimum and maximum
observations and dividing it into evenly spaced intervals.

• Then, the number of observations in each interval is counted and the frequency is plotted as the
height of a bar on the graph.

• The histogram is, in essence, a simplified view of the distribution that generated the plotted data.

How to Use:
• Step 1.  Collect variable data (length, distance, weight, time, etc).
• Step 2.  Generate the graph as a histogram, either with an application or manually.
• Step 3.  Draw your conclusions.

Dr Sunil Kumar 54
HISTOGRAm(Contd.)
Parts of a Histogram:

• The title: The title describes the information included in the histogram.

• X-axis: The X-axis are intervals that show the scale of values which the measurements fall under.
• Y-axis: The Y-axis shows the number of times that the values occurred within the intervals set by
the X-axis.
• The bars: The height of the bar shows the number of times that the values occurred within the
interval, while the width of the bar shows the interval that is covered. For a histogram with equal
bins, the width should be the same across all bars.

Example of a Histogram

• Jeff is the branch manager at a local bank. Recently, Jeff’s been receiving customer feedback
saying that the wait times for a client to be served by a customer service representative are too
long. Jeff decides to observe and write down the time spent by each customer on waiting. Here
are his findings from observing and writing down the wait times spent by 20 customers:

Dr Sunil Kumar 55
HISTOGRAm(contd.)

We can see that:

There are 3 customers waiting between 1 and 35 seconds
There are 5 customers waiting between 1 and 40 seconds
There are 5 customers waiting between 1 and 45 seconds
There are 5 customers waiting between 1 and 50 seconds
There are 2 customers waiting between 1 and 55 seconds
 
Dr Sunil Kumar 56
CAUSE & EFFECT CHART…
• Cause-Effect is also known as Fish-bone diagram as the shape is somewhat similar to the side
view of a fish skeleton. During problem-solving, everyone in the team has a different opinion
about the root cause of the issue or problem.

• Fish-bone diagram captures all causes, ideas and uses brainstorming method to identify the
strongest root cause.

• Cause-Effect diagram records causes of specific problems or issues related to the processor
system. You will get many different causes for a specific problem.

• To start with the fishbone, you need to state your problem as a question, that too in terms of
“why”. This will help in brainstorming as each question should have an answer. In the end, the
entire team should agree on the problem statement and then place this question at the “head”
of the fish-bone.

• The rest of the fishbone then consists of one line that is drawn horizontally across the page
attaching the problem statement at the head and a vertical line drawn as branches or bone.

Dr Sunil Kumar 57
• For example, a hotel manager wants to investigate why guest rooms are not ready for check-in
at 4:00 PM. The manager brainstorms reasons with the improvement team and creates a cause-
and-effect diagram to categorize the reasons. The team can then prioritize problem areas and
develop improvement ideas.

Dr Sunil Kumar 58
SCATTER DIAGRAM..
• Scatter diagrams are graphs that show the relationship between variables. Variables often
represent possible causes and effect.

• As an example, a scatter diagram might show the relationship between how satisfied volunteers

are that attend orientation training.

• The diagram shows the relationship between volunteer satisfaction scores and volunteer
orientation training.

Dr Sunil Kumar 59
CHECK LIST…
• A check sheet is a basic quality tool that is used to collect data. A check sheet might be used to
track the number of times a certain incident happens.

• The Check sheet is used to collect data and information in an easy format.

• It increases accuracy in the data collection process with easy method and format. It
significantly reduces efforts for data collection as well. This data collection is based on actual
facts and figures rather than any imaginary numbers and item.

• The check sheet is updated by recording “marks” or “checks” on it. In the below Example, the
Human Resource Department tracks the number of questions raised on each day under
different categories.

• Thus the below table shows the total number of questions raised in the Human Department by
different category like Health Insurance, Sick Time, Paid Time off etc. It also provides
information on the total number of questions raised on each day in a week.

Dr Sunil Kumar 60
CHECK LIST…(CONT.)

Dr Sunil Kumar 61
PARETO’S CHART:
• A Pareto chart is a bar graph of data showing the largest number of frequencies to the smallest.
• Pareto analysis is based around the 80/20 rule, whereby often the vital few things cause the
biggest effect.
• That’s 80% of sales come from 20% customers…
• 80% of defects come from 20% root causes…
• It might not be exactly 80/20, but you’ll find that the vital few things cause the major effect.
• It’s simple in its approach.
• And it’s depicted in the form of a bar chart, whereby frequency or impact is show in descending
order, against specific cause codes, or reasons of failure / problems.
• Using this method, you can quickly, see the biggest impact from the vital few causes.
• And once you have this information, you can get to work improving the vital few root causes.

Dr Sunil Kumar 62
• In this example, we are looking at the number of product defects in each of the listed categories.
• When you look at the number of defects from the largest to the smallest occurrences, it is easy to see
how to prioritize improvements efforts.
• The most significant problems stand out and can be targeted first.

Dr Sunil Kumar 63
CONTROL CHART:

• Control charts or run charts are used to plot data points over time and give a picture of the
movement of that data.
• These charts demonstrate when data is consistent or when there are high or low outliers in the
occurrences of data.
• It focuses on monitoring performance over time by looking at the variation in data points. And
it distinguishes between common cause and special cause variations. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average is a good example of a control chart.

QUALITY LEADERSHIP
 QUALITY
• The quality is a distinctive attribute or
characteristic possessed by someone
or something.
• Quality is doing the right things right
and is uniquely defined by each
individual. — A product or process that
is Reliable, and that performs its
intended function is said to be
a quality product.

Dr Sunil Kumar 68
LEADERSHIP

• Leadership is both a research area

and a practical skill encompassing the
ability of an individual
or organization to "lead" or guide
other individuals, teams, or
entire organizations. 

Dr Sunil Kumar 69
QUALITY LEADERSHIP

Dr Sunil Kumar 70
• Quality leadership is where quality principles become “a
basis for guiding, empowering and supporting the
constant pursuit of excellence by the employees
throughout the organization.”

Dr Sunil Kumar 71
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD LEADER

Dr Sunil Kumar 72
1. Honesty and Integrity

• Honesty and integrity are two important

ingredients which make a good leader.
• How can you expect your followers to be
honest when you lack these qualities yourself?
• Leaders succeed when they stick to their values
and core beliefs and without ethics, this will not
be possible.

Dr Sunil Kumar 73
2. Confidence

• To be an effective leader, you should be

confident enough to ensure that other follow
your commands.
• If you are unsure about your own decisions
and qualities, then your subordinates will
never follow you. 
• This does not mean that you should be
overconfident, but you should at least reflect
the degree of confidence required to ensure
that your followers trust you as a leader.

Dr Sunil Kumar 74
3. Inspire Others

• Probably the most difficult job for a leader

is to persuade others to follow.
• It can only be possible if you inspire your
followers by setting a good example. If you
handle the situation well, they will follow
you.
• As a leader, should think positive and this
positive approach should be visible
through your actions.

Dr Sunil Kumar 75
4. Commitment and Passion

• Your teams look up to you and if you

want them to give them their all,
you will have to be passionate about
it too.
• If they feel that you are not fully
committed or lacks passion, then it
would be an uphill task for the
leader to motivate your followers to
achieve the goal.

Dr Sunil Kumar 76
5. Good Communicator

• A good communicator can be a

good leader. Words have the
power to motivate people and
make them do the unthinkable. If
you use them effectively, you can
also achieve better results.

Dr Sunil Kumar 77
6. Decision-Making Capabilities

• Decisions taken by leaders have a

profound impact on masses.
• A leader should think long and hard
before taking a decision but once the
decision is taken, stand by it. 

Dr Sunil Kumar 78
 MOTIVATION

• Motivation is an important
factor which encourages
persons to give their best
performance and help in
reaching enterprise goals.

Dr Sunil Kumar 79
 NATURE OF MOTIVATION
• 1. Motivation is an inner feeling which energizes a person to work more.
• 2. The emotions or desires of a person prompt him for doing a particular work.
• 3. There are unsatisfied needs of a person which disturb his equilibrium.
• 4. A person moves to fulfill his unsatisfied needs by conditioning his energies.

them into actions.

Dr Sunil Kumar 80
Strategies for achieving a motivated workforce:

• Start with individuals

• Get the basics right
• Trust your people
• Show them the big picture
• Be open and transparent
• Set small, achievable goals
• Recognize and reward
• Give frequent feedback
• Provide career development
• Offer flexibility and regular breaks
Dr Sunil Kumar 81
 EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT

• Employee Empowerment in work setting means

giving employees the means, ability, and
authority to do something.

• It involves efforts to take full advantage of

organisation’s human resources by giving
everyone more information and control over
how they perform their jobs.

Dr Sunil Kumar 82
• Continued….

• Various techniques of empowerment range from participation in

decision-making to the use of self-managed or empowered teams.

• Employees’ empowerment is the process of sharing power with

employees, thereby enhancing their con­fidence in their ability to
perform their jobs, and their belief that they are influential
contributors to the organization.

Dr Sunil Kumar 83
TEAM

• A team means a group of
employees who are working
together on either a temporary or
a permanent basis to achieve a
common objective.

Dr Sunil Kumar 84
 Recognition and Rewards

• Employee recognition is the acknowledgment

of a company’s staff for exemplary
performance. 
• Appreciation is a fundamental human need.
Employees respond to appreciation
expressed through recognition of their good
work because it confirms their work is valued
by others.

Dr Sunil Kumar 85
• Continued….

• When employees and their work are valued, their satisfaction and
productivity rises, and they are motivated to maintain or improve their good
work.
• Praise and recognition are essential to an outstanding workplace.
• People want to be respected and valued by others for their contribution.
• Everyone feels the need to be recognized as an individual or member of a
group and to feel a sense of achievement for work well done or even for a
valiant effort.
• Everyone wants a ‘pat on the back’ to make them feel good.

Dr Sunil Kumar 86
GAIN SHARING

• Gains sharing, is a system that businesses use

to try to get their employees to become more
productive.
• It is a management system to increase
profitability by motivating workers to boost
their performance through participation and
involvement.
• As their productivity increases, so do the
company’s profits. Workers subsequently
share financially in the improvement.

Dr Sunil Kumar 87
 Performance Appraisal

• A performance appraisal is a regular review

of an employee's job performance and
overall contribution to a company.
• Companies use performance appraisals to
give employees big-picture feedback on their
work and to justify pay increases and
bonuses, as well as termination decisions.
• They can be conducted at any given time but
tend to be annual, semi-annual or quarterly.

Dr Sunil Kumar 88
Employee Involvement

• The direct participation of staff to

help an organization fulfill its

 Benefits of Employee Involvement

• Improved Morale
• Increased Productivity
• Innovation
• Motivated workforce
• Customer satisfaction
• Improves communication
• Stress reduction

Dr Sunil Kumar 90
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Dr Sunil Kumar 91
 MEANIN
G
• It is a measure of how products and services supplied by a
company meet or surpass the customer’s expectations.
• Customer expectation is the needs, wants, and
preconceived ideas of a customer about a product or a
service.
• If customer expectations are met then the customer is
satisfied. Dr Sunil Kumar 92
 WHO ARE
CUSTOMERS

• Internal Customer : are people, departments, units

and groups within an organization served by what
we do.

• External Customer : are end users of the

organization's product or services depositors,
borrowers, investors, etc.
Dr Sunil Kumar 93
 Why customer satisfaction
• Customer is the boss of the market.
• Customer dictates market trends and direction.
• The organization is dependent on the customer and not the
other way round.
• Customer satisfaction means loyalty towards the organization.
• The satisfied customers will help in bringing the new
customers by the “word of mouth”.
Dr Sunil Kumar 94

 LEVELS OF CUSTOMER
SATISFACTION

1. Basic Needs (Dissatisfiers)

• A service that the costumer takes for granted. He expects it to be present in

the
product.
• Absence of this need will lead to dissatisfaction for the customer but the
presence of it will not lead to any satisfaction as such.

Dr Sunil Kumar 98
• Performance needs (satisfiers)

• It is a need or want of the customer which he

specifically asks for.

• Excitement Needs (delighters)

• A delighter is an unspoken or unexpected requirement

of a customer.
• It leads to very high level of satisfaction or customer
delight.
• Absence of delighters does not result in
customer dissatisfaction while its presence will
enhance customer satisfaction.

 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FACTS

• 5% increase in loyalty can increase profits by 25% to

85%.
• Only 4% of unsatisfied customers will complain.
• An unhappy customer tells 9 other people.
• A happy customers tells to about 5 other people.

 CUSTOMER RETENTION
• Customer satisfaction should lead to customer loyalty and
customer retention.

• This is the real test and bottom line- when the customer repeatedly
comes back to you for repeat orders and to purchase new products
manufactured by you. (In spite of stiff competition and multiple
Suppliers/Sources! )

• Firm orders received or cash payments registered , market share,

customer referrals and customer retention are an indication of your
customer success and penetration

 CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

• Customer feedback must be continually done

and monitored.
It enables an organization to:
• Discover customer’s dissatisfaction
• Discover relative priorities of quality
• Identify customer need
• Determine opportunities for improvement

 How to ensure customer
satisfaction

• Surveys
• Customer feedback
• Comparison with
alternatives
• Employee feedback
• Internet/blogs
• Toll free numbers

 Quality and customer
expectations
• Quality is defined as excellence in the product or service
that fulfil or exceeds the expectations of the customer.
• There are 9 dimensions of quality that may be found in
products that produce customer satisfaction.
• Though quality is an abstract perception, it has a
quantitative measure Q= (P / E ) , where Q=quality,
• P= performance(as measured by the
manufacturer.), and E = expectations( of the
customer).

What is Service Quality Management?

❖ The process of managing the quality of services delivered to a customer according to his
expectations is called Service Quality Management.

❖ It basically assesses how well a service has been given, so as to improve its quality in
the future, identify problems and correct them to increase customer satisfaction.

❖ Service quality management encompasses the monitoring and maintenance of the

varied services that are offered to customers by an organization.

❖ SERVQUAL service quality model is widely known, empirically tested, and

generally accepted definition of quality in the service literature. It highlights the main
components of high quality service.
Dimensions of Service Quality
•Reliability – This is the ability to perform the service dependably and accurately, as promised. In software
service, it would be the correct technical functioning of the application and various features such as GUI
features, billing, product information etc.

•Responsiveness – How quickly the services are rendered to the customer and the promptness of service
delivery. With respect to software services, it would be the ability to respond to customer problems or give
solutions.

•Assurance – This is a measure of the ability to convey trust to the customers and how well they extend the
courtesy. Software assurance involves the amount of confidence the customer has in handling the software
application or navigating a site, the belief he has on the information provided and its clarity, reputation etc.

•Empathy – Giving personalized attention, understanding the requirements and caring for the customers. The
software service would include customized applications, one-to-one customer attention, security privacy and
understanding customer preferences.

•Tangibles – The physical attributes like appearance, equipment, facilities etc. When we speak of software
services, the tangibles would be aesthetics of the software application or website, navigation features,
accessibility, flexibility etc.

QUALITY SERVICE DELIVERY GAPS :

• Gap 1: between consumer expectation and management perception - When the management does
not correctly perceive what the customers want.

• Gap 2: between management perception and service quality specification - Not setting appropriate
performance standard. example would be when hospital administrators instruct nurses to respond to a
request ‘fast’, but may not specify ‘how fast’.

• Gap 3: between service quality specification and service delivery - Poorly trained personnel,
incapable or unwilling to meet the set service standard.

• Gap 4: between service delivery and external communication - Statements made by company
representatives and advertisements.

• Gap 5: between expected service and experienced service - Consumer misinterprets the service
quality.
 Process of service quality management:

Identifying
Managing customer Educating customer
primary quality Managing evidence
expectations about the service
determinants

Following up the Automating quality Developing quality culture

services.
IMPROVING SERVICE QUALITY :

• Look at incorporating the clients’ requirements into the recruitment and selection process.

• Maintain a sensitive and efficient feedback system.

• Establish standard operating procedures.

• Set clear standards of performance detailing the minimum operating criteria and revisit them often.

• Focus on training and retraining, especially on the job.

• Motivate your staff.

• Having a clear concept of the position that you want to occupy in the market place.

• Strong Recovery Strategies.

IMPORTANCE OF SERVICE QUALITY MANAGEMENT:

• Ensures superior, quality products and services.

• Essential for customer satisfaction which eventually leads to customer loyalty

• Helps an organization to design and create a product which the customer actually wants and desires.

• Ensures increased revenues and higher productivity for the organization.

• Ensures close coordination between employees of an organization.

Return on Quality ROQ approach is based on four assumptions:

1. Quality is an investment.

2. Quality efforts must be financially accountable.

3. It’s possible to spend too much on quality.

4. Not all quality expenditures are equally valid .

SOFT AND HARD MEASURES OF SERVICE QUALITY:

• Soft measures—not easily observed, must be collected by talking to customers, employees, or

others
 Provide direction, guidance, and feedback to employees on ways to achieve customer satisfaction
 Can be quantified by measuring customer perceptions and beliefs
 For example: SERVQUAL, surveys, and customer advisory panels .

• Hard measures—can be counted, timed, or measured through audits

 Typically operational processes or outcomes
 Standards often set with reference to percentage of occasions on which a particular measure is
achieved
 Control charts are useful for displaying performance over time against specific quality standards
TOOLS TO ANALYZE AND ADDRESS SERVICE QUALITY PROBLEMS :

❑ Fishbone diagram –

Cause-and-effect diagram to identify potential causes of problems .

❑ Pareto Chart –

Separating the trivial from the important. Often, a majority of problems is caused by a minority of
causes (i.e. the 80/20 rule).

❑ Blueprinting-

Visualization of service delivery, identifying points where failures are most likely to occur
TOOLS TO ANALYZE AND ADDRESS SERVICE QUALITY PROBLEMS :

❑ Total Quality Management (TQM)

❑ ISO 9000
Comprises requirements, definitions, guidelines, and related standards to provide an independent
assessment and certification of a firm’s quality management system

❑ Malcolm Baldrige Model Applied to Services

To promote best practices in quality management, and recognizing, and publicizing quality
achievements among U.S. firms

❑ Six Sigma

• Statistically, only 3.4 defects per million opportunities (1/294,000)

• Has evolved from defect-reduction approach to an overall business-improvement approach

SUMMARY:

❑ Customers evaluate services using five different categories

• Tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy

❑ There are service quality gaps and solutions presented in the Gaps Model

❑ Key tools for measuring and improving productivity are:

• Fishbone diagram
• Pareto Chart

INTRODUCTION OF ISO
An ISO Management Standard is a set of internationally recognised
guidelines, covering key areas of running and managing a business such as:

• Leadership and commitment

• Managing Business Risks and Opportunities
• Resources such as, People and Infrastructure
• Competence
• Communication
• Operational Planning and Control
• Performance Evaluation
• Improvement
Dr Sunil Kumar 123
WHAT IS ISO CERTIFICATION 

• ISO certification is proof from a third party that you comply with an ISO
management standard.
• It can show your key stakeholders that you have a well-run business that
has structure, is stable and ready for growth – this can help with applying
for finance from your bank, impressing potential investors, or eventually
selling.
• To achieve ISO Certification, you have to prove that your business meets
the requirements of the standard.
• Although this sounds intimidating, a lot of the requirements are general
good business practice and we will help you every step of the way.

Dr Sunil Kumar 124

• Once certified, we will help you to continually retain your certification.
• You will be able to contact us for advice whenever you need it and our fees
include on-going consultancy to help keep your systems on track for a
painless re-certification, year after year.

If you answer yes to all or some of the following questions, you should
consider having your business certified:

• Would you like your business to be worth up to 20% more?

• Would you like to be more profitable?
• Are there areas within your business that could be more efficient?
• Would you benefit from reducing costs?
• Are your processes and procedures undocumented?

Dr Sunil Kumar 125

• Could improving customer satisfaction improve your turnover?
• Do you find yourself (or your team) spending time fixing things rather than
planning for a stronger future?
• Do different people do things in their own way?
• Does it take a while for new starters to become productive?
• Would your business benefit from improved staff engagement and
heightened motivation?

ISO 22000 :

Dr Sunil Kumar 139

ISO 22000
• ISO 22000 is a Food Safety Management System that can be applied to any
organization in the food chain, farm to fork. Becoming certified to ISO
22000 allows a company to show their customers that they have a food
safety management system in place.

• This provides customer confidence in the product.

• This is becoming more and more important as customers demand safe food
and food processors require that ingredients obtained from their suppliers to
be safe.

Dr Sunil Kumar 140

What does ISO 22000 require?

• ISO 22000 requires that you build a Food Safety Management System. This
means that you will have a documented system in place and fully
implemented throughout your facility that includes:
• Effective Prerequisite Programs in place to ensure a clean sanitary
environment
• A Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Plan developed to identify, prevent
and eliminate food safety hazards,

• Established documented food safety management system processes to

manage food safety throughout your organization - from management and
business planning aspects to day to day communication and operations
affecting food safety.

Dr Sunil Kumar 141

• The ISO 22000 standard contains the specific requirements to be addressed
by the Food Safety Management System. The standard requires food safety
management system processes including:
• Having an overall Food Safety Policy for your organization, developed by
top management.
• Setting objectives that will drive your companies efforts to comply with
this policy.
• Planning and designing a management system and documenting the system.
• Maintaining records of the performance of the system.
• Establishing a group of qualified individuals to make up a Food Safety
Team.
• Defining communication procedures to ensure effective communication
with important contacts outside the company (regulatory, customers,
suppliers and others) and for effective internal communication.

Dr Sunil Kumar 142

• Having an emergency plan.
• Holding management review meetings to evaluate the performance of the
FSMS.
• Providing adequate resources for the effective operation of the FSMS
including appropriately trained and qualified personnel, sufficient
infrastructure and appropriate work environment to ensure food safety.
• Implementing Prerequisite Programs.
• Following HACCP principles.
• Establishing a traceability system for identification of product.
• Establishing a corrective action system and control of nonconforming
product.

Dr Sunil Kumar 143

• Maintaining a documented procedure for handling withdrawal of product.
• Controlling monitoring and measuring devices.
• Establishing and maintaining and internal audit program.
• Continually updating and improving the FSMS.

Dr Sunil Kumar 144

Dr Sunil Kumar 145
HACCP DEFINITION
• HACCP-Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points

• “Is a systematic approach to the identification and assessment of risk and severity, and
control of biological, chemical and physical hazards associated with a particular food,
production process or practice”

Dr Sunil Kumar 146

HISTORY OF HACCP
Year 1959 Pillsbury developed HACCP system to meet requirements of
“NASA” space program. Modes of failures concepts of US army Natick
Lab. was the basis

Year 1969- Codex Alimantarius - Joint WHO/FAO body published

guidelines for HACCP

Year 1985- Sub committee of National advisory Committee(NAS) developed

report based on HACCP-1985
Year 1989- National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria of
Foods (NACMCF) established guidelines for HACCP
Year 1992- NACMCF redrafted the guidelines based on Codex
Dr Sunil Kumar 147
7 PRINCIPLES OF HACCP

1. Conduct a hazard identification & risk assessment

2. Determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs)

3. Establish critical limits
4. Establish a monitoring system
5. Establish corrective actions

6. Establish verification procedures

7. Establish documentation
Dr Sunil Kumar 148
 PRINCIPLE1: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ASSESSMENT

Hazard Identification/Analysis:
The process of collecting and interpreting information on hazards and conditions leading to their presence to
decide which are significant for food safety
RISK ASSESSMENT

 PRINCIPLE 2. Determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs)

Control Point; A step where control can be applied to prevent, eliminate or reduce a food safety
hazard to acceptable levels.

Control Measure; Any activity that can be used to prevent , eliminate or reduce to an acceptable level a food safety hazard

CRITICAL CONTROL POINT

step at which control can be applied and is essential to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard or reduce it
to an acceptable level
 Determine the CCPs :
Modify Step
Is control at this
Q1. Are Control Measures Process or step

Yes Critical
Q4. Will a Subsequent Process Control
Step eliminate or reduce the Point (CCP)
Hazard to an acceptable level ?
Yes No CCP
Not a CCP
 PRINCIPLE 3; ESTABLISH CRITICAL LIMIT(S) :

• Establish target levels and tolerance which must be

met to ensure each CCP is under control
• Specify the criteria which MUST be met to ensure that
each hazard (which makes a Process Step a CCP) is in
“control”.
• E.g. Heating Temperature and time
• Double seaming effectiveness
 PRINCIPLE 4 : ESTABLISH A MONITORING SYSTEM

• Establish a monitoring system to ensure control of the CCP by scheduled testing or

observations.
• Establish target levels and tolerance which must be met to ensure each CCP is under
control.
• Monitoring Procedures:
• What?
• When?
• Where?
• How?
• Who?
 PRINCIPLE 5: ESTABLISH CORRECTIVE ACTION

Establish the corrective action to be taken when monitoring indicates that a particular CCP is not
under control.

Establish corrective action, when a CCP is moving out of control.

Adjust the process to bring back under control
Action plan for non conforming material
 PRINCIPLE 6; ESTABLISH VERIFICATION PROCEDURES
Establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working effectively

Establish Verification Procedures, consisting of:

- Verification of Monitoring
- Verification of Corrective Action
Make practical plans for checking whether the
HACCP Plan is working or not.
 PRINCIPLE 7: ESTABLISH DOCUMENTATION

Establish documentation concerning all procedures and records appropriate to these principles and
their application
 Quality Terminologies
Every quality professional needs a handy reference of
quality terms, acronyms and key people in the history of
quality. This glossary—which includes many updated and
revised terms, along with nearly 50 new entries—derives
from a variety of sources, including books, periodicals,
websites and quality experts. The new entries are set off
with the word "NEW!" in front of the new term.

sampling inspection, is the limit of a satisfactory process average.

Dr Sunil Kumar 160

04
Acceptance sampling
Inspection of a sample from a lot to decide whether to accept that lot.
There are two types: attributes sampling and variables sampling. In
attributes sampling, the presence or absence of a characteristic is noted in
each of the units inspected. In variables sampling, the numerical
magnitude of a characteristic is measured and recorded for each inspected
unit; this involves reference to a continuous scale of some kind.

Dr Sunil Kumar 161

05
Acceptance sampling plan

A specific plan that indicates the sampling sizes and associated acceptance
or nonacceptance criteria to be used. In attributes sampling, for example,
there are single, double, multiple, sequential, chain and skip-lot sampling
plans. In variables sampling, there are single, double and sequential
sampling plans..

Cost of poor quality (COPQ)
The costs associated with providing poor quality products or services.
There are four categories: internal failure costs (costs associated with
defects found before the customer receives the product or service),
external failure costs (costs associated with defects found after the
customer receives the product or service), appraisal costs (costs incurred to
determine the degree of conformance to quality requirements) and
prevention costs (costs incurred to keep failure and appraisal costs to a
minimum). Dr Sunil Kumar 167
11
Cost of quality (COQ)

COPQ but is considered by others to be unique. While the two concepts
emphasize the same ideas, some disagree as to which concept came first
and which categories are included in each.

Dr Sunil Kumar 168

12
Equipment availability

The percentage of time during which a process (or equipment) is available
