MANAGEMENT
EVOLUTION
 It was during the time when Japan faced
criticism that its citizens were largely illiterate,
and its products were known to be of low quality.
 By the end of the 1960s, Japan completely flipped
its narrative and became known as one of the
most efficient export countries, with some of the
most admired products. The effective quality
management resulted in better products that
could be produced at a cheaper price.
INTRODUCTION
Quality is the value perceived by the customer.
Quality may be defined as the totality of
features and characteristics of a product or
service that bears on its ability to satisfy the
customer i.e.
Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service is consistent. It has four main components:
Components of Quality management
Quality planning:
•A Quality Plan helps you
schedule all of the tasks
needed to make sure that
your project meets the
needs of your customer. It
often includes the resources
that will be used, the steps
needed to complete the
project and any other
specifications.
Quality Assurance:
•QA refers to the assurance
to customers that the
products, parts, components
tools etc contain specified
characteristics and are fit for
the intended use. Teams of
inspectors are employed to
examine, measure or test a
product and compare it with
product standard.
Inspection is conducted at
various stages of
manufacture such as
incoming material, semi
finished and finished goods.
Quality Control:
• Quality control (QC) is a
procedure or set of
procedures intended to
ensure that a manufactured
product or performed
service adheres to a defined
set of quality criteria or
meets the requirements of
the client or customer.
Quality Improvement:
•QI is the process of
collecting and using valid
data to: understand the
current level of quality,
identify gaps between actual
quality and expected quality
for that setting, introduce
changes in the care system
(affecting inputs and
processes of care), and
frequently measuring the
effect of those changes on
health outcomes and system
performance.
