In the 1970s‚ Deming’s philosophy was summarized by some of his Japanese proponents with the following ’a’-versus-’b’ comparison: (a) When people and organizations focus primarily on quality‚ defined by the following ratio‚ \text{Quality} = \frac{\text{Results of work efforts}}{\text{Total costs}} quality tends to increase and costs fall over time. (b) However‚ when people and organizations focus primarily on costs‚ costs tend to rise and quality declines over time. The first step is transformation

theories. Edwards Deming and Joseph Juran are most responsible for the development of TQM. Deming and Juran began work on TQM in the 1930s and continued shaping the management model into the 1990s. During the 1930s‚ Deming and Juran studied with Walter Shewhart who developed Statistical Quality Control (SQC) theory. SQC argued that “as quality improves‚ costs go down and productivity increases.” SQC provided for continuous improvement of quality and productivity by using statistics to identify areas

Integrating SPC and EPC Methods for Quality Improvement. Abstract: This term paper are mainly based on the research paper‚ which was written by Wei Jiang and John V. Farr. Process variations are classified into common cause and assignable cause variations in the manufacturing and services industries. Firstly‚ the authors pointed out attention‚ that Common cause variations are inherent in a process and can be described implicitly or explicitly by stochastic methods. Assignable cause variations are
