Bill Ford basically utilized parts of the basic control process as a method by which to improve operations at Ford Motor Co., but hasn’t fully embraced each element to its fullest potential. The four elements of the control process are establishing standards, measuring performance, comparing performance against standards, and evaluating results. Ford established standards throughout the company’s operations to cut costs in order to address the losses Ford had been incurring. His top priority was to adjust his management team so that the company was run more vertically, from the top down.

...Chapter - 1 Concept of Quality and TQM Dr. Shyamal Gomes “Quality is not an art, it is a habit” - Aristotle Introduction: Till 300 years ago, people used the power of their own muscles, animals or the force of wind and flowing water to do all works. With the invention of the ‘steam engine’ they got a powerful method of running their machines. This provided a tremendous boost to Industry. Goods started getting produced in larger quantities using machines. This led to the beginning of the factory system. The significant change from handmade goods to machine-made goods, which began in Britain in 18th century, is known as the Industrial Revolution. Why it was called Revolution? Because of the large scale changes it brought about our economy, society and culture. IR soon spread to other nation like Germany, France, Portugal. As these countries became industrialised, they needed two things: 1. Raw materials for manufacturing and 2. New markets to sell the goods they made. They found both raw materials as well as new markets to sell their goods in the nonindustrialised countries of Asia and Africa. So they started annexing to meet the needs of their new factories. Soon they became jealous of each other, and wanted their own empires to grow. They started fighting among themselves. This finally led to a great war in which several nations of the world were involved. It came to be known as World War- I (August 1914-1918). Millions of soldiers and other people were killed or wounded...

...Case Study of the Causes of Problems in the Greasex Line of a Company and the Possible Quality Improvement Steps In the high-technology sector, the Greasex line is specialized in manufacturing solvents packed in cans for degreasing. Nonetheless, the company had experienced some trouble with the new filling equipment. The main problem was the presence of high-pressure beyond the required upper specified limit in some second shift cans. However, these problems as identified from the case study are related to several areas. They include personnel such as the newly assigned operator from a different department. He lacked formal training and was also negligent as he was absent from his position of operation during the process. Moreover, Mac Evans; the line supervisor, after picking and tagging the cases as “hold”, went on his duties and did not supervise their progress. Although vetted by hand by Wayne Simmons, the first-line supervisor, they could still be of low quality and pose safety threats to the customers. In addition, the machinery used was not initially designed to handle the process involving lower viscosity of Greasex, lacked preventive maintenance schedule. The appropriate equipment, which is the special filling head for the process, had been poorly and haphazardly adjusted. Materials used in production such as plastic nozzle can heads were designed on a rush order by a vendor and, therefore, had slight burrs on the inside rims causing fitting problems. They had...

Summary 6. Conclusion Abstract The quality problem is one of the most actual problems in the world now and interest in it is growing steadily. This is due to the fact that the quality of products determines the priorities in the market, economic security and provides a sustainable development of the environment, human health and welfare. The intention to stimulate the production of goods competitive on international markets has initiated the emergence of a new organization-wide method of continuous quality, production and processes improvement. This method is called Total Quality Management (TQM). And when talking about the quality systems and methods to improve it, it is impossible to bypass it. In the nearest future those countries that can provide not only the highest productivity of social labor, but also high quality and competitiveness of their national industry products will be in a better position. And this is a direct path to a prosperous economy and a decent standard of living. 1. The concept and nature of TQM “We are moving into an economy, where the greatest value is in the recipes rather than the cakes” (Charles Leadbeater, Living on thin air) Most analysts give this definition of TQM - “Total Quality Management...
