...Summary of Key Points and Terminology - Chapter 2 • Quality management had its roots in manufacturing during the 1980s; soon after, service providers, health care, education, nonprofit, and government organizations began to study and implement quality management approaches. • A system is a set of functions or activities within an organization that work together for the aim of the organization. Systems thinking is critical in applying quality principles because the organizational linkages among various functions of an organization must be in alignment to meet the needs of customers and other stakeholders. • Quality in manufacturing has traditionally focused on such technical issues as reliability, inspection, defect measurement, and process control. Quality plays an important role in each component of a manufacturing firm’s production and business-support systems. All are linked together as a system of processes that support the organization’s objectives. • Service – which is “any primary or complementary activity that does not directly product a physical product – that is, the non-goods part of the transaction between buyer (customer) and seller (provider)”represents the dominant sector of the U.S. economy today. The differences between services and manufacturing require different approaches in designing and implementing quality assurance programs. The two key components of service quality are employees and information technology. • The health...

...Needs Assessment for Quality In order for a hospital to survive the competition in today’s healthcare world, a hospital must be aware of opportunities to grow and reduce costs and be supported by Total Quality Management Process. The TQM process helps the hospital to create new products, ensure the standards of quality and client satisfaction and deliver improved services. In addition, the TQM process also helps in improving a company's bottom line profits by increasing operating efficiencies, eliminating waste, and creating working conditions conductive to productivity and company growth. The employees must work in healthy environments, which maximizes their efficiencies and enables them to perform at their best levels. In both the short-term and long-term, the quality improvement process pushes the company from different angles to achieve strategic goals and plans. One of the important processes of patient care is proper medical documentation and updated medical records.

...The Role of Stakeholders in a Quality Process ****** ********** MGT/420 March 25, 2013 ****** *******, ***, ****, **** The Role of Stakeholders in a Quality Process Stakeholders seek wealth from a company. Employees receive wealth through compensation, safe working environments, and advancement opportunities. Customers receive wealth through obtaining a product worth more than it costs them to obtain. Other stakeholders receiving wealth from a company may include shareholders, lenders, suppliers, communities, and governments (Susniene & Vanagas, 2006). Each relationship a company has with a stakeholder will influence its quality management process. Prime examples of stakeholder influence in a quality process can be found in production and food service environments. Twincraft Soap recognizes the importance of building a trusting relationship with its most important stakeholders. Denny’s acknowledges the advantages of well-trained employees. Twincraft (2013) has created the “Customer Centric Approach [where] every Twincraft customer is assigned a dedicated team consisting of a Director of Business Development, a Formulator, an Account Manager and a Packaging Specialist” (para. 1). The company customizes this team built around the customers’ specific product needs. This approach keeps the customers closely involved in the development of their products. Customers will not call Twincraft to order a product and not be heard from again until they receive the shipment...

...Continuous improvement -Demming theory Deming theory Dr. W. Edwards Deming developed a method for the quality improvement process. He believed that the identification and correction of defects after production is not effective. The quality issue is critical to address before production rather than after production (Doherty, 2003). Along with this, it is identified that quality control issues arise due to poor management. If the processes are in place, their performance can be measured and changes can be made to improve the quality of products and process. For the continuous improvement, employee involvement is necessary. So, it is important to use highly effective techniques for continuous improvement in the workplace. According to Deming theory, the job of management is neither to assess employee output numerically nor to inspect product quality after production. But the management is responsible to create a production process and organizational culture that encourages employees for quality work (Gitlow, 2000). Deming proposed 14 principles of management such as: Develop constancy of purpose for improvement in products and services Adopt a new philosophy of economy Stop dependence on inspection to gain quality of products and services End the practice of awarding business according to the price tag. Improve the production system and quality to reduce costs Provide on the job training (Gitlow, 2000). Adopt new methods of leadership and supervision Drive...

...Total Quality Management (TQM) There are always great opportunities to improve the performance of healthcare in organizations. In today’s economy, coupled with overwhelming changes in healthcare policy, requires solid, on-going performance improvement in healthcare. What does that mean? It means healthcare providers at every level must examine their organizations from the most strategic level on down to the simplest routine process for opportunities to streamline, improve and optimize the care given and the costs associated with that care. I will later discuss three big ideas in order based on their greatest potential benefit in the healthcare organization which includes total quality management, outsourcing, and customer relationship management. Quality improvement in health care has developed gradually as emerging ideas have been explored and implemented within various clinical and non-clinical settings. One of the more recent methods of quality improvement which has been introduced into healthcare organizations is Six Sigma. Six Sigma is a rigorous set of processes and techniques to measure, improve, and control the quality of care and service based on what is important to the customer (Liberatore, Page 440). The goal of this approach is to bring procedures to defect-free levels by trying to eliminate variation in processes. Defects are seen as any factors which lead to customer dissatisfaction. Many processes in healthcare require a near-zero tolerance for error, especially...
