Quality Time Line Pre-Industrial
Revolution – Quality controlled by individual craftsmen who were involved in all aspects of product.
1875
– Mass production and the notion of division of labor – F.W. Taylor’s principles of scientific management G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 1
Quality Time Line 1925
– Walter Shewhart of Bell Labs introduces statistical process control 1930
– Dodge and Romig of Bell Labs introduce acceptance sampling methods

Quality Time Line
1945 – American Society for Quality Control
1950 – W. Edwards Deming develops a statistically based approach to continuous quality improvement – Deming does not get the attention of US management, but is readily accepted in Japan
1951 – Joseph M. Juran publishes his Quality Control Handbook, still in use as a reference many editions later G. Baker, Department of Statistics
University of South Carolina; Slide 3

Quality Time Line 1980
– US management begins to accept Deming’s approach to continuous improvement – Taguchi’s approach to product design, while initially ignored in Japan, is embraced by Ford Motor Company 1990
– TQM – Total Quality Management – QFD – Quality Function Deployment – Six Sigma G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 4
Quality Management in the US 1930-1970 Product Control is the Approach: Use of statistical sampling of process output to determine ppm. Acceptance sampling Quality Department is the Watchdog Separation of Quality and Production Departments Problem solving consists mainly of Firefighting. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 5
Quality Management in the US 1980’s American
manufacturers strive to regain competitive position.
Start
to use statistical process control to understand process variation and reduce it.
Importance
of root causes is recognized. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 6

Quality Management in the US 1990’s Quality
is everyone’s responsibility – TQM - Push quality issue upstream to marketing, product design, engineering, production, etc. – Quality Function Deployment – translate needs of customer’s into products – Six Sigma - disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects in any process. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 8
Frederick Winslow Taylor 1884: became an executive at the Midville Steel company 1898: began to work for the Bethlehem Iron Company 1903: devised the concept for the Assembly Line 1856 - 1915
1911: introduced Scientific Management, including time studies, work standards and wage incentives. G. Baker, Department of Statistics
University of South Carolina; Slide 9

Walter Shewhart 1925 – started at Bell Labs. 1931 – first addresses the use of control charts as a means of detecting and eliminating sources of variation that are not inherent to the process in
1891 - 1967
Economic Control of Quality of Manufactured Product.
G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 10
Walter Shewhart Shewhart’s
control chart principles
– Process measurements are consistently taken over time – Data plots over time aid in converting numbers into information – Distinction between on-going variations and episodic variations support decisions about correction and improvement of processes G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 11

Acceptance
Sampling
– System of lot by lot inspection of inprocess and finished goods – AQL (acceptable quality level) is a by product Target level of defective material G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 13

W. Edwards Deming Eminent
American Statistician in the 1930’s and 1940’s Brought statistical thinking and methods to Japan after WWII; to the US in the 1970’s How to put quality improvement on an institutional basis rather than a department basis Obligations and responsibilities of management spelled out in his “14 Points”. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 15

W. Edwards Deming – 14 Points (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
Create constancy of purpose for the improvement of product or service Adopt the new philosophy Cease dependence on mass inspection End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag Improve constantly Institute more thorough training Institute leadership G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 16
W. Edwards Deming – 14 Points (8) Drive out fear (9) Break down barriers between departments (10) Eliminate slogans and targets (11) Eliminate work standards (12)Remove the barriers that rob employees of their right to pride in workmanship (13) Institute programs of education and self-improvement (14) Put everybody to work to accomplish the transformation
G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 17
Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle Discipline
used in process study Act – implement change if appropriate
Check impacts of proposed change
Plan for a change needed to improve process Do – test change on small scale, collect data G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 18

G. Taguchi Rather than detecting defects, let’s design quality into the product right from the beginning (“an ounce of prevention…”)
1924 -
Design a product/process the performance of which is insensitive to noise G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 19
