Case Study

Organisations everywhere are growing increasingly conscious of the competitive potential of quality. Quality has become an issue because standards are now contractually defined whereas previously, they were vague and unmonitored. Competition focusses not only on price but quality. In the present economic and political climate, even higher standards are demanded in the face of diminishing resources.

Despite widespread awareness of the importance of quality, many US companies still struggle to integrate quality into their management efforts. The quality movement has resulted in many successes, but also in many failures. When a quality initiative fails, it is generally because of poor management, not the soundness of principles. Even though skeptics will continue to criticise the value and impact of quality management, the principles of quality will remain the foundation of high-performance management systems. Quality will have to be everywhere, integrated into all aspects of a successful organisation. Quality professionals, meanwhile, “will need the business and functional skills in design, manufacturing and marketing to better contribute to their organization’s long-term success. Embracing quality at that level and to that degree is the only way to compete successfully in the digital age”.
