4. Definitions of Quality - How would you
measure each of these?
4
Viewpoint → Focus
Transcendent → Excellence
Product-based → Numerous product
attributes
User-based → Fitness for intended use
Value-based → Quality vs. price
Manufacturing
-based
→ Conformance to
specifications
5. Quality Management Systems
“A set of co-ordinated activities to
direct and control an organisation in
order to continually improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of its
performance.”

6. What is the difference between a
system and a process?
• A system is the overall “thing”, or a core
element, you're looking to have and/or
implement in your business. ...
The processes are all the things you do
in order to make any given system work
most efficiently.
7. A Quality Management System
• to define the processes, which will result in the
production of quality products and services,
The point of a QMS is
• To detect defective products or services after
they have been produced.

8. Benefits of a Good QMS
The QMS prevents good practices in
the business from “slipping”
• Ensures that the customers’ and the organisation’s requirements are
met.
• Set direction and meet customers’ expectations
• Improves process control
• Reduces wastage
• Lower costs
• Increases market share
• Facilitates training
• Involves staff
• Raises morale
8
10. Standards for QMS
• ISO 9000 family of standards
– consists of standards and guidelines relating to
quality management systems and related supporting
standards.
• ISO 9001:2015 is the standard that provides a set of
standardised requirements for a QMS.
10
12. ISO9001:2015
• Why implement ISO 9001:2015
– It takes a systematic approach to managing the organization's
processes to satisfy customers' expectations.
• How the ISO 9001:2015 model works
– Specifies the requirements your quality system must meet,
but not how they should be met.
• Checking that it works - the organisation:
1. must audit itself to check that it is fully in control of its activities.
2. may invite its clients to audit the quality system
3. may engage an independent certified auditor to obtain a
certificate of conformity.

15. ISO9001:2015 Video
• See the Units section of the ENGM116
CANVAS site Session 4 (Just below Lec
4_1 and video of session 4_1)
• Watch the Video QMS – ISO9001
16. Setting up a QMS
• A QMS must ensure that the products/services
conform to
– customer needs and expectations, and
– the objectives of the organisation.
• Issues:
– Design, Build & Deploy
– Control
– Measure
– Review
– Improve

17. Quality Management Principles of
ISO 9001:2008/2015
1. Customer focused organisation
2. Leadership
3. Involvement of people
4. Process approach
5. Systems approach to management
6. Continual improvement
7. Factual approach to decision making
8. Mutually beneficial supplier relationship
17
18. Audits, reviews and assessments
• The generic steps involved in an audit are:
– Initiation: Scope, Frequency
– Preparation: Review of documentation, The programme,
Working documents
– Execution: Opening meeting, Examination and
evaluation, Collecting evidence. Observations, Close the
meeting with the one being audited.
– Report: Preparation, Content, Distribution,
– Completion: Report, Submission, Retention

21. The link between TQM & EFQM
Excellence Model
• TQM aims to embed total quality into all aspects of an organisation:
– From the social to the technical
• How is this assessed?
– There are a number of models for this in practice, such as:
• The USA’s Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award
(MBNQA)
• The European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM)
Excellence Model
• Research has shown that the EFQM Model captures the main
assumptions involved in the TQM concept.
– See for instance (Bou-Llusar et al, 2009)
21
22. Nine Assessment Criteria
(each has further sub-criteria)
• Enabler criteria (how the organisation approaches “Excellence”).
– Leadership
– Policy and Strategy
– People
– Partnerships and Resources
– Processes
• Results criteria (what the organisation has achieved for its
stakeholders).
– Customer Results
– People Results
– Society Results
– Key Performance Results
22
23. Self Assessment against EFQM’s
Excellence Model
Based on the simple PDCA cycle
• Determine the Results based on organisation’s
policy and strategy
• Plan and develop integrated Approaches
• Deploy the approaches
• Assess and
• Review these approaches, to identify, prioritise,
plan and implement improvements
23
24. Assessment
• Is a team activity
• Involves scoring each sub-criteria
– Based on identified strengths and improvement
opportunities
• Calculating overall score
– (maximum 1000 points)
– An organisation new to TQM might score around
200-300 points
– an award winner should score around 700 points.
24
25. Approaches to self-assessment
• Several approaches can be used including:
– Discussion group/workshop methods
– Surveys, questionnaires and interviews
– Proformas
– Organisational self-analysis matrices
– An award simulation
– Activity or process audits
– Hybrid approaches of the above
25
26. When to self-assess
Before starting an
improvement
programme,
• possibly in parallel with a
“cost of quality” exercise
As part of a
programme launch
Every one or two
years to steer and
monitor progress.

30. Preparation for Next Week
Review and revise all sessions covered so far on
this module (both Quality and Human Factors)
Why? Are you competitive?
Next week (in the ENGM116 tutorials) there will be
a quiz on quality.

31. There will now be a short
comfort break (10 min) before
lecture 4_2.
33. The 6 Most Common Mistakes Students Make
1. Failure to check against the assignment brief
2. Work that is predominantly descriptive rather than critical
(including stitching studies together)
3. Incorrect citation/referencing format
- Use of inconsistent citation style
- mixing numeric with Harvard Referencing
System
4. Incorrect format/content to intro and/or
conclusion
5. Lack of attention to detail (mistakes dilute quality of work)
6. Use of personal terms
