Quality costing for total quality management

Article Abstract:

Quality related costs can seriously undermine an organization's competitive nature. With a total quality management (TQM) programme, process improvement and elimination of waste are better controlled. However, quality costing is necessary to provide Senior Management with a concrete basis for adopting a TQM approach. The failure of the P-A-F model of quality costing to focus on processes reflects its unsuitability for TQM evaluation. Process Cost Models, on the other hand, emphasize process improvement and attempt to quantify the cost of conformance and the cost of nonconformance. This technique for quality costing highlights a total compatability with TQM.

The management and organisational context of new product development: diagnosis and self-assessment

Article Abstract:

A five-part categorization of issues and influences related to new product development was formulated. The newly formed five-part categorization, which includes business practices and stakeholder, specifically tries to determine factors influencing the success of a design project in connection to tangible performance measures such as lateness. A self-assessment methodology was also created to determine performance symptoms, as well as their management and organization causes.
