For undergraduate and graduate Quality Management courses.
Understanding quality management through a unifying framework.
Managing Quality is a comprehensive introduction to the field of quality management that presents a supply chain theme as the unifying framework for quality improvement.
The fourth edition has been updated to keep topic coverage on the cutting edge.
Supply Chain as a Unifying Theme.
Today’s firms are more focused than ever on improving supply chain performance. Since quality management is key to improvement, a unifying supply chain theme is presented throughout the text. This theme bridges the gap between the fundamentals of quality management with new developments such as Six Sigma and service quality, helping students understand what is important to businesses today.
Integrative Approach.
This text’s integrative approach discusses what “quality” means in different functional areas of the firm. Through this approach students will see that quality is not owned by any specific area of the business—every part of an organization needs to work together in order to achieve customer satisfaction.
Contingency Approach.
Because there isn’t one, perfect solution that companies can use to improve quality, this text uses a contingency approach to show students how to assess the current position of the firm and identify an effective strategy for improvement based on a profound understanding of the company, market, and customers. This contingency approach is introduced in Chapter 1 and is touched upon through the rest of the text.
Highlights of the Fourth Edition.
In addition to several updates and enhancements, this text includes:
o Avoiding quality fads
o Internet customer service
o Measuring educational performance
o Reducing medical failures
o Government service quality
