Implementing quality
management education
In Japan, Honda offers a training curriculum
divided into four courses according to in-house
qualifications and the extent of individual
workers' quality control responsibilities in order
to improve associates' quality assurance skills.
The Honda QC Basic Course (HBC), which was
first offered 40 years ago, provides an example of
how Honda is working to train its personnel to be
leaders in improving quality.
CONCLUSION
Honda operates a TQM system. Its philosophy is to push quality
back to the supplier, expecting the products to arrive defect free to
Hondas defined level. But this wont ever stop the company from
checking.
With the tolerances and the complexity of some of the components,
weve found that some suppliers are not always able to guarantee
meeting our specs so we rely heavily on inspection. For the more
critical components, particularly safety critical components, we
carry out 100% inspection, says Honda.
