Juran: Quality Trilogy: Oriented Processes
Trilogy
Managing for quality consists of three basic qualityoriented processes:
quality planning,
quality improvement.
The role of quality planning is to design a process that
will be able to meet established goals under
operating conditions.
The role of quality control is to operate and when
necessary correct the process so that it performs
with optimal effectiveness.
The role of quality improvement is to devise ways to
take the process to unprecedented levels of
performance.

1. Quality Planning
Quality planning stems from a unity of purpose
that spans all functions of an organization.
The subject of planning can be anything -- an
engineering process for designing new
products, a production process for making
goods, or a service process for responding to
customer requests.
Quality Planning involves
Identifying customers, both internal and external
Determining their needs
Specifying the product features that satisfy those needs at
minimum cost.
Designing the processes that can reliably produce those
features.
Proving that the process can achieve its goals under
operating conditions.

Zero defects, Quality is
free
Quality means conformance to
requirements.
The real costs of quality are the costs
of non-conformance (such as
rework, scrap, and warranty costs).
Do it right the first time and we
avoid these costs, thereby improving
profitability.

Probability Distributions
The histogram of a probabilistic process
over an infinite number of observations is
considered to be a probability distribution
Example:
Expectation
Another Example
Sampling Distributions
(The Central Limit Theorem)
Regardless of the underlying
distribution, if the sample is
large enough (>30), the
distributions will be normally
distributed around the
population mean with a
standard deviation of :
s / n
Example:
Consider rolling a fair die 30
times recording the value each
time. If you repeat this say
1000 times, the mean of the
sampling distribution will be
close to the mean of the
population (3.5) and the and the
standard deviation will be close
to 1.71/(30) .5 = 1.71
