Class Activity
• 10 groups – 3 students• Production worker• Inspector 1 stands behind the worker• Inspector 2 manages the specification criteria• Recorder reporting measurements
![Page 3: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Setup
• Quality target = 10• Worker shoots 10 times (production of 10
units)• Rs 10 is the cost if shot outside the spec

Questions
• What are the sources of variability?• How could variability be reduced• Are the specifications and processes capable?• Who is more accurate• Who is most precise• Who generated the minimum loss using the
specifications?• Who scored the best?
![Page 7: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Taguchi Methods: Example
• Company C received an average of 10 complaints per month last year. In November they received 15 complaints (y). Management sets an acceptable level at 2 (tolerance).
• It costs the company Rs.500 directly per complaint to correct the problems. They also determined the cost in lost sales to be Rs. 1000. Thus, the total cost to correct complaints equals Rs. 1500
![Page 8: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Characteristics of the Company
• Customer satisfaction– Quality loss as loss to society quantified through
“Quality Loss Function”– Variations from optimal measure results in a loss
• Product Design– Equipment: No breakdowns– Specific jobs defined– Policies and Procedures – know-how
![Page 9: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Formulae
• L(y) = k(y-m)2
L(y) = Loss
k = constant = cost to correct
tolerance2
y = reported valuem = mean value (average)
![Page 10: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Calculation
k = Rs1500/22 = Rs375.0
L(y) = 375.0 (15-10)2
= 375.0 (5)2
= 375.0 (25)= Rs. 9375.0 is loss for the month
of November

Characteristics of Taguchi Methods
• Broadly, purpose of Taguchi methods is quality improvement and control
• An ideal situation should be known in terms of costs, sales, demand or supply
• But mostly are used during development of product/service designs and supporting variations
• Aim is to determine errors by identifying variations (or quality loss)
• Variations between ideal and existing must be reduced
![Page 12: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Concept of Quality Loss
• Use of statistical analysis for quantification• Used as a quality control tool to quantify
quality during experiments and trial-errors especially in R&D
• Aims to reduce product variability with a system for developing specifications and designing them into a product or process.

Criticism
• Constant??• Ideal??• Mostly considered in designing aspect… But is
it good??
![Page 14: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Learning curve
… is based on the principle that all jobs are performed more efficiently as greater experience is gained in respective jobs – A book by Gopalakrishnan titled, “Purchasing and Materials Management”
• Did you try different ways of flipping coins?• Which ways worked or didn’t work?• What would have been ideal?
![Page 15: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Learning Curve: Meaning
• Originally developed by T.P. Wright in 1936• Graphical representation of changing rate of learning • Rate of learning is measured on people, tools and
processes but mostly people• Related to time or cost or performance• Affects individuals and the organisation
![Page 16: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Learning Curve: Measurement
Y = aXb
Log Y = log a + b log XY = the cumulative average time (or cost) per unitX = the cumulative number of units produceda = time (or cost) required to produce the first unitb = slope of the function (log of learning rate/log of 2)
![Page 17: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Learning Curve
![Page 18: Total Quality Management – Class Activity Prepared by: Bhakti Joshi Date: January 16, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dd25503460f94ac82dc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Interpretation of the curve
• 80% or 0.8 is the learning factor (‘b’)• If the learning is 80%, then to produce the 2nd
unit of the product will take only 80% of the time of the first unit and the 3rd unit will take 80% of the time of the second unit and so on….

Interpretation of Formula
• When ‘b’ reaches unity, implies learning is slower
• ‘b’ is generally higher for labour-intensive work and lower for capital-intensive
• For most labour-intensive manufacturing ‘b’ ranges from 70% – 90%
• Could be considered for bargaining contractual wages and costs

Learning Curve: Application and Effects• Labour efficiency: Learning short-cuts, more dexterous,
becoming confident, less errors• Standardisation, specialisation and methods
improvements: Standardised methods leading to efficiency• Technology-driven learning• Better use of equipment• Changes in resource mix• Product redesign• Network building and use-cost reductions• Shared experience effects
