Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the few English language texts devoted to the subject of quality costing. The material is based on research work carried out by the authors at the Manchester School of Managememt, UMIST, over the last nine years or so. The research has been mainly in manufac turing organizations but work has also been conducted in non-manufac turing concerns (e. g. marketing and service operations, and commerce). The book will provide managers with sound practical advice on how to define, collect, analyse, report and use quality costs. The text covers all the main aspects of quality costing and an attempt has been made to structure the book in the sequence by which organizations should set about a quality costing exercise. The book opens by examining the background of quality costing. This is followed by chapters on definitions of quality costs, collection of quality costs, analysis and reporting of quality costs, and the uses of quality costs. Examples from manufacturing organizations and non manufacturing situations are used throughout the first five chapters to illustrate the key points discussed in the text. The next four chapters are case studies which provide considerable detail on quality costing in companies from the mechanical and electronics industries. To preserve anonymity the companies are not referred to by name.

Download or read book Pricing health services Transaction cost approach written by Monika Raulinajtys-Grzybek and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study is the result of the research on the transaction costs of the pricing of health services. Due to the fact that the regulations in terms of pricing include activities that lead to price-setting of a good (health service), costs associated with these activities should be treated as transaction costs. According to the assumptions of classical economics, the price should be set at the intersection of the supply and demand curve under the assumption of full information and rationality of market participants. The primary objective of the study is to identify the transaction costs occurring during the pricing of health services (and relate these cost to the institutional environment and the organization of pricing transaction) and characterize the factors that affect the level of transaction costs – to present the force and direction of the relationship between each of the factors and the level of transaction costs. An additional objective of this study is to link the conclusions about the level of transaction costs to the conclusions regarding the accuracy of the cost-based pricing in health care. The accuracy of the pricing system is related to the degree to which the price structure reflects the actual cost structure of the health services. The institutional approach will add up to the existing research on the importance of cost information for the pricing of health services. The empirical part of the work was carried out based on the analysis of primary and secondary sources. Its aim was to present how pricing is organized in seventeen countries selected.

Download or read book Positive Quality Management for a Change written by Gottfried Giritzer and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who needs quality management? And what does it do for a company? Quality management helps companies be effective and efficient. Internal processes, services, products - all this and much more can be improved by it. Gottfried Giritzer is an accomplished quality manager and is well-versed in all facets of his field. Yet, he had no interest in writing a dry technical book. Instead, his protagonist Graham Gishler recounts his personal experiences. Not difficult to guess that the inventive quality manager Gishler holds some of the same autobiographical traits as the author. Equipped with common sense, Gishler sets about introducing a few improvements at a manufacturer of electronic devices. More by accident than planned, and eyed with much suspicion, Gishler and his few fellow colleagues, head down the stony path that will lead to systematic quality management. They are driven by curiosity and enjoy their journey through uncharted territory. And their pioneer spirit is rewarded ... By regarding the management system as a sensible guideline that should be used to ensure the global optimum of the company, he is able to find acceptance among all employees. He also finds it helpful to combine multiple guideline systems, such as environmental, safety and quality management within an integrated management system - especially when it is applied intelligently and fairly simply. Although the story is full of experiences, it is mainly a fictional one. Narrative freedom allows the author to incorporate anecdotes and irony to show how management can cheerfully and unknowingly end up on the wrong path. This book is meant to assist employees and management working in the field of quality management, as well as in any other area of a company. Because the following holds true: not only can you learn from your mistakes, but from your success as well.

The concluding part of the book cites several examples of practical implementation of TQM principles and practices in various manufacturing and service sectors of the Indian industry, providing elaboration and analysis of each case study. The book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of management as well as students of most engineering disciplines. It can also be used by the industries as a valuable guide to continuous improvement and implementation of a world-class management system in line with the TQM principles and practices.
