This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you looking for a quality system that drives great experiences for your consumers - and your staff? ‘Create a Great Quality System In Six Months: A blueprint for building the foundations of a great consumer experience’ is a step by step, month by month blueprint for building and implementing a quality system that staff will want to use to create a great consumer experience for every person, every time. The ‘3P’ quality system blueprint is based on the literature, applied research and real world experience that formed the basis of my first book ‘The Strategic Quality Manager’. It builds in buy-in: instead of developing your quality system and then starting on the long journey to gaining staff co-operation, ‘Create a Great Quality System’ does both at once – merging quality mechanics with quality mindsets to achieve great results for consumers. CGQS is primarily written for health and aged care, but the principles and steps apply equally to other service industries such as education and hospitality.

Download or read book The Executive Guide to Implementing Quality Systems written by Peter Mears and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-08-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting an unusual and unique system for Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), this new book is geared for executives who want or need to support quality improvement in their organizations. It is the contributions made by CEO's and upper management that moves the quality process forward, and because of this structure, The Executive Guide to Implementing Quality focuses on the concepts, thinking, and systems necessary for management to operationalize the CQI philosophy. Because quality is not a management problem but rather a problem that involves and requires all people working together at all levels to participate and cooperate, management must engage the organization in the processes that will improve the quality of their goods or services. It is, however, management's job to lead, organize, structure, motivate, and involve the organization in those strategies and systems that will ensure quality improvement. This book explains how to do that. Readers are given a series of exercises and explanations that will help them master the skills and understanding required to identify the management systems they need to support their quality improvement. After reading about a concept, they are asked to contribute to exercises designed to inspire creative and innovative thinking and the exploration of multi-functional options. And because it is the job of management to initiate the quality movement, this book shows how to change defensive thoughts like "that won't work for me" into "what is there that will work here." In addition to showing management how to take the lead in installing CQI in their organization, it also shows how to install the concepts through leadership teams, how to bring out the best in people, how to get top performance from employees and become a world-class organization, and how to reinforce the behaviors necessary to achieve the visions and goals of the organization. This workbook is an easy-and-quick-to-use guide that shows how to identify the support systems that generate desirable outcomes and reinforces them through positive actions.
Download or read book BASICS Be Always Sure Inputs Create Success written by Paul Cunningham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The BASICS Handbook is designed to show personnel at all levels within a manufacturing operations environment that, with easy to understand continuous improvement tools, they can make a difference to operational performance where safety, quality, cost, delivery, and people are paramount to business success. The tools and techniques throughout, based upon examples from the author’s experience, demonstrate that no matter what industry, they can bring the desired added value. This book will help any manufacturing shop floor add value in terms of quality/cost and delivery performance. It will also show how using tools and techniques from the “coal face” out will improve process performance by using simple data collection and measurement – not only on outputs, but just as importantly on “critical to quality inputs” such as process parameters and their processing windows – to deliver the desired output KPIs. The power and confidence that this gives to local experts and processing teams enable them to make informed decisions, preventing drifts and non-conforming product: prevention being better than cure. The result of these changes is a tangible cultural impact on the shop floor, raising the level at which operating teams work and improving morale. BASICS will enable staff at all levels to understand their performance measures and produce sustainable results. The book contains practical tools, methods, and techniques that have been tried and tested by the author over a successful 30-year career as a contractor transforming variable processing and inconsistent KPI results.
