Afterwards, he wanted to go to America (Laro, 1964). At the time, many Poles were moving to America to escape religious persecution, as anti-Semitism began to rise in Poland.

Most of these immigrants entered the country through Ellis Island, but there were other ways into the country.

This week’s assignment is about evaluating the quality issues of three organizations. The three sectors I chose to evaluate are manufacturing, service and government. I will then discuss the importance of quality to each organization, the relationship of quality to customers, the leadership commitment to quality and the alignment of quality to the organization’s strategic goals and objectives.

In early 1990’s, Teradyne experienced a major change in leadership with the new CEO Alex D’Arbeloff. Alex grew interested in the risk of losing Teradyne’s competitive edge due to quality and reliability concerns. Although D’Arbeloff believed the team was exceedingly competent, he believed there were major operating problems regarding reporting and performance measurements. To minimize these problems, D’Arbeloff embraced total quality management (TQM). After 5 years of intensive effort, TQM principles were embedded into most aspects of work at the company and resulted in noticeable improvement in manufacturing quality and customer service. However, the engineering organization was resisting TQM because of the resulting late and over budget projects.

Yasin and Alavi (1999) conducted a quantitative study to determine if Total Quality Management (TQM) can produce quality improvement

Quality of conformance includes technology, manpower and management while availability focuses on reliability, maintainability and logistics support. Juran emphasized that good service quality composed of promptness, competence and integrity. Like Deming, Juran advocated a never-ending spiral of activities that includes market research, product development, design, production process control and inspection and testing, followed by customer feedback. In his view, senior management may play an active and enthusiastic leadership role in the quality management process.

Deming Juran and Crosby considers measurement as very important to improve quality but they use it in different ways. For Juran and Crosby they view the cost of quality as a focus of measurement. Cost can measured in dollars and for both Crosby and Juran they consider that money is the language of management. Success of the efforts of the quality will be ultimately measured by meeting customer requirements. Juran normally considers the cost of all the poor quality as a important factor because it shows how much they are losing. He also knows they are other factors which are important to measure such as how the organization compares with the competition and how customers perceive

The Technique of quality control and management developed and evolved during the entire twentieth century. In early 1900s, Fredrick W. Taylor also known as the ‘father of scientific management ' presented the quality concepts. In 1913, JC Penney introduced the fundamentals of total quality management to the management side of business.

Quality is never an accident it is always the results of high intention, sincere efforts, intelligent directions and skillful execution, it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
