Developing New Products With Tqm

Quality planning involves every facet of product development - from market research, design, engineering, and manufacturing to program management, marketing, purchasing, quality assurance, and supplier involvement. Here, you'll find out how these functional areas must cooperate to balance conflicting priorities and keep customer needs as the foremost priority. You'll get a companywide perspective on systematic and preventative quality planning. In addition, you'll learn how to incorporate market research into product development activities; reduce product development time; enhance the total design process - including reliability testing and design verification; improve manufacturing planning, reduce manufacturing costs, and increase product quality; implement risk management methods - including contingency plans for new technologies; assure success in the marketplace with postproduction follow-up and ongoing product improvement planning; and perform activity-based costing, value analysis, quality function deployment, failure mode and effects analysis, lean production, and capacity constraint analysis.

Technological change often requires a manufacturer to go through a learning process that can, at times, be difficult and disruptive. This book shows both engineers and managers how to systematize this process by using techniques to reduce variation, and thereby reduce cost. It explains the mathematical and statistical tools used in the process of Total Quality Management, within the framework of a continuous case study of camshaft manufacturing, to show how they can be applied in new product development. The author fully describes the process of planning for a TQM system. He then examines in detail the implementation of such a system - the machine and gauge acceptance criteria, the failure modes and effects analysis, the design of experiments, the methods of selecting computer systems, and the measuring of customer satisfaction.
