Analysis of Quality Management by Implementing Total Quality Management Based on Deming Prize

Abstract

A company needs to improve its performance, especially in terms of quality, in an effort to assure its survival in the business competition with other companies. Therefore, the company needs to measure its performance so that it can find out its current position in the competition and how to improve said position and achieve its goals. Nowadays, many companies try to improve themselves by putting more emphasis on product quality, which is an external kind of quality, instead of on the internal quality of the company. This strategy will not yield the best result in the long run because the internal quality affect the quality of the resulting products. One of management systems that put emphasis on the internal quality and consumer satisfaction is Total Quality Management, which involves all members of the organization. One approach to the aspects included in Total Quality Management is to use the Deming Prize, which reviews the internal quality based on several categories. Based on the results and data analysis, it can be seen that the score for organizational variables is 3.41; standardization of 3.00; control of 2.81; analysis of 2.59; and influence of 3.30. However, there are several categories in the variable that are lower than the terget score, among others, job analysis, organizational goals, work tools, measurement, employee input, and rewards.
