Total Quality Management

Computer Engineering electronics Engineering Civil Engineering

Total quality management or TQM is an integrative philosophy of management for continuously improving the quality of products and processes. It is used around the world.TQM functions on the premise that the quality of products and processes is the responsibility of everyone who is involved with the creation or consumption of the products or services offered by an organization. In other words, TQM capitalizes on the involvement of management, workforce, suppliers, and even customers, in order to meet or exceed customer expectations. Considering the practices of TQM as discussed in six empirical studies, Cua, McKone, and Schroeder (2001) identified the nine common TQM practices as cross-functional product design, process management, supplier quality management, customer involvement, information and feedback, committed leadership, strategic planning, cross-functional training, and employee involvement.

Risk management

Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks (defined in ISO 31000 as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether positive or negative) followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. Risks can come from uncertainty in financial markets, project failures (at any phase in development, production, or sustainment life-cycles), legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters as well as deliberate attack from an adversary or events of uncertain root-cause. Several risk management standards have been developed including the Project Management Institute, the National Institute of Science and Technology, actuarial societies, and ISO standards. Methods, definitions and goals vary widely according to whether the risk management method is in the context of project management, security, engineering, industrial processes, financial portfolios, actuarial assessments, or public health and safety.The strategies to manage risk include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect or probability of the risk, or even accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk.Certain aspects of many of the risk management standards have come under criticism for having no measurable improvement on risk, whether the confidence in estimates and decisions seem to increase.

Quality Reliability Engineering

Reliability engineering is an engineering field, that deals with the study, evaluation, and life-cycle management of reliability: the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time.It is often measured as a probability of failure or a measure of availability. However, maintainability is also an important part of reliability engineering. Reliability engineering for complex systems requires a different, more elaborated systems approach than reliability for non-complex systems / items. Reliability engineering is closely related to system Safety engineering in the sense that they both use common sorts of methods for their analysis and might require input from each other. Reliability engineering has important links with Function analysis / Requirements Specification, Systems Design, Hardware Design, Software Design, Manufacturing, Transport, Handling, Storage, Spare parts, Operations research, Human factors: Human Operators and maintainers, Repair shops, Manuals, Training and more. Most industries do not have specialized Reliability engineers and the engineering task often becomes part of the design engineer, logistics engineer, systems engineer or quality engineer. Reliability engineers should have broad skills and knowledge.
