Quality Assurance in Technical Education Krishnkant Shukla*, Senior Technician Member Atul Karki*, Senior Technician Member This paper emphasizes the adoption of concurrent quality drives for technical education system in order to help nations to produce technologically competitive human resource and thereby bring quality products in the market. This paper analyses the contents and practices of TQM and six sigma, and compares them against twelve dimensions. INTRODUCTION Total quality management (TQM) has been enjoying popularity in industries of all types since its development in the mideighties. However, in recent years, interest in TQM has declined in industries. In contrast, six sigma, especially in its present form implemented by General Electric (GE-6σ), has become a popular management tool in the world. As a result, some researchers and practitioners assert that firms should implement six sigma in preference to TQM. It is observed that TQM cannot be replaced by six sigma. However, TQM cannot obtain the radical results achieved by six sigma. It is suggested that the implementation of six sigma can make up for this deficiency in TQM. Although the manipulation and management practices of TQM and GE-6σ are somewhat different, however, there is congruence between their quality concepts, leadership and culture. In addition, TQM and GE-6σ share the same goals of pursuing customer satisfaction, business performance and the integration of TQM and GE-6σ should, therefore, has some synergistic effects. This study utilises customer loyalty and business performance as the strategic goal of an integrated model of the two programmes. The proposed model discusses management principles, implementation practices and cultural changes implied by integration. This integrated model is of significance for practitioners and academics alike. A lot of problems may come in industry which can be related to technical function during the production, and, therefore, it is required to overcome these issues by imparting proper technical education. In technical education, TQM-six sigma tool is an important one. Therefore, six sigma training is very much needed for industries in order to quality production and also for customer satisfaction. In many cases, innovation happens at unexpected moments of time and is done in a different context altogether. According to one renowned industrialist of India: ‘every individual has to think of how s/he can make a difference to the world where s/he lives in’. As collectively human being moves into * Krishnkant Shukla and Atul Karki are the Senior Technician members attached to the Jharkhand State Centre of IEI. This paper was presented and discussed at the Seminar Session held concurrently with the Nineteenth IEI Convocation at Ranchi on November 19, 2011. the future and, therefore, there must be an endeavour by a professional group that makes a difference and that leaves its mark, not because of the profit it makes but because of what it has done to mankind around them. The total quality management concept can be sub-divided into a number of broad areas, namely, theme selection, process mapping, quality function deployment, failure mode and effects analysis and brainstorming. Theme Selection (Activity Focusing) The steps of focusing any problem can broadly be classified as follows: Define the problem areas (namely, process mapping, rolled throughput yield, quality function deployment, failure mode and effect analysis, Pareto, benchmarking). Decide the action theme and also the irregular members (irregular members need to be improved). Extract the detailed issue on theme activity (process mapping, brainstorming, logic tree, Pareto, etc). Decide the benefit (quality, quantity) related to theme activities (clarify the improved amount and guarantee its performance). Describe the problem on theme activity (elaborate the present and ideal appearance through phenomenon analysis). Control project schedule (monitor the overall agenda with the detailed chart through phenomenon analysis). Process Mapping Process mapping can be made by the following attributes: It is used to document process to examine part and information flow. It is a key tool in identifying opportunities for improvement. It defines the process boundary (general area or specific process improvement). It provides brainstorm and order process amongst the members of the team. It provides code activities using symbols for easy analysis. It demonstrates the process correctly to validate map. It adds key process metrics, such as, yield, costs, rolled throughput yield, scrap, overtime, capacity, percentage schedule, percentage OTD. 3 Volume 92, December 2011 Rank cues by importance and translate them into technical specifications required to meet customer cues. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is used to proactively identify and rank risks in a product design and assign appropriate actions to be taken to prevent the failure mode. Do not discuss ideas. Issue (on ‘X’ axis) against frequency (on ‘Y’ axis) is drawn which depicts the Pareto chart. The FMEA process can be classified as under: Brainstorm potential failures of the product design. namely. are eligible for examination re-registration (proforma available on website) and registration for Section B on the prescribed proforma (printed in Vol. Do not interpret inputs.
