Introduction
Quality
“Quality” means those features of products which
meet customer needs and thereby provide
customer satisfaction
“Quality” means freedom from deficiencies—
freedom from errors that require doing work over
again (rework) or that result in field failures,
customer dissatisfaction, customer claims, and so
on
In this sense, the meaning of quality is oriented
to costs, and higher quality usually “costs less
J.M. Juran’s Trilogy
Developed the idea of trilogy
•Quality Planning
•Quality Improvement
•Quality Control
Trilogy shows how an organization can
improve every aspect by better
understanding of the relationship between
processes that plan, control and improve
quality as well as business results
In 1951, the first edition of Juran’s
quality control handbook was published
How To Manage For Quality: The
Juran Trilogy
To attain quality, it is well to begin by
establishing the “vision” for the
organization, along with policies and goals
Managing for quality makes extensive use of
three such managerial processes:
Quality Planning
Quality Control
Quality Improvement
These processes are now known as the
“Juran trilogy”
Quality Planning
Establish quality goals
Identify who the customers are
Determine the needs of the customers
Develop product features that respond to
customer’s needs
Develop processes able to produce the product
features
Establish process controls; transfer the plans
to the operating forces
Quality Control
Evaluate actual performance
Compare actual performance with quality goals
Act on the difference
Quality Improvement
Prove the need Establish the infrastructure
Identify the improvement projects
Establish project teams
Provide the teams with resources, training, and
motivation to:
Diagnose the causes Stimulate remedies
Establish controls to hold the gains

Strength of Juran’s Trilogy
The methodology searches a continuous
improvement of quality in every aspects of the
organization, because if the implementation of
the methodology does not give the desire
results it is possible to start all over again
The methodology allows the use different
quality tools to cover the steps of Juran’s
Trilogy. It allows a better understanding of the
relationships of every stage of the company
The methodology is well structured and allows
the companies that implement it, an easy
understanding and application.
Weakness of Juran’s Trilogy
To have quality control it is necessary to have a trained
person with knowledge in statistical processes or train a
special person to be in charge of quality
The program is focus in the company process and not in
labor force
Analyzing the requirements of the program we found
that the companies who apply the program have a
complex level of organization
This kind of methodologies show results in a long term;
this represents a risk for the company because the
implementation of the quality program can be a waste of
time, money and resources.
