Team “A” Weekly Reflection – Total Quality Management & ISO Organizations must employ methods and strategies that ensure the highest level of quality in the goods it produces the services it renders to its consumers. Also production of such by its employees must be in an efficient and effective manner. This paper will expand how the application of two methods, total quality management and International Organization for Standardization can improve an organization, the benefits and challenges of each, and the role of the Quality Control department in each. Jacobs & Chase state that total quality management (TQM) ‘may be defined as ‘managing the entire organization so that it excels on dimensions of products and services that are important to the customer’”. (Jacobs, 2011. p. 286) TQM incorporates the participation of the entire organization to ensure its products and services are being produced and rendered with the highest level of quality possible.

This benchmarking technique is a management tool through which a plan for evaluation, measurement, and improvement is implemented. It seems as though with our team these tasks have been completed.

All managers should benchmark the organization in order to assess all of the performance on each shift by providing all of what they can measure in a consistent manner across the organization.
Lean is a methodology, a philosophy and a strategy. Lean is a different way of looking at production in today’s economic times and requires a decision making system that supports this. Standard cost accounting presents a problem for lean companies. Orry Fiume, one of the pioneers in Lean, in his article on Lean Accounting and finance states, “…in order to successfully implement Lean, everything the company does has to support it, and whatever doesn't has to be changed. Thus, product development processes, sales terms and marketing programs, human resource policies and procedures, and accounting systems have to be examined in order to insure that they do not contain elements that contradict the Lean strategy” (Fiume, 2002).

By applying activity based costing the bank was able to estimate the cost of an additional service such as financial advice services. To understand the issues surrounding the application of ABC to service organizations, it is important to note the difference between applying ABC to service organizations and manufacturing companies. Firstly, with a manufacturing company, the product costs can be traced easily because a large portion of costs is attributable to direct labor and materials used in the production process. However in a service organization, it is difficult to identify direct costs related to a specific service. This is because services are largely intangible and are directly delivered to customers through employees.
