TL;DR: The top 10 main components of the tools used for quality improvement, enabling factors, benefits, and barriers to implementation are provided and categorization of quality improvement methods and the way toward ZDM are discussed.
Abstract: In the competitive market of manufacturing, quality is a criterion of primary importance in order to win market share. Quality improvement must be coupled with performance point of view. Lean management, Six sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, Theory of Constraints, and their combination are philosophies dedicated to this goal. This study is a literature review on the implementation of these philosophies to improve quality of processes and products in a system, and also covers the commonalities and differences with Zero Defect Manufacturing philosophy. In this study, 45 articles have been analyzed. These articles have been selected by a research on several scientific libraries with specific keywords. The methodology is based on a list of information extracted from each paper. The data searched are on the tool selections, critical factors of implementations and the benefits obtained from them. Based on the review and analysis of the literature and practices, we provide the top 10 main components of the tools used for quality improvement, enabling factors, benefits, and barriers to implementation. Moreover, we present and discuss categorization of quality improvement methods, and the way toward zero defect manufacturing. The need of standardized toolkits for different levels of maturity in quality management systems and a better education have been enlightened. Thanks to technological improvement in information flow management, Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) seems close to be achieved even though some new risks and wastes have to be taken care of within the implementation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the use of the modern management paradigm "Total Quality Management" (TQM) and its application in the field of education, where the basic theme of TQM is participatory approach to address the question(s) of quality in business as well as in the domain of education.
Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to analyzing thoughts of the modern management paradigm “Total Quality Management” (TQM), and its application in the field of education. The basic theme of TQM is participatory approach to address the question(s) of quality in business aswell as in the field of education. Reviewing fresh literature from the internet and other sources, the works of W. Edward Deming’s: fourteen principles for quality assurance, Philip Crosby’s: fourteen points for quality management & the idea of zero defect, and J. Juran’s three areas: quality planning, quality improvement and quality control are discussed.

TL;DR: The goal of the current research work is a methodology for the identification of the acceptable inspection specification in order for the production system to stay efficient and at the same time produce non-defected products.
Abstract: The contemporary manufacturing landscape is characterized by increased volatility shortened product life cycles and increased degree of product customization. Manufacturing companies are continuously facing the challenge of operating their manufacturing processes and systems in order to deliver the required production rates of high quality products, while minimizing the use of resources. They can achieve this with a concept named Zero Defect Manufacturing. This concept implies that inspection is performed to all the parts and therefore they can achieve zero defects. The problem is that inspection can be either time consuming process or a very expensive process. The goal of the current research work is a methodology for the identification of the acceptable inspection specification in order for the production system to stay efficient and at the same time produce non-defected products. In other words the outcome of this paper will be a set of maps that depicts which can be the acceptable inspection characteristics such as inspection time and inspection cost.
