The quality revolution in American industry, now more than a decade old, has produced an avalanche of books, but this is the first in-depth study reporting the struggles from inside the companies that have attempted large-scale improvement efforts. Jeremy Main has interviewed more than a dozen chief executives, all of whom have managed quality programs, including Charles Clough of Nashua, Robert Galvin of Motorola, James Hagen of Conrail, Roger Milliken of Milliken, Ray State of Analog Devices, and John Young of Hewlett-Packard, in addition to hundreds of other senior executives, workers, labor representatives, city officials, military officers, and hospital administrators. Through their experiences, Main reveals what works and what doesn't work when an organization attempts the transforming leap into Total Quality Management. Their message comes through loud and clear: it is a tough battle, but persistence can win priceless rewards. The notable successes at BancOne, L.L. Bean, Ford, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, Saturn, Solectron, and Xerox prove it. However, Main shows that Motorola and Hewlett-Packard, among the earliest and best practitioners of total quality, are still finding obstacles to overcome. And some other early converts, such as Florida Power & Light, have stumbled badly along the way. Main's vivid descriptions of these setbacks capture the difficulties inherent in implementing a total quality system. His dramatic accounts of success and failure at companies such as Milliken and Intel convey valuable knowledge that is otherwise gained only by actual experience. The way to achieve the "new quality" of today, Main shows, is through a full commitment to TQM. He reveals through the experiences of these companies that TQM is not just a management tool, as it has often been used, but a management philosophy that is indispensable in attaining a high level of quality -- now a requisite for competing successfully. With the collaboration of the Juran Institute, Main demonstrates how TQM has transformed companies by improving quality at all levels. The accounts of these triumphs are direct evidence that world-class quality is attainable by American industry, and will inspire and point the way for executives, managers, and government officials in their timeless pursuit of total quality.

Human resource management is a particularly challenging role, both domestically and globally. This challenge can be viewed either as an opportunity or as a threat. As an opportunity, the principles and practices of total quality presented in this book can help human resource professionals or anyone who manages people, transform institutionalized mediocrity into organizational excellence. The focus of this book is on managing the difference TQ makes in human resources. Whereas the traditional nature and scope of responsibility for most human resource professionals has been that of staff support geared to administrative compliance, the total quality approach offered here reveals the keys to developing and sustaining commitment to world-class performance. These keys include strategic input and continual improvement of the human resource system to enhance internal and external customer satisfaction both now and in the future. The full meaning of these new TQ role demands is explored in light of the driving forces reshaping the HR environment into the 21st Century. In addition, this book offers practitioner assessment instruments, practical TQ tools, and specific implementation steps to take in order to make the TQ difference in managing human resources domestically and globally.

In this book the notion of quality peace is introduced as part of a search for a way to capture peaceful relations within states, between states, and in the world. The challenge to scholarship is the recurrence of war between the same parties. Investigating that problem, this book systematically goes through post-World War II experiences as well as peacebuilding efforts after the Cold War. It compares two different outcomes: victory consolidation versus a negotiated ending through a peace agreement, and does so for both inter-state and intra-state relations.

This book explores women’s militant activities in insurgent wars and seeks to understand what women ‘do’ in wars. In International Relations, inter-state conflict, anti-state armed insurgency and armed militancy are essentially seen as wars where collective violence (against civilians and security forces) is used to achieve political objectives. Extending the notion of war as ‘politics of injury' to the armed militancy in Indian administered Kashmir and the Tamil armed insurgency in Sri Lanka, this book explores how women participate in militant wars, and how that politics not only shapes the gendered understandings of women’s identities and bodies but is in turn shaped by them. The case studies discussed in the book offer new comparative insight into two different and most prevalent forms of insurgent wars today: religio-political and ethno-nationalist. Empirical analyses of women’s roles in the Sri Lankan Tamil militant group, the LTTE and the logistical, ideological support women provide to militant groups active in Indian administered Kashmir suggest that these insurgent wars have their own gender dynamics in recruitment and operational strategies. Thus, Women and Militant Wars provides an excellent insight into the gender politics of these insurgencies and women’s roles and experiences within them. This book will be of much interest to students and scholars of critical war and security studies, feminist international relations, gender studies, terrorism and political violence, South Asia studies and IR in general.

This book discusses how fact-finding mechanisms for alleged violations of international human rights, humanitarian and criminal law can be improved. There has been a significant increase in the use of international, internationalised and domestic fact-finding mechanisms since 1992, including by the United Nations human rights system, international commissions of inquiry, truth and reconciliation commissions, and NGOs. They are analysed and assessed in detail by 19 authors under the common theme 'Quality Control in Fact-Finding'. The authors include Richard J. Goldstone, Martin Scheinin, LIU Daqun, Charles Garraway, David Re, Simon De Smet, FAN Yuwen, Isabelle Lassée, WU Xiaodan, Dan Saxon, Chris Mahony, Dov Jacobs, Catherine Harwood, Lyal S. Sunga, Wolfgang Kaleck, Carolijn Terwindt, Ilia Utmelidze and Marina Aksenova. Serge Brammertz has written the Preface, and LING Yan a Foreword. The book emphasises quality awareness and improvement in non-criminal justice fact-work. This quality control approach recognises, inter alia, the importance of leadership in fact-finding mechanisms, the responsibility of individual fact-finders to continuously professionalise, and the need for fact-finders to be mandate-centred. It is an approach that invites the consideration of how the quality of every functional aspect of fact-finding can be improved, including work processes to identify, locate, obtain, verify, analyse, corroborate, summarise, synthesise, structure, organise, present, and disseminate facts. The book also considers regulatory approaches to enhance quality and professionalisation.

Table of Contents Introduction The Concept of Quality Time Background of Child Raising Down the Centuries Psychologists and Modern - Day Parenting 1 - Have Meals Together 2 - Shopping with Family Members 3 - Hobbies and Sports Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Believe it or not, even though as a psychologist and a counselor, I learned a number of psychological terms, I was astonished when I was first confronted with the term "quality time," in regard to parent-child relationship. This book is going to be controversial, because I do not want this term quality time to have anything to do with any sort of natural relationship between a parent or a child or partners or close family members. Why, because any relationship which is between human beings should never ever be measured in the amount of time spent with them and the feeling of guilt associated just because you neglected your family because you thought you had to do something else which held top priority in your schedule. This book wants you to abolish that psychological term quality time from your lexicon and vocabulary. This is just the sort of psychological mumbo-jumbo and jargon, thought up by some psychologist like me somewhere in order to sound more knowledgeable and more intelligent than thou! Along with that, I am going to talk about the long-term psychological effects of this so-called quality time on human beings, and whether you think that it is positive or negative, is going to be decided by you after you finish the book. Quality time – also known as QT, spoken in a very proud and smug tone because after all, you are boasting to other people around you that you have taken some time out of your very very busy schedule in order to spend this time with your loved ones – is a reference to some time spend informally with them. This naturally is a 20th century concept. And this is how a large number of parents are justifying their feelings of guilt, through neglecting their children just by saying that, well, they have done their duty to their children, because they have spent some time with them. And during this time they did some profitable, special, important, memorable, and productive activity. This time, which has been spent in doing this activity, where you are going to spend plenty of time giving some special matter or some special person all your attention, is called quality time. I just hate this term, especially when parents talk in a very smug tone that they have taken out half an hour out of their very busy schedule in order to take their children to a park, this week. I would rather those parents do not waste that half hour with their children, because one ear is going to be open for the ringing of their cell phone, with messages, and they watching the clock because they have to get back to what they consider to be the top priority job in their lives, as soon as the half hour is over. Stop this hypocritical behavior, pretending to be a good parent. The child could do without your presence, because the rest of the time, when you do meet or when you do have time to remember that you have a child around, the attention you give him is divided and full of interruptions.
