    Performance improvement: the rise and fall of reengineering (1998)
    Bradford : Emerald
    The @TQM magazine 10 (1998), S. 69-71

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Suggests that organizational improvement methodologies have a life cycle. This takes them through the stages of being the "in" thing to do, then into a decline because they are no longer exciting or have failed to produce results. Ultimately they are left being pursued by only a few committed individuals before the arrival of a champion to revive the approach with a new twist. Notes that process reengineering is now falling out of favor and looks at the reasons for its rapid rise and failure. Suggests factors such as its negative impact on the organization which was not clearly defined and the project cycle time which was too long. Concludes that the approach still has a role to play.

    Performance improvement: a total poor-quality cost system (1999)
    Bradford : Emerald
    The @TQM magazine 11 (1999), S. 221-230

    Notes: Quality cost systems have evolved from a purely manufacturing defect related cost reporting system that reflected the limited quality thinking of the 1940s to a poor-quality cost system that reflects the total process quality orientation of the 1990s. The new poor-quality cost system includes both the direct and indirect quality cost. It addresses key concepts like customer encore cost, lost opportunity cost and non-value added cost. The focus of the poor-quality cost system has drifted away from the manufacturing process and now focuses on the total business systems that represent today's biggest opportunity for improvement. Poor-quality cost in functions like marketing and sales can exceed 100 percent of the organization's total budget. This paper explains how quality costs hav evolved to keep up with the quality systems' evolution over the past 50 years.

    Performance improvement: the downside to quality improvement (the surplus people problem) (1998)
    Bradford : Emerald
    The @TQM magazine 10 (1998), S. 154-160 
    Details
    ISSN: 0954-478X

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Through the use of total quality management programmes, the industrialised western economies have made great strides in improving quality, reducing waste and increasing productivity. It was our hope that these improvements would recapture our market share, recreating the jobs we lost in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Unfortunately, in many companies, growth in market share has not kept pace with improved productivity. As a result their surplus employee problem continues to grow. This paper discusses how to deal with this situation without massive layoffs.

    Notes: Argues that winners of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the Deming Prize, and the European Quality Award are held up as models of how organizations should be managed.

Bases this report on one of the world's largest international management practice's database and provides statistically sound conclusions that can change the way you think about best practices, benchmarking, and the way you are managing your organization's improvement efforts.
