    Building Quality culture

    Culture of quality is defined as an environment in which employees not


    only follow quality guidelines, but also consistently see others taking
    quality-focused actions, hear others talking about quality, and feel quality
    all around them.A quality culture exists when all employees, from top
    management to those on the shop floor, seamlessly embed quality
    improvement into their daily activities. Culture matures over many years
    as norms are passed from one generation of staff to the next Modifying an
    organisation’s culture requires significant effort.

     Developing a quality culture can be very challenging as it requires a lot


    of effort and hard work not only for management but for each level in the
    hierarchy.To maintain an adventurous culture, it is important for all
    members of the organization to come along together and become a
    strength for the company. A healthy quality culture is built only when
    there is teamwork and cooperation among employees for breaking out
    any obstacles that create hindrance in meeting customer’s demands.For
    creating and developing a quality culture in an organization, it is
    important to focus on several factors like Teamwork, Consistency,
    Clarity, Root Cause Analysis, Goals Identification, Motivation to Team,
    Authority to staff, and Documentation.

    Basic requirements to build a quality culture


    The first step is to understand what quality means to your organization,
    and more specifically, to the products you produce. 
    The second step is to be unwavering in your quest for quality, and your
    staff – from the floor sweeper, to the senior managers - needs to know it.
    The third step is to ensure your folks are well trained, understand the
    expectations, and then, know how to achieve those expectations every
    time.

    initiatives and to ensure the organization is held accountable for

    customer-centric.  Customer needs and values should be central in
    decision making and daily operations
