CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The
ultimate aim of any manufacturing company is the production of quality
goods and services for the satisfaction of its customers and to maximize
profit.
The quality production may be checked by the following:
Production
Inspection
Good/term vs defectives.
-
Production: Production is a any process or procedure designed as well
as organized to transform a set of input components into specified set
of output elements.
- Inspection: Why do we inspect? To need
out inferior product of course but if I stop with that answer, I will
over look most of what I should be doing inspection is done his the
production process not only to catch the bad item, but also save wasting
further work on them.
- Good/term: The quality of production
can be checked by accepting the unit that are good and reject the unit
that are defective or present defective production.
The quality of
production by good/terms vs defective product is determine as quickly as
possible during the production cycle when qualities is shipping so that
corrective may be taken before the occurrence of real loss in the form
of defective items.
A quality control system must include
inspection. In the case, however, the basic purpose of such inspection
is not isolate good and bad unit, but to play watch dog over the
production process there by providing the control required to keep
performance within acceptable limits. The consumer reaction, the quality
of production is checked from the reaction of consumer of a product if
the attitude of consumer is positive then quality is said to be met but
if the reaction is negative towards a particular product is said to be
me.
The effect of the consumer reaction on the organization is that
the organization may end up losing t heir customer to their competitors
when the reaction is negative and could lead to the collapse of the
organization. But when the reaction of consumer is positive it brings
about:
Increase in the sales of the organization product and also
brings good wheel to the organization. In terms of having more customers
which of course will make the organization to remain in the market.
The
quality of production is determine as quickly as possible during the
production cycle, when quality is slipping so that corrective action may
be taken before the occurrence of real loss in the form of defective
items. A good quality control system must include inspection. In this
case, however, the basic purpose of such inspection is not to isolate
good and bad units but to play watch dog over the production process
there by proceeding the control required to keep performance within
acceptable limits.
Quality control means different things to
different people. Quality control is more than a set of statistical
formular and table for acceptance and control. Indeed, it is more than
the department unit responsible for quality control to an enlightened.
Management it must represent a business investment, which any other
investment should show paper returns to justify its existence.
The
control of quality is the responsibility of every one in the
organization what over is produce by person or machine, the person or
the operator doing the work or operation of the machine is the one who
can most effectively control quality or make information available so
that desired quality control can be attained so that immediate action
can be taken. The person who has most influence for good or bad over the
worker whether the work is production or administration is the first
line supervision. This supervisor becomes the determinant which the
total quality control effort revolves.
This project will therefore
assess the import of quality control on profitability in manufacturing
organizations. With emphasis on the printing industry and in particular
to new Nigeria Newspaper limited Kaduna.
