“…The old COQ model might have gained its wide acceptance because it coincides with an often observed 'inspection mentality' of management. In common managerial logic, achieving high, sellable quality is mainly associated with inspection, see Macdonald & Piggott (1990) and Bisgaard (1991). It is thought that a certain defect level is inevitable and inspection has to sort out defective products.…”

A With the increasing success of Quality Techniques such as Six Sigma, which show that quality perfection is a desirable objective, the old quality-cost trade-off as propagated by the Cost of Quality Models has to be re-examined. By scrutinizing the models' assumptions, we detect that they convey a rather limited and sometimes outdated perspective on quality improvement. By their nature they present static 'snapshots', yet neglect the dynamism of continuous improvement. Additionally, Cost of Quality Models are not adequate for determining an economically optimal quality level. We will show that this quality level indeed is at the point of perfection since we have to apply a profit instead of a cost perspective.

Experimental design methods have been widely applied to problems in manufacturing, but little attention has been given to applying these tools to service problems. In the world of direct marketing, the traditional approach is called A=B testing and involves changing one factor at a time. In this article we address the problem of improving direct mail response at Mother Jones magazine, employing a 16-run two-level fractional factorial design that tests seven factors simultaneously. We compare this design to other possible design choices, discuss sample size determination, and show how we labeled factors to isolate likely two-factor interactions. We discuss the results and conclusions of our study and the benefits to Mother Jones magazine.

“…A non-comprehensive list of such articles would include Czitrom et al (1998), Usher and Srinivasan (2000) and Sanders et al (2001). A comprehensive list of older journal articles that provide a wealth of examples about the use of DOE for improving industrial processes has been collected by Bisgaard (1992). Another collection of more recent DOE articles has been prepared by Prvan and Street (2002).…”

Using a series of four case studies, this article illustrates the integration of statistical process control and designed experiments. For such an integration to be effective, this article points out the need to use statistical process control (SPC) as a tool for active process study, rather than simply as a method for maintaining and controlling processes. The use of SPC in this fashion is also illustrated throughout the case studies.
