  lOMoAR cPSD| 58583460 1) Management  
- The process of making thing done efficiently (năng suất) and effectively (chất lượng) with  people and through people. 
2) Four functions of management:  - Planning  - Organising - Leading  - Controlling 
3) TQM: Total Quality Management 
- A people-focused management system that aims at continual increase customer sastifaction 
at continually lower real cost. TQM is a total system approach (not a separate area or program) 
and an integral part of high level strategy; it works horizontally across functions and 
department, involves all employees, top to bottom, and extends backward and forward to 
include the supply chain and the customer chain. TQM stresses learning and adaptation to 
continual change as keys to org. success. - The foundation of TAM is philosophical: the 
scientific method. TQM includes systems, methods, and tools. The systems permit change; the 
system stays the same. TQM is anchored in values that stress the dignity of the individual and  power of community action. 
- P&G: TQM is unyielding and continually improving effort by people in an orrg, to understan, 
meet, and exceed expectations of customers. 
- Challenges for quality management: 
(1) Data management and analytics 
(2) Compliance with regulation 
(3) Global supplies change complexity.  CHAPTER 2: 4)

(7) Institute modern methods of supervision of production workers. 
(8) The responsibility of foremen must be changed from numbers to quality. 
(9) Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company. 
(10) Break down barriers between departments. Efforts of team Eliminate numerical goals, 
posters, and slogans for the workforce asking for new levels of productivity without  providing methods. 
(11) Eliminate work standards that prescribe numerical quotas. 
(12) Remove barriers that stand between the hourly worker and his right to pride of  workmanship.

CHAPTER 3: QUALITY MANAGEMENT TOOLS 
1) Quality management system. a) ISO 9000 
- Aim: assure purchasers that quality meets their requirement 
- Via documents, ISO assures that quality is built into a process and is achieved 
- Amongst other things it ensures that an organization has a quality policy, that procedures are 
standardized, that defects are monitored, that corrective and preventative action systems are 
in place, and that management reviews the system      lOMoAR cPSD| 58583460
- The ISO9000 family of standards consists of four primary standards: IS09000, ISO9001, ISO9004  and ISO19011 
(1) ISO9000: Fundamentals and Vocabulary  (2) ISO9001: Requirements 
(3) ISO9004: Guidelines for Performance Improvement (4) ISO19011: Guidelines on 
Quality and Environmental Auditing - Limitations: 
(1) Lack of flexibility and perceived restrictions on creativity 
(2) Lack of relevance to the real needs of the business 
(3) The time and resources needed in writing procedures and training 
(4) The bureaucracy involved in documentation and accreditation. 
(5) The cost involved in achieving IS09001 registration and then maintaining it 
(6) Perceived by small companies to be only applicable to large companies. 
(7) Considered by those companies who have mature TQM approaches to be of no value.   
Chapter 6: QUANLITY MANAGEMENT IN SERVICE      lOMoAR cPSD| 58583460 1) Service. a) Def   - 
Philip Kotler: " A service is an act of performance that one party can offer to another that 
is essentially intangible and does not result in the ownership of anything. Its production may or 
may not be tied to a physical product."  - 
A service is a type of product. Service is always the result of an activity or interaction 
between a service supplier and a customer and can take many forms. 
b) Characteristics of service. 
- Typically intangible: there is usually little or no tangible evidence to show once a service (e.g. 
investment advice, consultation with a doctor) has been performed. (Thường thì có rất ít hoặc 
không có bằng chứng hữu hình nào để chứng minh khi một dịch vụ (ví dụ như tư vấn đầu tư, 
tư vấn với bác sĩ) đã được thực hiện.) 
- Production and consumption: simultaneous; the service may not be separable from the 
person of the seller, and the customer may be involved in the service performance (e.g. legal 
advice, hair-dressing). Thus, the service process, including staff at the customer interface, 
becomes integral to service quality. (Đồng thời, dịch vụ có thể không tách rời khỏi người bán, 
và khách hàng có thể tham gia vào quá trình thực hiện dịch vụ (ví dụ như tư vấn pháp lý, cắt 
tóc). Do đó, quá trình cung cấp dịch vụ, bao gồm cả nhân viên giao tiếp trực tiếp với khách 
hàng, trở thành một phần không thể tách rời của chất lượng dịch vụ) 
- Heterogeneity: variability often exists in services as a function of labour inputs and non-
standardization of delivery, and so the use of quality standards in the conventional sense is 
more difficult. (Sự biến đổi thường tồn tại trong các dịch vụ như một hệ quả của đầu vào lao 
động và tính không tiêu chuẩn hóa trong quá trình cung cấp, do đó việc áp dụng các tiêu chuẩn 
chất lượng theo cách thông thường trở nên khó khăn hơn) 
- No inventory: Many services cannot be stored to meet fluctuations in demand (e.g. a doctor's 
time, hotel rooms, purchase of shares in a privatization issue). Companies need to develop 
systems to manage supply and demand. (Nhiều dịch vụ không thể được lưu trữ để đáp ứng sự      lOMoAR cPSD| 58583460
biến động trong nhu cầu (ví dụ như thời gian của bác sĩ, phòng khách sạn, mua cổ phần trong 
một đợt tư nhân hóa. Các công ty cần phát triển các hệ thống để quản lý cung và cầu.)  - Ownership. 
- Quality measurement 
2) Model of excellence for service - Products: 
(1) Excellent (e.g PC Business) - Deliver  systems: 
(1) Excellent (IBM man – Dell) -  Service mindset:  3) 3 rules of service 
- S = P – E (Satisfaction = perception (cảm nhận) – expectation) 
- First impression is the most important - Focus on tangible feature of  service.  4) Sequal 
- Parasuraman: Gap model shows difference between customer perception and customer  expectations (Satisfaction) 
- SERVQUAL (service quality gap model) is a gap method in service quality measurement, a tool 
that can be used by Product Manager across all industries. 
- Developed by Parasuraman, Zeithalm and Berry in 1985      lOMoAR cPSD| 58583460       lOMoAR cPSD| 58583460  
- The Customer Gap: The Gap between Customer Expectations and Cu stomerPerceptions 
- Expectation: what the customer expects according to available resources 
(1) Influenced by cultural background, family lifestyle, personality, demographics, 
advertising, experience with similar products and information available online 
- Customer perception: totally subjective: 
(1) Based on the customer's interaction with the product or service. 
(2) Perception is derived from the customer's satisfaction of the specific product or service 
and the quality of service delivery. 
- The Knowledge Gap: The Gap between Consumer Expectation and  Management Perception      lOMoAR cPSD| 58583460
(1) Managers are not aware or have not correctly interpreted the customer's expectation in 
relation to the company's services or products. 
(2) Companies are trying to meet wrong or non-existing consumer needs. 
(3) In a customer-orientated business, it is important to have a clear understanding of the  consumer's need for service. 
(4) To close the gap: will require comprehensive market research. 
- The Policy Gap: The Gap between ManagementPerception and Service Quality Specification 
(1) This gap reflects management's incorrect translation of the service policy into rules and  guidelines for employees 
(2) This can include poor service design, failure to maintain and continually update their 
provision of good customer service or simply a lack of standardisation. 
(3) This gap may see consumers seek a similar product with better service elsewhere. 
- The Policy Gap: The Gap between ManagementPerception and Service Quality Sp ecification 
(1) This gap reflects management's incorrect translation of the service policy into rules and  guidelines for employees 
(2) This can include poor service design, failure to maintain and continually update their 
provision of good customer service or simply a lack of standardisation. 
(3) This gap may see consumers seek a similar product with better service elsewhere. 
- The Delivery Gap: The Gap between Service Quality Specification and  Service Delivery 
(1) Exposes the weakness in employee performance. 
(2) Firms may specify the service required but have subsequently failed to train their 
employees, put good processes and guidelines in action. 
As a result, employees are ill equipped to manage consumer's needs. 
- The Communication Gap: The Gap between Service Delivery and External Communications 
(1) Promises through advertising media and communication raise customer expectations. 
(2) When over-promising does not match the actual service delivery, it creates a  communication gap. 
(3) Consumers disappointed because the promised service does not match the expected 
service and consequently may seek alternative product sources. This gap may see 
consumers seek a similar product with better service elsewhere.      lOMoAR cPSD| 58583460
- Measuring service quality: (Sử dụng cho midterm):
