2FINAL PROJECT REPORT
Introduction
The study of TQM or total quality management is based on the alignment of the activities
and formation of the operations listing the management of the operations (Dale 2015). The use of
TQM would help in easing the formation of the effective operation development. The alignment
of the operations would also help in forming the study of the wheat quality of two countries
(Australia and India). The TQM study would be helpful for using accumulated data and applying
flowcharts, histograms, Pareto charts, cause and effect diagrams, and Taguchi method for
developing the final summary.
The following assignment would be developed for forming the analysis of the successive
development of the effective system operations. The topic is helpful for the alignment of the data
and forming the use of TQM methods for drawing a conclusion of the selected topic. Moreover,
the alignment of the effective analysis methods would ensure that the deployment of the
operations would support the management of the project summary.
Project Brief
The topic deals with the usage of the secondary data collected on the topic of quality of
wheat produced in Australia and India. The successive development of the improved data
analysis would also help in forming the alignment of the operations. The formation of the general
study would be helpful for the management of the improved functional development that is
capable for the alignment of the study development.
The quality of wheat grown is dependent on the protein content, moisture, test weight,
and falling number. Test weight is done for measuring the grain density and can be calculated by

the use of Schopper Chondrometer in terms of kg/hL. The moisture is the approximation of the
water content in the wheat by the use of the calculation of weight loss by heating the sample till
140 degree Celsius. The protein content in the wheat grain is calculated by using Dumas
(Combustion) method or Kjeldahl method. The falling number is the measure of weather damage
to the wheat in terms of sprouting.
The quality of wheat grown is Australia ahs to meet the standards set by the Australian
Panel for Wheat Quality. The wheat classification in Australia is done based on the specific
geographical zones of Northern classification zone, including Queensland and Northern NSW,
South-Eastern classification zone – Southern NSW, Southern classification zone, including
Victoria and South Australia, and Western classification zone – Western Australia (Zones 2018).
The various classes of wheat grown in Australia are Australian Hard (AH), Australian Premium
White (APW), Australian Standard White (ASW), Australian Premium Durum (ADR),
Australian Soft (ASFT), Australian Standard Noodle Wheat (ANW), and Australian Feed
(FEED) (Classes 2018). On the other hand the quality of wheat grown in India can be classified
into the following table,

Project Objectives
The objectives of the project of the Comparing the wheat quality grown in Australia and
India is deployed for the formation of the analysis of the operations that are helpful for the
development of the final project report. The objectives of the project are,
 To form the study of the quality of the wheat materials that is produced in Indian and
Australia
 To develop a final report from the data analysis done on the data collected from the
various resources
 To collect and accumulate secondary data forming the deployment of the effective
operations for forming the management of the successive data analysis

Research Questions
The following are the research questions for the study of the project of comparing the wheat
quality grown in Australia and India,
a. What is the quality quotient for the wheat crops grown in Australia?
b. What is the quality quotient for the wheat crops grown in India?
c. On comparison of the two quality quotients which one is better?
Literature Review
According to Sallis (2014), the quality analysis is one of the most crucial factors for the
formation of the final project deliverable. The quality analysis is based on various factors such as
the alignment of the improved operations and product services. According to Ross (2017), the
study of various literatures would help in easing the data collection for the topic. The
implementation of the operations would also serve the major role for the alignment of the final
project deliverable. The quality analysis is developed based on the formation of the factors
favoring the inclination of the operations (Goetsch and Davis 2014). The wheat quality would be
based on the alignment of the successive methodologies producing the final report development.
The alignment of the operations would be helpful for forming the management of the successive
development. The wheat quality is analyzed for the alignment of the operations. The inclination
of the operations would also help in easing the formation of the successful deployment of the
activities (Oakland 2014). The utilization of the activities would be based on the alignment of the
operations favoring the deployment of the operations.

Methodology
The use of qualitative analysis would be based on the deployment of the activities
favoring the formation of the utilization of the formation. The inclination of the successive
development would also help in accumulation of the data favoring the study. The use of
qualitative data analysis would be aligned for the formation of the operations. The qualitative
data analysis would be aligned for the deployment of the activities favoring the formation of the
operations.
Types of TQM tools for project
The total quality management would be helpful for the improvement of the functions and
alignment of the successive development for the operations. The use of quality management
would also help in forming the deployment of the activities and alignment of the operations
favoring the alignment of the activities that would be aligned for the management of the
operations. The various TQM methods like Flowcharts, Histograms, Pareto charts, Cause and
effect diagrams, and Taguchi method that can be implied for the final project deliverable are
explained in the table below,
Flowcharts Flow charts are deployed for pictorial representation of the process that are
aligned with the deployment of the successive management of the
operations favoring the management of the existing management methods.
The flow chart would be deployed for forming the management of the
successive development model (Aquilani et al. 2017). The flowcharts
would be helpful for the utilization of the successive integration
management of the data collected for the operation favoring the
management of the activities.
Histograms The histograms would be helpful for the representation of the values in bar
chart and the formation of the final project deliverable (Goetsch and Davis
2014). The alignment of the activities would also help in forming the
deployment of the successful utilization of the operations favoring the
utilization of the wheat quality coefficients for various regions of the two
countries that are helpful for the formation of the analysis.

7FINAL PROJECT REPORT
Pareto Chart Pareto chart is developed considering the utilization of the data value and it
would also help in forming the analysis of the frequency data favorable for
the alignment of the improved operations. The Pareto chart would be
helpful for the formation of the improved functional development
(Oakland 2014). The bars of the chart would represent the frequency of the
values of wheat quality and the alignment of the successive deployment of
the analysis.
Cause and effect diagram The cause and effect diagram is formed for the alignment of the successive
development of the operations (Sallis 2014). The cause and effect diagram
is also known as fishbone diagram and it would provide the analysis of all
the factors of the causes impacting the project development. The fishbone
diagram would provide an analysis of the data collected for the utilization
of the data analysis.
Taguchi Method Taguchi Method is helpful for considering the statistical values of the data
and it would also help in forming the utilization of the data collected for
the project of comparing the wheat quality grown in Australia and India
and forming proper development of the activities.
