MAIN BODY
Company wide operational improvement strategy to solve the issues/problems with QTC
The company wide quality improvement strategy for Quality Tooling Company (QTC)
will be done by identifying the issues and problems which the company is facing at large scale.
For this the operational improvement strategy is being taken into consideration at large scale.
This is done by -
Cause and Effect Analysis — Cause and effect analysis is the technique which helps to identify
the likely factors which are the causes of the problem. This means to find and analyse the main
cause of the problem which the company QTC is facing. For ensuring the improvement to be
made for the issue identified which is decline of engineering in the North East of England and
increased competition from globalization, company commanded great respect from the industry

but was untenable for long term. This cause and effect analysis can help in fixing the main cause
and the problem which is to be solved.
Implementation of TQM — TQM (Total Quality Management) is the process of continual of
detecting and reducing or eliminating the errors which are used in the manufacturing (Kaur,
Singh and Singh, 2020). Implementation of TQM helps in identifying and solving the issue and
problem which has been occurred. By implementing TQM, QTC is able to analyse and solve the
problem which is being identified. TQM implementation helps in analysing and solving the basis
of how the company is reassuring the quality measures with the help of this strategy at large
scale.
ISO 9000 — International Organization for Standardization (ISO) helps in establishing and
maintaining quality assurance an effective quality assurance (QA) system for servicing and
manufacturing industries at large scale. This is the standard which is undertaken and is initialized
for addressing the concerns related to solving the issue which QTC is facing. It is the set standard
for quality assurance to help the company effectively develop the documents at large scale. This
standard is established for analysing the concerns and solving the issue and problem which is to
be addressed appropriately at large scale.
Quality Assurance — It is the term which is signified within the manufacturing industry to
describe the efforts which are made systematic towards the customers and the products are
delivered to them upon proper performance, design and reliability (Felderer and Ramler, 2021).
This strategy being implemented for the company QTC will help in developing and solving the
issue which they are facing in the decline of engineering in the North East of England and
increased competition from the globalization at large scale. Quality assurance strategy should be
adopted so that the company is able to create value and is initiating this step to improve the work
at large scale.
Quality Control — Quality control is the process by which the companies and organizations
review the quality of all factors which are involved in the production. This is the method which
helps in solving the issue which QTC is facing as the quality measures are analyzed for the
products and services which are utilized for the production process. There was need for
improvement in the product ranges which the company is supplying to the customers. This will
help the course of business activities which are to be performed within the system. This is

helping to solve the issues and problems which the company is facing at large scale. The
products will be improved with the help of using this strategy of quality control.
Inspection — Inspection involves examining, assessing and checking. Inspection helps to
understand that the organization or the building meets the specific standards in effective and
significant manner (Yang and et.al., 2020). With the help of inspection, QTC standards are to be
met which is the operational improvement strategy being framed within the system of quality
check for the company. By inspecting, the quality of the products which are in large range are
analyzed and this helps in ensuring the basis of how effectively there are concerns regarding
solving of the issues and problems at large scale.
Process Analysis — Process analysis is the basis of rational breakdown of the process of
production into different phases which helps in framing and turning the input into output. To
understand the steps in the process of quality checking of the products and services which are to

able to improve and demonstrate the aspects which are considered and are rectified within the
production of the products to be made available to the customers at large scale within the market.
This will help in channelizing and improving the methods of production which are used within
QTC.
Quality Systems — Quality system is the specific implementation of quality standards and tools
which are used to improve the process of QTC. With the help of proper quality systems the
company will be able to analyze and address the concerns related to improvement in the
production process of the products and services at large scale (Daradkeh and Moh'd Al-Dwairi,
2018). It is very important strategy for QTC to take the charge and improve the quality of the
products and services so that there is no further decline faced in regard to engineering of the
products and services. It is the manner in which this issue of decline in engineering will be
solved at large scale appropriately.
Continuous Improvement — Continuous improvement is the ongoing improvement of products
,processes and services through breakthrough and incremental improvements. It is very
important for QTC to improve the products and services for long term so that the customers are
