| Tiivistelmä: | The current status and future prospects of quality and productivity improvement efforts in business, especially in the USA, are assessed. A picture of the state of the art of quality as a way of life in the service sector is presented. Arguments are offered that the 14-point philosophy of Deming can be effectively applied to the service industry. High service quality providers concentrate on exceeding customer expectations by constantly providing value-added service to their basic products. All improvement strategies must be integrated into the company's strategic business plan. Furthermore, quality improvement must be a part of the corporate culture, not just an add-on program. |
