Theme of the 60th (2019) Quality Awareness Month:
~Make customers satisfied, with all concerned parties engaged~
2019 is the 60th anniversary of Quality Awareness Month, which commenced in Japan in 1960. Around that time, upcoming trade liberalization instilled a sense of crisis in the Japanese people as they feared that their products might not sell well. Manufacturers, distributors, and consumers, all strongly felt the necessity to create an atmosphere whereby quality management activities would be enhanced. 1960 marked 10 years since the fully-fledged implementation of quality control in Japan. The concept had already been propagated to small and mid-sized companies as well as large corporations. Consumers also frequently heard the phrase “quality control” in mass media.
Currently, many Japanese people have a feeling of crisis for the future because there still remain many problems to resolve and substantial turnaround to achieve. Quality management is becoming increasingly important as it is one of the key factors in resolving issues and promoting change. Some examples of the existing problems and of the revolutions taking place include: globalization; the creation of new customer values; the effective use of information technology; the realization of a safe and secure society; streamlining in various industries, especially in the service sectors; reforms in working styles; and sustainable development in the protection of the global environment. This crisis should be overcome through the collaboration of industry, government, and academia. However, differing points of view about quality management are obstructing such collaboration.
We need to overcome the hurdles and to unify points of view relating to quality management. To achieve this goal, let's go back to the basic definition of quality management. It is a set of activities to improve the quality of products and services and to create new values. This definition should be shared with a broad audience, not only with senior management in quality-related departments, but also frontline employees in indirect sections. Why should this happen? If the quality of work improves, it will result in higher quality products and services.
What progress are you witnessing in product management activities in your company, department, and section? If we have all already worked enthusiastically on quality management, we should feel proud of our efforts and relish the sense of empowerment. If not, we should review what we have overlooked or neglected. If we synergize the commitment of each individual towards quality control and unify all their exertions, the resulting impact will clearly be visible across all of Japan.

Quality management is becoming more and more important because it is one of the keys to solve problems and to promote change. Examples of the problems and revolutions include globalization, creation of new customer values, effective use of information technology, realization of a safe and secure society, streamlining in various industries especially in the service sectors, work style reforms, and sustainable development taking care of the global environment. This crisis should be overcome through collaboration among industry, government, and academia. However, people's different views about quality management are hurdles against collaboration.
To unify people's view about quality management, let's go back to the basic definition. It is a set of activities to improve the quality of products and services and to create new values. This definition should be shared among various people: not only top management in quality-related departments but also frontline people in indirect sections. Why? It is because if the quality of work is improved, it will result in higher quality products and services.
How is the progress of product management activities in your company, department, and section? If we already have enthusiastically worked on quality management, we should feel proud of the effort. If not, we should review what we have overlooked or neglected. The synergy created by the exertion of each person's commitment will lead to a great result in the entire Japan.
