QM Lecture #02: From Kaizen to AI: Mastering Customer Focus




๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Session 02: TQM & Customer Focus

1. TQM: Itโ€™s Not a Department, Itโ€™s a Culture

Total Quality Management (TQM) means:

  • Total: Everyone is involved (CEO, Manager, Driver, Janitor).
  • Quality: Meeting customer needs consistently.
  • Management: A strategy, not just rules.

Wrong mindset: โ€œI just make the product, QC will check it later.โ€
TQM mindset: โ€œI will not pass defects to the next process.โ€

2. Who Is the Customer? (Internal vs External)

In TQM, customers are not only buyers (external),
but also the next process in the workflow (internal).

The rule: โ€œThe next process is your customer.โ€

  • Restaurant example:
    The chefโ€™s customer is the waiter. Dirty plates mean failure to the internal customer.
3. Kaizen: The Power of 1% Better Every Day

Kaizen means continuous improvement through small, consistent steps.

If you improve just 1% every day, in one year you become:

(1.01)365 = 37.8 times better

4. Benchmarking: Learn from the Best

Benchmarking means learning from the best performers,
even from different industries.

Classic case: Southwest Airlines studied Formula 1 pit crews
to reduce aircraft turnaround time from 40 minutes to about 12 minutes.

6. AI & Customer Focus

In the past, companies relied on suggestion boxes.

Today (AI Sentiment Analysis):

  • AI reads reviews and social media in real time.
  • Managers immediately know what customers like or complain about.
  • Benefit: Faster and more accurate customer insight.



๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Sesi 02: TQM & Fokus Pelanggan

1. TQM: Bukan Departemen, tapi Budaya

Total Quality Management (TQM) berarti:

  • Total: Semua orang terlibat.
  • Kualitas: Konsisten memenuhi kebutuhan pelanggan.
  • Manajemen: Strategi, bukan sekadar aturan.

Pola pikir salah: โ€œQC nanti saja.โ€
Pola pikir TQM: โ€œSaya tidak meneruskan cacat ke proses berikutnya.โ€

2. Siapa Itu Pelanggan? (Internal vs Eksternal)

Dalam TQM, pelanggan bukan hanya pembeli (eksternal),
tetapi juga proses berikutnya (internal).

Aturannya: โ€œProses berikutnya adalah pelangganmu.โ€

  • Contoh restoran:
    Pelanggan internal koki adalah pelayan.
3. Kaizen: 1% Lebih Baik Setiap Hari

Kaizen adalah perbaikan kecil yang dilakukan terus-menerus.

(1.01)365 = 37,8 kali lebih baik

4. Benchmarking: Belajar dari yang Terbaik

Benchmarking berarti belajar dari praktik terbaik,
bahkan dari industri yang berbeda.

Contoh klasik: Southwest Airlines meniru pit stop Formula 1
untuk mempercepat waktu tunggu pesawat.

6. AI & Fokus Pelanggan

Dulu kita mengandalkan kotak saran.

Sekarang (AI Sentiment Analysis):

  • AI membaca ulasan dan media sosial secara real time.
  • Manajer langsung tahu apa yang disukai atau dikeluhkan pelanggan.
  • Manfaat: Keputusan lebih cepat dan tepat.
