If we desire to implement Quality Management Standards on a firm or an organization then we should start it from the individual level within that firm or organization. When the each and every employee of the firm either of high rank or low rank is aware of the quality then that firm will automatically attain quality in its all process. The quality of work in a firm depends on the actions and thoughts of its employees. Thus personal quality is important to achieve excellence in all spheres of our work.
There are many tools to help you to practice quality in real work.
1. Use of personal quality checklists
2. Use of visual aids
3. Time management using QM principles
In this blog I have discussed use of personal quality checklists to practice personal quality.
Most of us use some form of the checklist (CLs) in our day to day work. The best part is that checklists work most of the time. On a more domestic front, house chores can be managed and performance improved to quite and extent using checklists. For instance writing down the tasks to be performed on a certain day and crossing them out once complete.
Similarly, a simple daily checklist used by a student might look like this (as below):
checklist of personal quality
*A score of 6 gets you an ice cream treat
*A score equal to 4 for any day or activity requires a review in planning for the next week.
*Every score less than 4 cancel an ice cream.
———————————————————————————-
Once the checklist has been framed on the basis of Task importance (i.e. all important tasks are put on the checklist), failure to carry out any of the tasks, reflects upon poor time management.
I will be discussing rest of the tools of personal quality in my further posting on quality management.
