What will they come up with next!! I just got "You can't beat Woody's" :biglaugh:

My quality slogan from the site...

"Quality is rolling, the others are stoned."

Don't know exactly what that means, but I think I like it ... :thedeal: :beerdive:

I still like one of the first I ever heard - one of Deming's I believe:

"You don't have to do any of this - survival isn't compulsory." :agree1:

Or alternatively, go to the sloganizer site and get:

"Quality - a safe place in an unsafe world!" :cool:

"You can put your shoes in the oven - but it don't make them biscuits"

Make them sign a form that says:

I will hereafter produce no defects.

_X___________________________

or a sign that says, "increase productivity!" (man running up stairs)

Not being facetious, I really think Deming's examples from Crisis are funny. I also think that a good quality slogan does go a way into increasing a person's pride of workmanship and pride being on the job. Usually. Or sometimes.

;) maybe.

Quality is Job1...yeah right

Quality is Job1...yeah rightOddly enough, that phrase, dripping with irony, is the first one that leapt to my mind. Too bad the execution didn't match the catchiness of the slogan.

Quality is Job1...yeah right


lol what about:

Quality is Job number 1763!

or

Quality Schmality....

oops I'm overly synical :lmao: :bonk: sorry I can't help!

but I have a good one for ISO 14001 if anyone's interested:
Practice Environmental CPR: Conserve resources, Prevent pollution, Recycle.

How about the following slogans. I especially like #10.

Bill Pflanz

1. Create constancy of purpose toward improvement of product and service, with the aim to become competitive and to stay in business, and to provide jobs.

2. Adopt the new philosophy. We are in a new economic age. Western management must awaken to the challenge, must learn their responsibilities, and take on leadership for change.

3. Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis by building quality into the product in the first place.

4. End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag. Instead, minimize total cost. Move toward a single supplier for any one item, on a long-term relationship of loyalty and trust.

5. Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to improve quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease costs.

6. Institute training on the job.

7. Institute leadership The aim of supervision should be to help people and machines and gadgets to do a better job. Supervision of management is in need of overhaul as well as supervision of production workers.

8. Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company

9. Break down barriers between departments. People in research, design, sales, and production must work as a team, to foresee problems of production and in use that may be encountered with the product or service.

10. Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the work force.

11a. Eliminate work standards (quotas) on the factory floor. Substitute leadership.

b. Eliminate management by objective. Eliminate management by numbers, numerical goals. Substitute leadership.

12a. Remove barriers that rob the hourly worker of his right to joy of workmanship. The responsibility of supervisors must be changed from sheer numbers to quality.

b. Remove barriers that rob people in management and in engineering of their right to joy of workmanship. This means abolishment of the annual merit rating and of management by objective

13. Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement.

14. Put everybody in the company to work to accomplish the transformation. The transformation is everybody's job.

Well, I tried sloganizer...umm...wow....

"You can't stop Steel!" - Apparently, they've seen us cobble (folks in the industry will know what I mean).

"Steel - You see this name, you think dirty" - Hey!...our new baghouse took care of that little issue!

"The Queen of Steel" - Awwww....I'm :o

"Don't play with fire - play with Steel" - So much for having fun around the furnace.

"Swing your Steel." - The world's most dangerous square-dance...doh see WHACK!

Sloganizer: "Fabrication is better than chocolate"

How about: Quality is whatever the Customer says it is.

We can't spell QUALITY without "U"....unless, of course, we outsource our manufacturing to a maquilladora and then we spell "CALIDAD" so we don't need "U" anymore....:lol:

Oh dear... notice what a bunch of skeptic dourheads we seem to have become. *sigh*

OK, I'll ask the stupid questions here...

What's a "Calidad"? Second, what's a "dourhead"? I'm really behind in my quality jargon I guess!!! :yes:

What's a "Calidad"?
LOL - I assumed calidad is the spanish word for quality because I know that a maquiladora is Mexican factory.

What about the Nike slogan: "Just Do It!" As one of the Covers use with their signature.

However, that might be a violation or infringement on Trademark, copyright or something using a known slogan from Nike.

Maybe that would be a violation or infringement on Trademark, copyright or something.I don't think that's a problem. Not that I'm an expert, but I believe for a trademarkor slogan to be infinged on there has to be some confusion between the parties. If a cover used that slogan you would be hard pressed to show that, but if Addidas used the slogan, it would be another story.

I wasn't saying anything negative regarding the Cover, just providing a slogan from Nike that could be applied to Quality.

Old phrases from the 70's

Production: "When in doubt, ship it out"
Quality: "When in doubt, scrap it out"

Some years ago I had a client who ran a small shop with a bunch of really rough guys. He said their Quality Policy was "We Make Good S**T!

I was an eager, rookie auditor and I said, "you can't make that your policy!" He said, "why not, there's nothing in the standard?"

So, he said, go ask my guys if they knew what the company's quality policy was...
...everyone knew it, and I agreed he was right - it was a god policy!

Poor Quality
+
Poor Service

NO JOBS

A rejected entry during our Quality Slogan contest. :bonk:

One of my clients quality policy starts with "focus on the customer" -

a very serious suggestion by an auditor - to make sure 'everyone' read it, was to post on the inside of a bathroom stall.

Once he realized it, we just all laughed.....

Saw this one somewhere on the net: Starbuck's organigram...

Hmm, cant reproduce it really, the vertical line is in the middle ;-)

Well I dont think HQ will be bowled over by too many of those.....but boy oh boy have I had a laugh reading the thread!
:biglaugh:

I think we've proven that there are no non-cheesy slogans and that in general, slogans are cliche....unless you work for someone who is strong enough to be different.
Wish that was my corporation
:notme:

Meanwhile Im going back to some more "sloganizering". Its way more fun than keeping the customers happy

Dating myself but in the early 80s with the J car launch (remember the Cadillac Cimarron?) GM came up with "Don't ship unless it is 140"

Meanwhile Im going back to some more "sloganizering". Its way more fun than keeping the customers happy

lol it is fun
"The goddess made Quality" - there's a goddess of quality? can I get a statue of her to pray to before an audit?

"My Quality is mine" - and you can't have it?

"It's not a dream. Quality is real!" - um ya...you haven't worked here!

"Quality takes good care of you" - I'll remember this at 2am when i'm pulling an all nighter the day before an audit

"Life's beautiful with Quality" - now that's just funny

"You don't want Quality as your enemy" - no...you don't want the quality department as your enemy :)

"Kick *** with Quality!" - I'll remember that next time I need to kick some butt


but these aren't too bad:
One goal, one passion - Quality
Let's Quality!

lol it is fun
"The goddess made Quality" - there's a goddess of quality? can I get a statue of her to pray to before an audit?

Actually, the Quality Goddess is one of the Covers. Maybe she can send you a photo or statuette! :biglaugh:

We make textiles. My general slant on the matter is as follows:-
The machines are the same, the raw materials the same, the process routes are the same (as our competitors). The only thing that is different are the people. Following this logic, we came out with - Quality people make quality fabric. - The implication being that useless fabric is made by.....:whip:

Poor Quality+Poor Service

NO JOBS

A rejected entry during our Quality Slogan contest. :bonk:No wonder. It's negative. Turn it around to something positive like. "Good Quality + Excellent Service = Security"

My dad started a funeral home in the early 50s. The company grew in a veery short time to be one of the largest in northern Ohio.
The initials of the funeral home were DQ. His slogan and the way he managed the business was "Dedicated to Quality". He would not sacrifice quality for any reason.

Oh dear... notice what a bunch of skeptic dourheads we seem to have become. *sigh*I could not find the meaning of the word dourheads, but I believe that most seasoned quality people understand that quality slogans and quality posters do not motivate the workforce, thus the skepticism turned into humor. If an organization needs slogans, catchy phrases, posters to "drive" quality, they simply don't get it.....

How about this one:

"<insert your company name here>, where quality IS a slogan!"

What do you think??

Make the dadgum product right or you're fired!
<printed underneath a scowling mug shot of the president who is pounding his $10,000 mahogany desk with one hand and holding a $100 Cuban cigar in the other.>
That ought to stop the show.

But seriously, how about:
Satisfied customers don't complain.
Or
You are the only one who can satisfy the customer.

I think some people tend to take Deming #10 a little too seriously. Obviously, signs and posters "exhorting" everyone to X% reject rate without giving them any real tools to accomplish the task is moronic. But a "We Make Good Sh1t!" slogan that everyone believes in can't be all bad, can it?

Let's not forget the one from despair.com
http://images.despair.com/products/demotivators/quality.jpg

despair.com is great. I love their whole Demotivators line.

Here's another slogan...

Customer Satisfaction: We're not satisfied 'til you're not satisfied.

"quality - Think different"

"Do it with quality." (No comments gentlemen)

"Quality Is Job 3 or 4... just ask anyone in Production"

Hi Colleagues!
My favourite QS slogen is the following: "Don't have to check the quality, have to produce it".:D
KR: dervish-z

From the Sloganizer "Quality, your family will love you!"

Don't "Control" Quality.....Let it Run Rampant!!!

Wayne

Somebody already mentioned my slogan....Sooooo....

"That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

For motivation:
"The floggings will continue until morale improves"

For contemplation:
"**** the torpedoes....full speed ahead"

I'm pretty sure Microsoft trademarked this slogan - better check before using it!:rolleyes: ;)

You old cynic! :lol:

I couldn't help trying that sloganizer thing. It came up with:

Gert is the sound of the future.

I've gotta love that!!! :applause: :applause: :applause:

I know what I would like to change mine to:

"What are you looking here for?!" :biglaugh:

Come now, the best I've ever head is this:

"We've upped our Quality, so up yours!"

Better, Cheaper, Faster

Better, Cheaper, Faster
Sorry, Larry, but you cannot have it Better, Cheaper and Faster. You must pick two of three. Example:

We can make it Good and Cheap, but it won't be Fast.
We can make it Cheap and Fast, but it won't be Good.
We can make it Good and Fast, but it won't be Cheap.

There are many Quality Professionals that believe that Good, Cheap and Fast are all attainable en masse via slogans, etc. No new training, tools or methods should be necessary. They also believe in the tooth fairy, leprechauns, Sasquatch, and 10 lb. smallmouth bass.:lmao:

"While everyone is talking about Quality"
"We enjoy doing it, like everything we love"

In the late 50's, China had a "Great Leap" movement, motivated by Mao's slogan, "MORE, FASTER, BETTER AND CHEAPER'. He wanted everything good. And the results? big recession and starvation that killed 30 million (unofficial number) in the early 60's. :mg: ,:mad:

It didn't kill anyone and that slogan worked even better then planned due to the hard-working people of the state. If you believed Mao. :bonk:

In my opinion, it is time to accept the new reality that customers are o longer satisfied with pick two of the three.

Many things are indeed becoming Better, Faster, AND Cheaper. Computers and electronics are two examples.

I would even argue that cars almost achieve that aim. The prices have not gone up much, but the list of standard features is huge.

How about "Quality is as Production does"

How about "Quality is as Production does"

Or rather "Quality is as Everyone does." It's not just all in the hands of Production.

IMHO it lacks the cynical connotations that I get when I read "Quality is as production does" :cool:

IMHO it lacks the cynical connotations that I get when I read "Quality is as production does" :cool:

My sense of humour is normally quite accomodating and yet, while I can appreciate the implied sarcasm in "Quality is as Production does", it is, in my opinion, this kind of attitude which promotes the silo-approach to Quality.

If we wish to advocate - or better yet...if we wish to encourage - the belief that everyone has a role in Quality, that everyone plays a part in our Stakeholders' satisfaction, we need to lose the cynacism and sarcastic attitude.

Just because "that's the way it's always been" does not mean that this is how it will always be. However, changing people's attitude will be a lot more difficult if we, in the management systems field, do not change our own attitude.

This means doing more than watching what we say, but also how we say it and how we live it. If I adopted the belief that Production alone was responsible for Quality, then I do not belong in my job or this profession.

Computers, electronics, cars. Better, cheaper, faster happens by magic? Automation, error-proofing, automation. The error-proofing and automation of everything from order entry (you pick it yourself and then review it right on the web and then it is delivered right to Dell's or HP's assembly line with bar coding to ensure all the parts are actually installed and configured properly) to actual production (robotic electronics assembly is standard in even the smallest eletronics companies and robotic welding and paint are standard at automobile factories) to delivery (the shippers for those PCs are bar coded right from the data you entered) is built right into the system. See above, the tools to do all this are not cheap up front. You must be willing to invest capital in new training, tools and methods to achieve "better, cheaper, faster", not just exhort people with slogans and watch this fiscal quarter's bottom line.

You're right, it does not happen by magic..., and certainly not by slogan. But, the neat thing is, it is happening.

Or rather "Quality is as Everyone does." It's not just all in the hands of Production.

True, but production has the biggest impact on product quality. Quality should support production, but at the most basic level, we don't have the opportunities that a machine operator does. They see every part that is made and can catch bad parts or any number of other mistakes (ie. wrong labels, worn insert, process problem etc.) at a much higher rate than a box auditor who looks at x number of parts out of a box of y number of parts times the number of machines that are running.

I know that in the "big picture" Quality brings a lot to the table in terms of improvements and I also know that Quality is everyone's job and all that. I was trying to be a little cynical, but trying to provoke thought at the same time.

While I can appreciate the thought you were trying to provoke, personally, I feel it is the wrong approach. By saying it is in the hands of Production - and yet admitting that everyone has a role - you are opening up the possibility of finger-pointing when things go wrong.

"Not my job...Production is responsible for quality."

What about Receiving who inspects incoming parts/products?

What about Engineering who is responsible designing a defect-free product/process?

What about Shipping who is responsible for ensuring product gets to the customer on time or dealing with a carrier who do just that?

I guess I look it from my own organization's point of view, where everyone, no matter what their job function, recognizes who their customer is (internal and external) and understands what their role. Perhaps that is a benefit of having a business management system versus a quality management system. Everyone views the system as a process with integrated concepts of quality, safety, environment, finance, etc. We try to avoid the silo-approach to how we do our jobs.

I wasn't slamming your slogan, Andrew, but I just believe that when there is a visual indicator that Production is responsible for Quality, the culture will shortly embrace that attitude.

A company I used to work for had a similar one: "Quality is created within the process."

If you know your quality isn't up to snuff you could say
"Free employee with every shipment."

Quality First!

If you know your quality isn't up to snuff you could say
"Free employee with every shipment."

I don't know about cheesey, because our shop is REALLY run by this statement, but here goes anyway...

Quality
Is never an accident;
It is always the result of the highest intentions, sincere efforts, intelligent directions, and skillful executions;
It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.
Ecclesiastes 9:11

:cool:

Posted at a Silicon Valley used computer parts store:

"Items guaranteed not to work...it so, please return!"



The Madfox

Quality first...or we send the boys round!!! ;)

I just remembered when I was first looking for a summer job when I was younger. I did a mass send-off of resumes and cover letters which stated "Doing it right the fist time." Yup....fist time...not first. Figured there was no point in re-sending the corrected letters to those places. :o

At one company I worked for we had the slogan "Quality Without Compromise". Of course we cynics had to blank out the first three letters of 'Compromise' so it read "Quality Without promise". :notme:

"Every organization is perfectly designed to produce the results it's getting."

I use this one when I introduce APQP.

One of my clients had this on the GM's office wall -

"If you don't take care of the customer, ...someone will...!"

The best I heard was "Quality? ok maybe next year"
