Accordingly, I think the Quality Manager or Quality Director (or any other title an organization choses to confer) has a duty/goal/function of helping the individual members of the organization understand the "big picture" of the organization and how their individual roles (when performed properly) help the organization achieve and maintain that "big picture."I believe an effective Quality Management System (QMS) is a profit center, NOT a "cost item."
My entire career has been centered on the concept "Quality should be involved in every aspect of a company - including executive planning, administration, marketing, purchasing, design, production, shipping, and service."
This concept holds true whether the company is a manufacturer or service company (banking, insurance, communications, transportation, construction, janitorial, etc.) The major emphasis is on pleasing or delighting the customer while maintaining or increasing organizational profitability. (In the case of non-profits, does the organization's performance delight both recipients and the contributors? If so, the organization will continue to thrive.)
I put more emphasis on "big picture" and "company culture" than on metrics. If all the members of the organization are indeed working together, metrics are a natural function of identifying areas to improve. If the organization is NOT working together, the imposition of metrics can be draconian and serve to divide the culture even more.
