Course Description
This Quality Systems, Models and Theories course gives you all the information you need to be a quality systems educated professional. In less than 3 hours you are going to learn about Quality Practice and Quality Systems Theory.
You will learn about the importance of creating a clear quality mission and policy and the steps required to do so. You'll also learn about the developing and deploying a quality plan and a system for measuring its effectiveness.
Quality Practice
Quality Mission and Plans. Developing a quality mission requires collaboration among all organizational units, and is completed using several steps that we are going to learn together. The quality plan is a set of documentation that outlines an organization's quality practices, processes, and resources relating to a particular product or service.
Quality Plans Deployment. Every employee within an organization plays a part in the deployment of a quality plan. Upper management, middle management, and operative employees each play a unique and important role in rolling out the quality plan.
Measuring Effectiveness. Managers have several tools available to them to measure the strengths of their quality systems, each of which can give them a solid understanding of system effectiveness. The balanced scorecard is, one example, a measurement system that organizes a company's strategies into four balanced categories: financial, customer, internal business process and learning and growth.
And this course will provide you with a solid overview of the many different quality models and theories companies can use to improve their performance, as well as the impact various quality theorists have had on the quality movement.
Quality Systems
ISO 9000. The ISO 9000 standards are based on eight principles of quality management that can be applied by senior managers to improve their organizations. Registration and implementation of the standards can provide companies with several benefits.
TQM. Total quality management (TQM) describes a Japanese-style approach to quality improvement, in which all members of an organization work to improve processes, products, and services, as well as their organization's culture.
CQI. Continuous quality improvement (CQI) recognizes the changing nature of customer needs. With its ultimate goal of customer satisfaction, CQI encourages managers to analyze capabilities and processes so they can be constantly improved.
Kaizen. Japanese companies use the term kaizen to describe continuous improvement at every level of an organization, which leads to improved products and services.
Six Sigma. Six Sigma has become a world standard and is significant to today's organizations that are using the methodology as part of their broader total quality management efforts to reduce process defects.
Benchmarking. An organization can use benchmarking to measure itself against best-in-class companies so it can improve its own performance. By using information gleaned from analyzing top competitors' practices, an organization can set and achieve goals that are both competitive and attainable.
Quality Theorists. Although there are far too many to discuss in detail, some of the key pioneers who have made significant contributions to the quality movement include Philip B. Crosby, W. Edwards Deming, Armand V. Feigenbaum, Kaoru Ishikawa, Joseph M. Juran, and Genichi Taguchi.
So, If you are interested in quality management and want the compact and information rich version of Quality Systems, Models and Theories, than this course is for you. (HARVEL-YDQ8N)

Course materials are obsolete and can not be built upon for today's quality standards. I could not reach more than 35/37 lectures (despite the course being completed), and hence could not print the certificate for completion
By Pekka Stenlund on 1/4/2023
A great introductory course for everyone who is interested how to improve quality in their organization or in the work processes. Thinking about improving quality in automated customer support has played important part in my work during the past 6 months, so it was great to have an overall introduction to different systems, models and theories. The end task actually expanded to a more extensive documentation of creating quality plan and defining quality practices, processes and resources.

TL,DR: The content is a good broad introduction, but explanations are so chopped it compromises the video pacing. It is a quick introduction to Quality Management in general. Even though some references are outdated (ISO 9001 version, for example), it is a good course to start before digging deep in each concept individually. I must say a GIGANTIC down point is the pacing of the classes... The audio was drastically chopped, leaving no pauses between explanations of concepts or bullet points, what makes it very hard to understand in one go (constant pauses are impossible to avoid). Mismatch between what is shown in the video and explained by the narrator (video is ahead of the explanation) is also extremely common, making it even harder to understand. In the end, you make a very high effort to learn those basic concepts from the videos.

Sorin is a top-notch instructor, and he does an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way. The course is well-organized and covers a wide range of topics, from Deming's 14 Points to Six Sigma methodology.
By Katherine Thornton on 4/8/2020
This was a very informative course, mostly of the headlines of "what quality is" rather than the "how to implement". The course provides the quality management options that are available and the theorist behind them. In my experience, if you have been in Quality Management through natural company growth or have joined a new company, this will put more meaning behind daily practice and give you the ability to see the stem of how things were implemented. Sorin is very clear and uses concise information and allows reflection time for each new topic. Each section is broken into manageable sections. Thanks Sorin!
By Cesare Albricci on 8/21/2018
This course was absolutely phenomenal. Definitely applicable from Day 1 to small business and corporate giant alike. I will absolutely stay on the lookout for more courses by the instructor. This is an excellent course for quality management as well; many of these concepts are applicable in marketing jobs today and will remain relevant due to the nature of how people think and process information.

I have always her about quality in the work place but never get the full concept. This lession has given me a new insight of what true quality is about and what it really entails. The lecturer is very clear in his explanation and therefore this makes it easy to follow along. I have learnt a lot about the importance of quality in our work place and most of all to fight by all means not to have cost of non-conformance because that can results in our productions being recall.
