Abstract:
Aiming at improving product quality continually, this paper proposed an association rules mining system (ARMS) based on idea of PDCA cycling. ARMS have the function of resolving problems coordinately which can integrate process parameters in various distributed processes and discover the relationship between process parameters and product quality feature. The framework of ARMS is composed of three main modules: data warehouse platform module, association rules mining module, association rules optimizing module.

Abstract:
The Field of TQM Total quality Management seeks to have all the functions in an organization integrated. IT has been a favorite subject of research specially in the areas of Service and production. The studies aimed at addressing the topic of continual improvement in the sphere of TQM and its applications. Different researchers had their individual approaches and their researches concluded differently. With this paper we attempt to do a comparative analysis of the research work done by various people in the areas of TQM, its aims, principles, models and applications.

Abstract:
Aiming at improving product quality continually, we proposed an association rules mining system (ARMS) based on idea of PDCA cycling. Data warehouse is very useful for integrating heterogeneous database. Therefore, this paper designed a data warehouse platform as process data exchange module in ARMS. The role of data warehouse platform module is to integrate XML with enterprise process for realizing process data exchange among departments. In design of data warehosue, this paper chooses three-tier data warehouse structure and snowflake schema for indicating the complex relation between process data.

Abstract:
The aim of a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) toxicology study is to provide useful information on the toxicity of a compound to a multiplicity of internal and external groups. Using the principles of total quality management (TQM), a multidisciplinary team is formed to plan the strategy for either an improvement or a change in a GLP toxicology study. The team members use their respective expertise to clarify their expectations and jointly define a common goal. Through carrying out the planned improvement or change, assessing the results, and replanning a GLP toxicology study, the stage is set for a continual improvement process. At the heart of the process is the willingness of team members to openly communicate and work together toward a common goal. The end result of using a dynamic TQM approach is that a GLP toxicology setting can result in continual improvements, better study planning, and a decrease in defects. Science and GLP compliance become members of the same team and a winning combination for successful management of GLP toxicology studies.

Abstract:
There is a global trend toward improving programs and student experiences in higher education through curriculum review and mapping of degree programs. This paper describes an action research approach to program improvement for a course-based MEd degree. The driver for continual program improvement came from actions and recommendations that arose from an institutionally mandated, year-long, faculty led curriculum review of professional graduate programs in education. Study findings reveal instructors’ perceptions about how they enacted the recommendations for program improvement, including (1) developing a visual conceptualization of the program; (2) improved connections between the courses; (3) articulation of coherence in goals and expectations for students and instructors; (4) an increased focus on action research; (5) increased ethics support and scaffolding for students; and (6) the fostering of communities of practice. Study findings highlight strengths of the current program and course designs, action items, and research needed for continual program improvement.

Abstract:
The end users' expectations for the software services are increasing. With new technologies, e.g. cloud computing and software as a service trend, the quality of the services through a full product life cycle, together with the cost of services, are key factors in making the competitive advantage in new markets. In most cases in today's business, there is always the Service Level Agreement (SLA) that has to be maintained as well. Therefore, there is a clear need for taking into consideration the complexity of the programmed solution, that is the basis of the given service, probability of an error occurrence, and all costs that will be associated with operating the service. In this paper, the important elements of the quality of the software that is considered a service to a business function are analyzed. The proposal of the six step method, which could be utilized in continuous quality improvements, is given. With this method, it is possible to better understand the root reasons for a specific service's behavior. Understanding service behavior is the key prerequisite for service improvement. The method encapsulates systematic approach in comparative analysis of the defined parameters of each service, with the same parameters of other services that belong to the same rank. These relative comparisons are proposed to be done in drill-in cycles until getting to the point of clear understanding of what makes one service better than the other and vice versa, in the given business environments. Each single conclusion on each level of cycled comparative measurements would trigger improvement action at that level. This method also provides the management with better tools to perform adequate human resources capacity planning for each software service for the given time frame. An example of the method utilization on one selected use case is given as well.
