Introduction

How many works devoted to the theme of quality, but this topic does not lose relevance. Whatever the product is industrial or consumer, we always pay attention to quality. People have always tried to define quality. The ancient Greeks and Romans, who gave us astronomy, physics, mathematics, philosophy, and strove for perfection. The concept of quality can be identified with the notion of perfection or the standard.

In modern society this topic is not losing its specificity and its taste. There are new inventions, new trends of motion. The world is developing, it is moving forward. Set new goals and targets, becomes a new task. And quality, new concepts and new challenges

If previously the quality was allocated as a property, now it is a science. The topic I have chosen is not accidental. Every day we have to deal with this concept. If you look from the point of view of the pyramid Maslow, the first basic need is physiological and how here not to address the quality of food, quality of sleep, quality of care? The second tier of the pyramid is safety. Security is a separate property included in the quality concept. And the top of the pyramid is the need for self-fulfillment and then the person thinks about the quality of life. In all areas we face with the quality in the material and non-material side of life.

Quality of life, music, education, health care, food, metal products, etc. the list goes on and on. In this work, will be considered the strategic objectives in the quality control of products

Any products has its own standards and these standards as everyone else, need to know how to lead. This task confronts the managers of any level and need to know how to make the best of any situation. Any Manager knows that all the spheres need to follow a complex that everything is in a close relationship. And if you suffer one, it entails all the rest. Select the quality as a separate industry and determine its relationship to such industries as marketing, Finance, risk, potential business, image, etc.

The aim of this work is the study and improvement of the quality management process.

Main objectives - to consider current trends and the quality management principles, to determine the right strategy and choose the tools of quality management.

The object of study is the process of quality management, its basic principles.

The subject of the research – the quality of the company products.

1. Improvement of quality management systems

TImprovement as a factor, even the most important, continuous improvement of products, however, cannot be implemented without the appropriate quality management system. The content of the improvement and its significance also depends on the level of the system. To correctly, with minimal errors, to predict the development of methods for quality improvement, it is necessary to consider dynamics of development of quality management systems, providing appropriate levels of improvement.

Should first be noted that it is generally accepted systematisation, and especially classification, quality management systems do not yet exist. Many foreign and domestic authors on the quality of offer their methods of systematization, which you can agree or suggest your own. Almost everyone recognizes that each new quality management system is not created at the new location, and the result of the accumulation of new means and methods of management is being reformed in a new system, to the maximum extent appropriate current at the time the leading economies of the world. The resulting system works as a higher type. Quite naturally, a new quality management system finally develops almost at the peak of the current forms of economy.

Tracing the history of the development of the economy, we can distinguish several stages of organization of works on quality[1] .

The first stage, an individual form of work organization. It is characterized by the fact that one worker decides independently all questions of creation, manufacture and sale of products, incurring responsibility for its quality. This is in keeping with demanufacture handicraft production, as well as the characteristic modern self-employment, when the scale of the production process does not require a deep division of labor.

This initial form of labor upon closer examination discovers all the elements of modern quality management process:

The second stage – craft form of work. This form of work caused by the transition to manufacturing production. For it is already characterized by the division of functions and responsibility for quality. Managers or owners of the shop identified the so-called policy in the field of quality, determined the kind of products that are in greatest demand, and the requirements for it. Master organize production, establish the sequence and content (i.e., technology) works. For the quality of work bore the responsibility of the employee and the master for the organization of work.

With the growing scale of production formed the independent service control, and in the production of weapons – and even "sovereign supervision". Under the influence of the development control functions began to form the impression that control is the main if not the only means of achieving high quality products. There is a certain fetishization of the role of control in the mechanism of quality management. The Guild form of control exists in our time on many small businesses. The third stage is the industrial form of work. This form connected with further growth of the production scale, the deepening of concentration and specialization. At this stage, the allocation function of the development and design of new products in the independent professional unit or organization. For the third stage is characterized by the strengthening of the role and value of such production units as the design, testing, technological training. Along with this, these areas of work is not considered as links in a single chain in the General system of the work quality. In the field of work as there is a process of deepening technical division of labor on a number of private functions in different professional groups, departments and people. Technical division of labour is not only differentiation but also integration of production, the labor process. Intensify contacts with suppliers of raw materials and components. In the as drawn a growing number of services and participants

Along with this industrial form of work is also characterized by inconsistency, unclear interaction between design and technological services, production and technical control, etc., which causes many misunderstandings in the quality assurance, directly reducing it, slowing down the pace of the creation and development of new products, reducing the efficiency of work quality. This form works as prevailed in the first half of the last century. However, abroad since the mid 60-ies under the influence of the intensifying of market competition, quality problems began to be discussed not only in industrial branches but also at the management level of firms, which began to understand the crucial importance of quality in the welfare of the company. Some works of A. Feigenbaum (USA) is viewed with concern, that the care as laid out at all, obespechivaetsya can become a draw [2]. In Japan there is a new approach to quality based on the idea of participation of all staff in control of their own activities, explore and develop methods to improve quality. In Russia many enterprises have developed new approaches to the organization of work in quality, different from the traditional (PI, NORMS, CANARE, etc.). The development of production and the increasing role of product quality demanded to take the next step in the development of forms of work organization with the purpose of enhancing the interaction of all departments and services to ensure quality.

The fourth stage is the systematic organization of works on quality. To the 80-th years of 20-th century at us, and abroad all the more clearly felt, that the quality control even with the full reinforce and scale-up, increasing the number of objects and participants cannot substantially change in the status of quality products. Control, even a General, could not provide solutions to the many issues that sharper put practice: how changing quality requirements with the development of technical progress, as the quality depends on demand, how to achieve continuous upgrading the quality, etc. In order to combine all possible quality improvement in a single complex, it was necessary to penetrate deeper nature of quality, to understand what forces and in what order to participate in the process of creation, fabrication and product updates, find patterns to create the management system which guarantees continuous quality change. So gradually, from the mid 80-ies formed the universal quality management system (TQM), which absorbed all that was best in preceding systems of quality management, and enriched with standards ISO series 9000 and new approaches in quality management principles[3]. In some works, the establishment of quality management systems is counted from the end of the 19th century, when production began on the application of standards, Metrology, there was an Assembly line. To this period belong the work of F. Taylor on the introduction of tolerances in the design documentation, which laid the scientific foundations of management[4]. Polish scientist K. Lisiecki in 1997 proposed an interesting graphical chart of the evolution of approaches to quality management (Fig. 1.1). In this scheme there are no development of Soviet specialists and scientists in the period 1955-1978 years. Historically it would be correct Lisiecki scheme to complement these developments, which was done by A. Pichevin in[1]. Already today it is possible to distinguish two prospective factors: methods for robust planning of Taguchi and knowledge management (sharp increase in the share of intellectual labor staff of the enterprises). In our opinion, it is in these areas will develop the quality management system.

The practice of leading companies shows that a common set of quality requirements of products must be ensured at all stages of the product life cycle with continuous updates. The paper presents an interesting scheme of quality management , which includes the following blocks:
