Total Quality Management and MDA
Everyone wants a perfect quality management system, right? Quanlity management systems can really vary quite dramatically. There are many inexpensive quality control, assurance and management systems on the market that can be implemented. But theyquite often come up short when it comes to ease of use and feed back to the customer. I probably don't need to tell anyone that creating a certificate of analisys with an inexpensive QC system can be more than a challenge. Another area where inexpensive systems generally fail is on the data entry side. Most companies and plants for that matter vary so greatly that data entry and duplication of entry is generally a big problem with an outr of the box product.
TQM software helps organizations create adaptive quality management systems that span the enterprise. A cooridinated TQM strategy ensures consistant quality accross diverse business units.
The down side of creating systems from scratch with a programmer is that the systems become outdated rapidly. Techchnology changes every couple of years and it seems that just as you've implemented your Total Quality Management Systems they become old and outdated. MDA is a technology that is can reduce the need to rebuild quality systems that become outdated. MDA is a technology that isolates business logic from the user interface. In other words, the custome part of the software is maintained seperately from the portion of the system that is provided by the software vendor. The ability to keep the specialized business practices seperate from the vendors software allows the user to create special features which allow the users to enter data more easily than they can with canned software. In addition, training become much easier. A highly configurable system allows it's users to implement interfaces that make sense in the culture they are placed in. There are not a bunch of options for the employees to trip over that they don't really use. The best part is that when Microsoft decides it's time for new technology an MDA total quality management system can be brought up date without a lot of reprogramming effort.
