SummaryIn the last years several point of care testing (POCT) systems used for coagulation parameters have been developed and became daily routine. As for other POCT applications (e. g. blood gas analysis) there is a need for user education and continous improvement of quality assurance.For some POCT coagulation systems a comprehensive quality management has not been established yet. According to the feasibility and availability of control material and system self control each POCT coagulation method described in this article has a varying concept of quality management. Besides a high quality standard in manufacturing systems, devices and reagents the education of the user and the automatic self control of the instrument as well as the application of electronic and/ or liquid control samples contribute to the total quality assurance.Even if a “like versus like” control material is not available a comprehensive quality management should be implemented in daily routine concerning pre-analytic as well as technical and post-analytic criteria.Anyway to do nothing as the available control material seems to be not suitable is a bad decision.

The study used quantitative approach through structured questionnaires developed from previous research. Among 450 survey questionnaires distributed, only 379 questionnaires were accepted and used for analysis. Study uses SPSS 22.0 to analyze data. Methodologies such as Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis were conducted in analyzing the data. Findings revealed that quality assurance is having a positive relationship with physical facilities, employee commitment, communication, and employee competencies, with the overall results of the multiple regression analysis showed that all independent variables have relationships with the dependent variable at p=0.000. The result of this test also indicated that all independent variables have positive beta coefficient value as physical facilities, employee commitment, communication and employee competencies at 0.372, 0.251, 0.064 and 0.103 respectively. Thus, this study adds to better understanding of the total quality management (TQM) which is the main underlying theory used to develop the research framework. In general, Total Quality Management (TQM) advised on the factors such as physical facilities, employee commitment, employee competencies, and communication that when applied, could get the best result of employees.

Broad Overview

In earlier decades several studies made on Total Quality Management (TQM) practices in small and medium scale enterprises. By compiling the various research works that were carried out during 2010-2015 in the field of Small and Medium-Scale Industries (SMSIs) TQM can be broadly conceptualized in to as flexible and rigid practices. From the limited level of investigations so far made on the various research works it has lead in identifying the different factors that influence TQM practices in SMSIs and its supplementary growth. The purpose of this article is to examine the influence of flexible and rigid TQM practices in SMSIs. It gives a broad overview of how TQM practices are constructed and how it acts on the various quality improvements. This work is expected to widely sensitize the TQM practices in SMSIs and how quality assurance in organizations will have to gain its place in future.

Product Specifications

This article explains a logical, seven-step approach that helps to solve problems of on-time product and service delivery with profit. The first step is to obtain product specifications. The next step is to design a method for producing the product, including the design and purchase of equipment and production processes, if required. Scheduling for production is the coordination step; if not done well, it will spell doom for the company. Coordination is the key to purchasing raw materials in accordance with the schedule. Next is the transformation phase of raw materials to finished product—actual factory production—which is commonly called the value-added step. The quality assurance phase of monitoring results for technical compliance and cost control is an ongoing process of constant vigilance and continuous improvement. This step seeks to ensure that the product or service is being provided in accordance with the plan, a plan that includes technical, schedule, and cost goals. The best companies use total quality management (TQM), whereby improvement is continuous, as exemplified symbolically by the TQM triangle.

The implementation of total quality management is applied to every educational institution as an effort to improve the quality of education. In this case, it is important to carry out management functions in each educational institution. This article discusses the implementation of total quality management in educational institutions to seek to improve the quality of education in achieving a quality standard in education. Every educational institution should show better quality and be able to compete. This is intended so that educational institutions continue to gain the trust of the public and stakeholders. To continue to get this, it must be improved continuously, both physically and non-physically. So as to make a quality educational institution and guaranteed quality. There are several main things that need to be considered in implementing total quality management in the world of education, namely: continuous quality improvement; determine quality standards, cultural change; changes in the organization; and maintain relationships with other agencies and customers and evaluate the system if anything is not appropriate
