Operational Excellence

Juran, An Attain Partners’ Company’s mission is to change the world by disrupting the status quo and improving the organizations and lives we touch.

Juran was built on Dr. Joseph M. Juran’s scientific and pragmatic approach to attaining excellence.  Dr. Juran was one of the key advisors to Toyota and many global companies. His research and pragmatic approach to improving organizational performance through management of quality led to his popularity which continues today. Dr. Juran passed away in 2008 at the age of 103, but he lives on through his Institute that is now entering its 45th year in operation.

“Superior quality always leads to sustainable business results.”

Superior quality goods and services will result in sustainable financial results because goods and services that are superior to the competitors’ are salable. Goods and services that are salable because of quality continually drive revenue and maintain lower costs, leading to greater profitability. The pursuit of superior quality will transform the business and create a culture of excellence.

Superiority in quality from a customer perspective does not just happen. The business must make quality happen. Quality happens when the organization sets the strategic direction with a relentless pursuit to be the best in quality.

Organizations that attain superior results by designing, controlling, and continuously improving the quality of their goods and services are often called world-class or vanguard companies. They have achieved a state of performance excellence. Organizations that have attained a state of superior quality are well respected by customers because their products and services exceed customers’ expectations, which leads to sustainable business results. This pursuit of excellence through quality management methods creates greater customer,  stakeholder, and employee satisfaction,   which enables the organization to sustain performance over a longer term.

Managing Quality Is Not Optional

A common argument occurs among managers when asked, Does high quality cost more, or does high quality cost less? Seemingly they disagree. One-half agree that it costs more, and the other half feel it costs less. They are both right. The culprit is the word quality. It is spelled the same way and pronounced the same way, but has multiple meanings. To manage for superior quality and results, leaders must define the word quality from the perspective of customers—those people who buy the goods, services, and even the reputation of your organization.
