IMPACT OF QUALITY
CONTROL AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL IN PRODUCT STANDARDIZATION
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF
THE STUDY
Product quality and price constitute vital factors that
consumers consider in the choice of product. Unfortunately however, the
qualities of products continue to decline due to a number of factors. First and
foremost, the production cost and other considerations have placed a heavy
burden on product quality since as the economy weakens, the quality of a
products is being sacrificed for quality at a relatively lower price. Secondly,
most manufacturer have a realization that to survive in a recessionary economy
such as ours, there is the need to review prices downwards to induce patronage
from the low income groups all these are threats to quality.
In the seven-up Bottling company industry the nature of the
existing completion where by foreign manufactures dominates the markets in
Nigeria provides serious challenge to the indigenous manufacturers. Foreign
products are often preferred by most Nigerians on the basis of quality,
durability, price, colours, etc. this constitute an important competitive
advantage to the foreign manufacturers and a threats to the indigenous company.
This calls for effective quality control in our seven-up
industry to enhance product standardization and to favourably compete with
other producers.
This study is an attempt to provide a realistic approach to
quality control in seven-up bottling company.
Quality control is the comparison of products and services
with a set standard. Total quality involves customer satisfaction by building
in and ensuring quality from product planning to production, purchasing sales
and services. In total Quality Management (TQM), everybody is involved and not
just the quality control staff alone.
1.2 STATEMENT OF
THE PROBLEM
The quality of product may be defined in terms of its kinds,
type, character, property, degree of goodness or excellence.
However, most present day, goods including seven-up company
are produced or manufactured by massive production method on machines which
repeatedly produce almost identical units owning to the uncontrollable
variation in the quality of the processing machines, variation of the manufactured
product are bound to occur.
If a company’s product is to satisfying the customer’s
requirement, then it is necessary for the company to establish standard for the
functions and appearance aspects of its products as well as for the durability
requirement, then this is the general requirement for setting up an quality
control department to ensure that standards is adhere to.
Quality of seven-up products some times fail to meet
specification because of some assignable causes, defective materials, improper
setting of equipments, operation errors, manpower and many others unassignable
causes because it cost the same amount to produce goods unit, emphasis should
be on prevention rather than error detection.
Thus, the attainment of suitable quality depends upon the
appropriate human performance or behavior when the product is being made.
Consequently, conflict arises between quality control personnel and production
personnel, when this happens, it is the managers responsibility to resolve the
conflict. In the economic depression in our society today, man becomes corrupt
and can go at any length to compromise standard for their personal benefits.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF
THE STUDY
Against the background of the enumerated of the organization,
the following are the objective of the study.
1. To examine the
process of quality control technique in printing industries in particular to
Seven Up Bottling Company.
2. To also
highlight it importance in reducing the cost of correcting effective product in
printing industries in particular to 7Up Bottling Company.
3. To also
determine the impact of quality control techniques on profitability in printing
industries in particular 7Up Bottling Company.
4. To preset
impartial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of Higher National
Diploma in productions and operation management.
1.4 STATEMENT OF
HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis is a statement of facts that has not being
practically tested. It is an opinion or suggestion put for ward as a starting
point for investigation leading to some findings.
To guide this study, the null hypothesis (Ho) and the working
hypothesis (Hi) are developed by the researcher to be tested and a decision in
either to accept or reject any of the hypothesis will be taken.
Ho - Null Hypothesis
H1 -Working Hypothesis
H0: Quality control
techniques does not have significant impact on product standardization of an
organization.
H1:Quality control techniques have significant impact on
product standardization of an organization.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
The significance of the study is to enlighten corporate
bodies, individuals and numerous organization on the need for quality control
and product standardization of both money and capital markets and to facilitate
their understanding of how they can mobilize capital with minimum difficulty.
Therefore, the study will have a stimulating significance to
students and scholars intending to enhance their acknowledge in this filed.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE
STUDY
This study of quality control as an effective tool in product
standardization is the aim of research to beyond the elementary understand the
subject at hand. To enlighten the reader and given deep insight or illumination
on quality control in product standardization and their interaction,
relationship, quality connection, influences and enhancement that occur.
1.7 LIMITATION OF
THE STUDY
Actually, this piece of work ought to be voluminous than what
it is not but, due to the factors encountered by the researcher during the
period which are beyond my control.
The seven-up company plc-Kaduna, it is hoped that this write
up will bring about desired and improved change in their quality control
process and habit. Therefore, the project is aimed at examining the term
quality control as it affects the standard of a product.
Inadequate finance brought delay, time wasting and access to
total comprehensive information and data, hence, that is clearly understand or
financial crisis is part and Persil of student. The crash academic programme of
the researcher couple with lecturer combining service with supervising of
project pose problem or threat in its way.
Lack of prompt innovation and initiative ability by company
staff and new product failure. Financial deficiency by the company, all the
process of new quality product development involves money (huge amount). It is
never done over night, it takes time, labour.
Another factor that limiting the scope of this study was
financial constraint, since movement involved transportation. The researcher
has to reduce the number of times on contact with the company used as a case
study.
There was also a problem of response from questionnaires
distributed, most of the customers and distributor of seven-up plc, products
requested for explanation before filling the questionnaire those who could not
get explanation return their questionnaire unfilled, while some did not
complete theirs, this provided inadequate information as to testing
hypothesis.
More so, lack of adequate text book was another problem the
researchers work faced, since the researcher major work faced, since the
researcher major source information was from secondary source most of the text
books required to derive information, from were not available with all this
problems, the researcher has to rely on the few information gotten to carry out
the research work.
1.8 HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND OF THE CASE STUDY
Seven-up Bottling company Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading
carbonated soft drinks (CSD) manufacturers, was founded by Mr. Mohammed
