IN QUEST OF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES: EVIDENCE FROM TURKEY

Proposal: Architectural design companies increasingly recognize that time spent on management is not at the expense of their production and there are always better ways to organize business.

description Proposal: Architectural design companies increasingly recognize that time spent on management is not at the expense of their production and there are always better ways to organize business. Although architects have long placed a traditional emphasis on quality, quality management is still a new concept for the majority of architectural design companies, which have to organize relatively more complicated operations nowadays to meet their clients’ expectations. This study aims to understand how architectural design companies define quality and explores the extent to which Total Quality Management (TQM) principles like continual improvement, employee involvement, customer satisfaction and others can be pertinent in these companies. Adopting a qualitative research strategy, the authors interviewed with the owner-managers of 10 widely-recognized architectural design companies of different size in Istanbul. The results from the content analysis of semi-structured interview data suggest that i) TQM principles cannot be directly applied in architectural design companies without an appropriate translation; ii) special characteristics of design services are important to explain quality-related perceptions of owner-managers; iii) the owner-managers feel the pressure from the changing internal and external environmental conditions, however few of them adopt a systematic and documented approach to quality management. Architectural design offices which aim to establish a quality management system can benefit from this study to understand potential problem areas on their road.

Projeto de arquitetura gestão da qualidade total (TQM) implementação Proposal: Architectural design companies increasingly recognize that time spent on management is not at the expense of their production and there are always better ways to organize business. Although architects have long placed a traditional emphasis on quality, quality management is still a new concept for the majority of architectural design companies, which have to organize relatively more complicated operations nowadays to meet their clients’ expectations. This study aims to understand how architectural design companies define quality and explores the extent to which Total Quality Management (TQM) principles like continual improvement, employee involvement, customer satisfaction and others can be pertinent in these companies.

As empresas de projeto de arquitetura cada vez mais reconhecem que o tempo dedicado à gestão não onera a sua produção e que há sempre maneiras de organizar melhor as atividades empresariais. Embora arquitetos tenham colocado durante muito tempo uma ênfase tradicional na qualidade, a gestão da qualidade ainda é um conceito novo para a maioria das empresas de projeto de arquitetura, que, hoje em dia, têm de organizar operações relativamente mais complicadas para atender às expectativas de seus clientes. Este estudo visa compreender de que modo as empresas de projeto de arquitetura definem qualidade e exploram os limites nos quais os princípios da gestão da qualidade total (TQM), como melhoria contínua, envolvimento dos funcionários, satisfação do cliente e outros, podem ser pertinentes para essas empresas. Adotando uma estratégia de pesquisa qualitativa, os autores entrevistaram os proprietários-gerentes de 10 empresas de projeto de arquitetura amplamente reconhecidas, de diferentes tamanhos, em Istambul. Os resultados da análise de conteúdo dos dados de entrevistas semi-estruturadas sugerem que: i) os princípios do TQM não podem ser aplicados diretamente em empresas de projeto de arquitetura, sem uma tradução adequada; ii) as características especiais dos serviços de projeto são importantes para explicar as percepções de proprietários-gerentes relacionadas à qualidade; iii) os proprietários-gerentes sentem a pressão da mudança interna e externa das condições ambientais, porém poucos deles adotam uma abordagem sistemática e documentada para a gestão da qualidade. Empresas de projeto de arquitetura que têm como objetivo estabelecer um sistema de gestão da qualidade podem se beneficiar deste estudo para conhecer as áreas potencialmente problemáticas que encontrarão.
