Strategic Quality Management

Strategic-QualityManagement

In March 1980, Richard W. Anderson, general manager of Hewlett-Packard’s Data Systems Division, detailed that subsequent to testing 300,000 16K RAM chips from three U.S. also, three Japanese producers, Hewlett-Packard had found wide aberrations in quality. At approaching examination, the Japanese chips had a disappointment rate of zero; the similar rate for the three U.S. producers was somewhere in the range of 11 and 19 disappointments for every 1,000. Following 1,000 hours of utilization, the disappointment rate of the Japanese chips was somewhere in the range of 1 and 2 for every 1,000; usable U.S. chips bombed up to multiple times per thousand.

The most insightful market examiners noticed how contrasts in quality concurred with the quick authority of Japanese chip makers. In a couple of years, the Japanese had gone from a standing begin to critical pieces of the overall industry in both the 16K and 64K chip markets. Their message—purposeful or not—was that quality could be a powerful vital weapon.

U.S. semiconductor makers got the message. There has been another earnestness about quality as well. Be that as it may, how to make an interpretation of earnestness without hesitation? Administrators who are presently resolved to contend on quality have been tossed back on the old inquiries: How much quality is sufficient? What does it take to take a gander at quality from the client’s vantage point? These are still hard inquiries today.

To accomplish quality increases, administrators need another state of mind, a calculated extension to the purchaser’s vantage point. Clearly, advertise examines secure another significance in this specific situation, as completes a cautious survey of contenders’ items. One thing is sure: top-notch implies satisfying shoppers, not simply shielding them from inconveniences. Item fashioners, thusly, should move their consideration from costs at the season of procurement to life-cycle costs that incorporate uses on administration and support—the client’s all out expenses. Considerably shopper protests assume another job since they give a profitable wellspring of item information.

Eight basic measurements or classifications of value that can fill in as a structure for vital analysis:

  • Performance
  • Features
  • Reliability
  • Conformance
  • Durability
  • Serviceability
  • Aesthetics
  • Perceived Quality 

Some of these are in every case commonly strengthening; some are definitely not. An item or administration can rank high on one component of value and low on another—surely, an improvement in one might be accomplished just to the detriment of another. It is decisively this interaction that makes vital quality administration conceivable; the test to chiefs is to contend on chosen dimensions.

Performance

Of course, execution alludes to an item’s essential working attributes. For a car, execution would incorporate characteristics like increasing speed, taking care of, cruising rate, and solace; for a TV, execution implies sound and picture clearness, shading, and the capacity to get far off stations. In administration organizations—state, inexpensive food, and carriers—execution frequently implies brief service.

Because this element of value includes quantifiable characteristics, brands can, as a rule, be positioned dispassionately on individual parts of execution. Generally speaking execution rankings, notwithstanding, are progressively hard to grow, particularly when they include benefits that only one out of every odd purchaser needs. The “predominant entertainer” depends altogether on the task.

Some execution models depend on emotional inclinations, yet the inclinations are universal to the point that they have the power of a goal standard. The quietness of a vehicle’s ride is typically seen as an immediate impression of its quality. A few people like a dimmer room, however, who needs a noisy car?

Features

Similar thinking can be connected to highlights, a second element of value that is frequently an auxiliary part of the execution. Highlights are the “extravagant accessories” of items and administrations, those attributes that supplement their essential working. The line isolating essential execution attributes from optional highlights is frequently hard to draw. What is significant, once more, is that highlights include objective and quantifiable traits; target singular needs, not preferences, influence their interpretation into quality differences.

To numerous clients, obviously, predominant quality is less an impression of the accessibility of specific highlights than of the absolute number of alternatives accessible. Regularly, the decision is quality: purchasers may wish to tweak or customize their purchases.

Employing the most recent in adaptable assembling innovation, Allen-Bradley alters starter engines for its purchasers without valuing its items restrictively. Fine furniture stores offer their clients endless varieties in texture and shading. Such methodologies force overwhelming requests on working administrators; they are a part of value liable to develop in significance with the flawlessness of adaptable assembling technology.

Reliability

This measurement mirrors the likelihood of an item breaking down or bombing inside a predefined timespan. Among the most widely recognized proportions of unwavering quality are the interim to first disappointment, the interim among disappointments, and the disappointment rate per unit time. Since these measures require an item to be being used for a predefined period, they are more pertinent to sturdy merchandise than to items and administrations that are devoured instantly.

Reliability regularly turns out to be progressively imperative to shoppers as downtime and support become increasingly costly. Ranchers, for instance, are particularly touchy to downtime amid the short reap season. Solid gear can mean the contrast between a decent year and ruined harvests. PCs and replicating machines absolutely contend on this basis.

Conformance

A related element of value is conformance, or how much an item’s structure and working attributes meet built up standards.

All items and administrations include particulars or something to that affect. At the point when new structures or models are created, measurements are set for parts and virtue guidelines for materials. These determinations are ordinarily communicated as an objective or “focus”; abnormality from the inside is allowed inside a predefined extend. Since this way to deal with conformance likens great quality with working inside a resistance band, there is little enthusiasm for whether determinations have been met precisely. Generally, scattering inside determination limits is ignored.

One disadvantage of this methodology is the issue of “resilience pile up”: when at least two sections are to be fit together, the span of their resistances frequently decides how well they will coordinate. Should one section fall at a lower cutoff of its determination, and a coordinating part at its maximum point of confinement, a tight fit is impossible. Regardless of whether the parts are evaluated adequate at first, the connection between them is probably going to wear more rapidly than one produced using parts whose measurements have been focused more exactly.

To address this issue, an increasingly inventive way to deal with conformance has risen. It is intently connected with Japanese makers and crafted by Genichi Taguchi, a prizewinning Japanese analyst. Taguchi starts with the possibility of “misfortune work,” a proportion of misfortunes from the time an item is delivered. (These misfortunes incorporate guarantee costs, non-rehashing clients, and different issues coming about because of execution disappointment.) Taguchi then analyzes such misfortunes to two elective ways to deal with quality: from one viewpoint, straightforward conformance to determinations, and on the other, a proportion of how much parts or items wander from the perfect target or center.

He exhibits that “resilience pile up” will be more regrettable—all the more expensive—when the elements of parts are more inaccessible from the middle than when they group around it, regardless of whether a few sections fall outside the resistance band altogether. The test for quality administrators is obvious.

Incidentally, the two most normal proportions of disappointment in conformance—for Taguchi and every other person—are deformity rates in the processing plant and, when an item is in the hands of the client, the frequency of administration calls. In any case, these measures disregard different deviations from the standard, as incorrectly spelled names or poor development, that don’t prompt administration or fix. In administration organizations, proportions of conformance typically center around exactness and opportuneness and incorporate tallies of handling blunders, unexpected postponements, and other regular mistakes.

Durability

A proportion of item life and strength has both monetary and specialized measurements. Actually, strength can be characterized as the measure of utilization one gets from an item before it falls apart. After such a significant number of long periods of utilization, the fiber of light consumes and the globule must be supplanted. A fix is outlandish. Business analysts call such items “one-hoss shays”.

In different cases, shoppers must gauge the normal expense, in the two dollars and individual burden, of future fixes against the speculation and working costs of a more current, progressively solid model. Strength, at that point, might be characterized as the measure of utilization one gets from an item before it separates and substitution is desirable over the proceeded repair.

This way to deal with solidness has two vital ramifications. To start with, it recommends that solidness and unwavering quality are firmly connected. An item that frequently comes up short is probably going to be rejected sooner than one that is progressively dependable; fix costs will be correspondingly higher and the buy of an aggressive brand will look considerably more attractive. As a result of this linkage, organizations in some cases attempt to console clients by offering lifetime ensures on their items, as 3M has finished with its video tapes. Second, this methodology suggests that sturdiness figures ought to be deciphered with consideration. An expansion in item life may not be the aftereffect of specialized upgrades or the utilization of longer-lived materials. Or maybe, the hidden monetary condition just may have changed.

Serviceability

The 6th element of value is workableness or speed, civility, skill, and simplicity of fix. Purchasers are concerned about an item separating as well as about the time before administration is re-established, the convenience with which administration arrangements are kept, the nature of dealings with administration staff, and the recurrence with which administration calls or fixes neglect to address remarkable issues. In those situations where issues are not promptly settled and grumblings are recorded, an organization’s protest taking care of systems are additionally prone to influence clients’ definitive assessment of an item and administration quality.

Some of these factors reflect varying individual gauges of satisfactory administration. Others can be estimated equitably. Responsiveness is normally estimated by the interim to fix, while the specialized ability is reflected in the frequency of numerous administration calls required to address a specific issue. Since most purchasers liken quick fix and decreased downtime with higher quality, these components of workableness are less subject to individual elucidation than are those including assessments of politeness or models of expert behavior.

Even responses to downtime, in any case, can be very unpredictable. In specific conditions, fast reaction ends up basic simply after specific edges have been come to. In business sectors like this, unrivaled administration can be a ground-breaking selling apparatus. Caterpillar ensures conveyance of fix parts anyplace on the planet inside 48 hours; a contender offers the free credit of ranch gear amid basic periods should its clients’ machines break down.

Customers may stay disappointed even after consummation of fixes. How these grievances are taken care of is imperative to an organization’s notoriety for quality and administration. In the end, the benefit is probably going to be influenced also. A 1976 purchaser review found that among family units that started grumblings to determine issues, over 40% were not happy with the outcomes. Justifiably, the level of fulfillment with protest goals firmly connected with shoppers’ eagerness to repurchase the culpable brands.

Companies contrast generally in their ways to deal with grievance taking care of and in the significance they join to this component of functionality. Some do their best to determine objections; others utilize lawful tricks, the quiet treatment, and comparative ploys to repel disappointed customers.

Aesthetics

The last two components of value are the most emotional. Style—how an item looks, feels, sounds, tastes, or scents—is unmistakably a matter of individual judgment and an impression of individual inclination. By and by, there give off an impression of being a few examples in purchasers’ rankings of items based on taste. An ongoing investigation of value in 33 sustenance classes, for instance, found that high caliber was frequently connected with “rich and full flavor, tastes characteristic, tastes new, great smell, and looks appetizing.

“The feel measurement varies from emotional criteria relating to “execution”— the tranquil vehicle motor, say—in that stylish decisions are not almost widespread. Not all individuals lean toward “rich and full” enhance or even concur on what it implies. Organizations in this way need to look for a specialty. On this component of value, it is difficult to please everyone.

Perceived Quality

Consumers don’t generally have total data about an item’s or administration’s characteristics; circuitous measures might be their solitary reason for looking at brands. An item’s strength, for instance, would seldom be able to be watched straightforwardly; it typically should be gathered from different unmistakable and impalpable parts of the item. In such conditions, pictures, promoting, and brand names—derivations about quality instead of the truth itself—can be basic. Thus, both Honda—which makes vehicles in Marysville, Ohio—and Sony—which fabricates shading TVs in San Diego—have been hesitant to pitch that their items are “made in America.

“Reputation is the essential stuff of seen quality. Its capacity originates from an implicit relationship: that the nature of items today is like the nature of items yesterday, or the nature of merchandise in another product offering is like the nature of an organization’s set up items. In the mid-1980s, Maytag presented another line of dishwashers. Obviously, sales reps promptly underscored the item’s unwavering quality—not yet demonstrated—on account of the notoriety of Maytag’s garments washers and dryers.

Competing on Quality

This finishes the rundown of the eight components of value. The most conventional ideas—conformance and dependability—stay critical, however, they are subsumed inside a more extensive vital system. An organization’s first test is to utilize this structure to investigate the open doors it needs to recognize its items from another organization’s wares.

The nature of a vehicle tire may mirror its track wear rate, dealing with, footing in unsafe driving conditions, moving opposition (i.e., sway on gas mileage), clamor levels, protection from punctures, or appearance. Superb furniture might be recognized by its uniform completion, a nonappearance of surface blemishes, fortified edges, solace, or predominant structure. Indeed, even the nature of a less unmistakable item like PC programming can be assessed in various measurements. These measurements incorporate dependability, simplicity of support, coordinate with clients’ needs, uprightness (the degree to which unapproved access can be controlled), and movability (the straightforwardness with which a program can be exchanged from one equipment or programming condition to another).

An organization need not seek after every one of the eight measurements all the while. Actually, that is only sometimes conceivable except if it expects to charge absurdly high costs. Mechanical confinements may force further imperative. Sometimes, an item or administration can be improved in one element of value just on the off chance that it turns out to be more terrible in another. Cray Research, a producer of supercomputers, has confronted especially troublesome options of this sort. As indicated by the organization’s executive, if a supercomputer doesn’t bomb each month or thereabouts, it most likely wasn’t worked for greatest speed; in the quest for higher speed, Cray has purposely yielded reliability.

Strategic Errors

The last word is not about vital chances, yet about the most noticeably awful key oversights. The first is a face-to-face showdown with an industry chief. As with Yamaha versus Steinway, it is far desirable to invalidate the pioneer’s leverage in a specific specialty while staying away from the danger of countering. Also, a typical blunder is to present components of value that are immaterial to shoppers. At the point when deregulation opened the market for private phones, various makers, including AT&T, accepted that clients likened quality with a wide scope of costly highlights. They were before long refuted. Extravagant phones sold ineffectively while sturdy, dependable, and simple to-work sets increased huge market shares.

Shoddy statistical surveying regularly results in the disregard of value measurements that are basic to customers. Utilizing obsolete overviews, vehicle organizations ignored how vital unwavering quality and conformance were getting to be during the 1970s; incidentally, these organizations fizzled purchasers on the very measurements that were key focuses of customary ways to deal with quality control.

It is frequently an error to stay with old quality estimates when the outer condition has changed. A noteworthy media communications organization had dependably assessed its quality by estimating convenience—the measure of the time it took to give a dial tone, to associate a call, or to be associated with an administrator. On these measures, it performed well. Progressively refined market reviews led to fully expecting the business’ deregulation, and found that buyers were not so much worried about call association time; purchasers expected this would be pretty much satisfactory. They were increasingly worried about the clearness of transmission and the level of static hanging in the balance. On these measures, the organization discovered it was well behind its competitors.

In an industry like semiconductor producing gear, Japanese machines commonly require less set-up time; they separate less regularly and have a couple of issues meeting their predefined execution levels. These are unequivocally the qualities wanted by general purchasers. In any case, U.S. hardware can accomplish more. As one U.S. plant supervisor put it: “Our gear is further developed, however, Japanese hardware is greater developed. “Quality measures might be lacking in more subtle ways. A few measures are excessively constrained; they neglect to catch parts of value that are critical for focused achievement. Singapore International Airlines, a transporter with notoriety for brilliant administration, saw its piece of the pie decrease in the mid-1980s. The organization rejected quality issues as the reason for its challenges since information on administration grumblings indicated relentless improvement amid the period. Just later, after SIA requested purchaser reactions, did directors see the shortcoming of their previous measures. Relative decreases in the administration had for sure been in charge of the loss of a piece of the overall industry. Grumbling tallies had neglected to enroll issues on the grounds that the extent of travelers who composed objection letters was little—they were principally Europeans and U.S. natives as opposed to Asians, the biggest level of SIA travelers. SIA likewise had neglected to catch information about its rivals’ administration improvements.

The inescapability of these blunders is hard to decide. Narrative proof proposes that numerous U.S. organizations need hard information and are in this way more defenseless than they need to be. One review found that 65% of administrators imagined that purchasers could promptly name—without assistance—a great quality brand in an expensive class like real home apparatuses. Be that as it may, when the inquiry was really presented to customers, no one but 16% could name a brand for little apparatuses and 23% for

large appliances.6 Are U.S. executives ill-informed about consumers’ perceptions? The answer is not likely to be reassuring.

Managers have to stop thinking about quality merely as a narrow effort to gain control of the production process and start thinking more rigorously about consumers’ needs and preferences. Quality is not simply a problem to be solved; it is a competitive opportunity.

  4. Чего не умеет «муж на час»?

    Говоря откровенно, – возразил Терентьев, – и в том, что вам угодно называть «излишней вежливостью», я усматриваю только некоторую навязчивость; что же касается вашего письма, то смысл его очевиден и, по-моему, оно понято надлежащим образом. Терентьев, по-прежнему спокойно отрывая глаза от последней строчки письма и поднимая их на собеседника. В начале допроса отворились другие двери, вошел император; я сделал несколько шагов вперед, чтобы ему поклониться, он повелительно и грозно сказал: «Стой! Я только успела спрятать пузырек, как ты вошел в комнату. Заводские ребята переглянулись и, ухмыляясь, один за другим стали неохотно отступать от крыльца. Тем не менее последнее качество не настолько преобладало у Терентьева, чтобы наносить ущерб его нравственной стороне; об этом ясно свидетельствовали и добродушные глаза с замечательно умным взглядом, и приветливая, несколько сдержанная улыбка, и, вообще, все выражение открытой физиономии молодого человека. По обращению Терентьева с рабочими можно было бы почти безошибочно заключить, что он или сам вышел из народа, или, по крайней мере, стоял к нему когда-нибудь в самых близких отношениях, если бы этому столь же очевидно не противоречила безупречная, вполне европейская развязность движений молодого человека. Да ты его тепериче тут не захватишь: он на заводе; туды сходи.

    Да мы те и на веру дадим, – заметил один из рабочих. Да так, от скуки хочу осмотреть завод, – сдержанно схитрил Лев Николаевич. Все-таки, прежде чем делать какие бы то ни было заключения, – не дал ему договорить в свою [url=https://myzh-na-chas777.ru/]муж на час[/url] очередь Лев Николаевич, – я попросил бы вас выслушать меня хладнокровно. На стороне эрмитажной был устроен буфет: ряд больших растворочных дверей были по бокам развешены и украшены золотыми блюдами сверху донизу; там просил я для себя чашку чаю. На вашем месте я взял бы с собой свидетеля, который записывал бы все, что нужно, а я адвокат, и мое дело – предостеречь вас. Чтобы вполне разоблачить и разрушить ее, я мог бы начать свою историю снова, но до сих пор дело шло только о моих личных приключениях, и хотя меня стараются в них представить в дурном свете, но я надеялся, что, помимо разных мелочей, факты остаются те же, и поэтому сумеют оценить их по их значению и вывести из них справедливые заключения. Он получил в ответ, что факт изменения и даже раздвоения мыслей и ощущений по ночам во время бессонницы, и вообще по ночам, есть факт всеобщий между людьми, «сильно мыслящими и сильно чувствующими», что убеждения всей жизни иногда внезапно менялись под меланхолическим влиянием ночи и бессонницы; вдруг ни с того ни с сего самые роковые решения предпринимались; но что, конечно, всё до известной меры – и если, наконец, субъект уже слишком ощущает на себе эту раздвоимость, так что дело доходит до страдания, то бесспорно это признак, что уже образовалась болезнь; а стало быть, надо немедленно что-нибудь предпринять.

    Ты ничем тут не рискуешь; когда мне что-нибудь доверят – я могила. Полковник Брянцев, постаревший, обросший белой бородой, устав, остановился на опушке векового леса, – дубы, сосны, липы, березы, лиственницы, все было тут… Так точно; но я тут при чем же? Терентьев только кивнул головой в знак согласия, но не сказал ни слова; от доктора не ускользнула, впрочем, легкая тень неудовольствия, мелькнувшая теперь на лице управляющего. Она вышла в сад, обернулась назад и сделала моему хозяину знак последовать за нею. Извините, – с прежней живостью перебил доктора управляющий, – я не вхожу в оценку ни вашего, ни ее поступка; выразив же просто свое мнение, ограничусь вопросом, чем могу служить вам? Белозеровой. – Моя просьба, вероятно, также покажется вам… Но, г. Матов, – живо перебил его управляющий, – вероятно, г-жа Белозерова не считает нелепостью того, к чему она позволила себе отнестись так серьезно, так… Сколько я знаю г-жу Белозерову, – возразил, помолчав, управляющий, – она не из тех, которые легче убеждаются чужими доводами, нежели собственными, и с этой стороны я решительно не могу предложить вам услуг. У меня имеется покорнейшая просьба к вам…

    Чем могу вам служить? А вам на што? Близехонько. Эвто можно. А вам на што туды понадобилось? Что вам угодно? – изумилась она. Позвольте мне передать вам прежде всю эту нелегкую историю… Если в это время прибавится еще что-нибудь новое, Вы узнаете это от мистера Плеймора». А то, знаешь, в такие минуты всегда что-нибудь случается: то пуговица оторвется, муж на час Москва то запонка за диван закатится… Нет уже, брат, сам ты знаешь, до веры-то я небольшой охотник, – с улыбкой возразил ему управляющий. Как смеялся я над рассказом Дюма, пролетая на прекрасных обвинских и вятских лошадях, иногда в сутки с небольшим 160-верстное пространство от Перми до Екатеринбурга. Ребятишек теперича до пятнадцатого году Петр Лаврентьевич к работе не допущают, штоб, значит, не надсадились; только в школу ходят, да, вишь, учитель-то у них вот уж вторую неделю как хворает, дак оне и балуют, – растолковал Никита Петрович. Эвто уж как есть по твоей части: больница, значит, – снова пояснил на его вопрос хозяин. Завод был не особенно велик, но что бросалось там в глаза, явно подтверждало, что он содержится в образцовом порядке: жилые заводские строения были расположены по берегу той же самой речки, что протекала и в Завидове, только здесь она уже принимала гораздо более широкие размеры, так как завод находился версты на полторы ниже села, а не в полуверсте от него, как ошибочно сообщил доктору князь.

  7. A series of cosmic outbursts
    [url=https://blackspruty4w3j4bzyhlk24jr32wbpnfo3oyywn4ckwylo4hkcyy4yd.live]btrhbfeojofxcpxuwnsp5h7h22htohw4btqegnxatocbkgdlfiawhyid.onion[/url]
    Pons-Brooks recently captured the attention of astronomers after exhibiting intriguing behavior that caused the comet to have a horned appearance and soar through our solar system.
    The comet has experienced a number of outbursts during the past eight months, causing it to eject gas and dust. While such releases are not uncommon in comets and a crescent or Pac-Man shape has been observed in other ones, it’s difficult to tell what is normal for Pons-Brooks.
    https://bsp2tor.com
    зеркала блэк спрут
    “I would say it’s somewhat unusual in the number of outbursts it’s been having,” Schleicher said. “On the other hand, it’s not like you have good records from the past to really let you know what is typical. And I suspect given the fairly large number of outbursts that have happened over the last eight months, that this is very clearly a usual occurrence for Pons-Brooks.”

    Comets are chunks of dust, rock and ice, essentially frozen remnants from the formation of the solar system. They also contain frozen elements such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

    Comets heat up and brighten as they approach the sun, and some of the frozen gases stored in comets don’t need to warm up much before they begin to turn into vapor, Schleicher said.

  8. Elon Musk has been getting Trumpier. A direct line to Trump may be next
    [url=https://bs-gl.org]blackspfgh3bi6im374fgl54qliir6to37txpkkd6ucfiu7whfy2odid.onion[/url]

    Elon Musk has sought to accumulate political capital commensurate with his extravagant wealth. In the past year, Musk has publicly opined on global conflicts, met with numerous world leaders and US senators to discuss artificial intelligence and his space and satellite technologies. And he has courted senior Chinese officials on their home turf.

    Now he is reportedly exploring what could be his next political project: Becoming an adviser to Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
    https://blackspfgh3bi6im374fgl54qliir6to37txpkkd6ucfiu7whfy2odid.ltd
    bs2best.at
    Musk has discussed advising Trump should he win the 2024 election, the Journal reported, citing unnamed sources. Musk called Trump directly via cellphone to explore a role that could potentially give Musk significant influence over US policies. It’s not clear based on the Journal’s reporting which party initiated conversations about the potential role.

    The Trump campaign did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment; Musk also did not respond to the Wall Street Journal, but Brian Hughes, a Trump campaign spokesperson, told the outlet: “President Trump will be the only voice of what role an individual plays in his presidency.”

    Musk pushed back on the Journal report in a post on X Thursday, saying: “There have not been any discussions of a role for me in a potential Trump Presidency.”

    However, a potential role in a future Trump administration could expand upon the role that Musk played in the previous Trump administration, when he served on two business advisory councils before quitting them over Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement.

    The privilege of whispering in Trump’s ear, should he win reelection, could give the billionaire – who is increasingly steeped in the rhetoric and imagery of the conservative culture wars – even more power on the global stage. Reporting that Musk and Trump’s relationship has improved comes after Musk’s politics have become more aligned with Trump’s.

    Musk has made supporting right-wing causes — and extremism, in some situations — increasingly central to his identity. He has vocally opposed Covid-19 lockdowns and embraced anti-vaccine ideology. He has elevated conservative speech on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter that he purchased in 2022. And he has pushed racist conspiracy theories about immigration.

  19. The Criminal Prosecution of Roman Vasilenko, Founder of “Life-is-Good” and the “Best Way” Cooperative, May Be Discontinued

    According to several sources, the criminal prosecution of Roman Vasilenko, founder of the “Life-is-Good” company and the “Best Way” cooperative, may be discontinued—primarily due to the socio-political resonance it has created. This includes mass protests by cooperative shareholders, including members of the Special Military Operation (SMO) and their families in various regions, who are unhappy that their funds have been blocked in accounts for two years, preventing them from either retrieving the funds or purchasing an apartment.

    The Case

    The criminal case, which investigators link to the St. Petersburg-based marketing company “Life-is-Good,” the foreign investment company “Hermes,” and the “Best Way” consumer cooperative registered in St. Petersburg and operating throughout Russia, was initiated in the fall of 2021 by the Main Investigative Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. It was transferred to the court in February of this year and is being heard by the Primorsky District Court of St. Petersburg.

    Ten people are on trial: technical employees of “Life-is-Good” and Viktor Vasilenko, Roman Vasilenko’s 83-year-old father, a pensioner.

    The criminal case being considered by the Primorsky District Court raises many questions—initially and increasingly as the trial progresses. Three charges are brought: creating a financial pyramid, fraud, and organizing a criminal community. The total damage amounts to 282 million rubles, which is incomparable with the more than 8 billion rubles seized in the case, including 4 billion on the accounts of the “Best Way” cooperative. The investigation recognized 221 citizens as victims in the case.

    Who is Vasilenko?

    Roman Viktorovich Vasilenko is a St. Petersburg business consultant, founder of a network of independent entrepreneurs promoting financial products under the aegis of his company “Life-is-Good,” and founder of the International Business Academy IBA.

    The network under “Life-is-Good” promoted competitive products such as “Vista” passive income accounts from the foreign investment company “Hermes,” registered in Belize, and installment-based apartment purchases through the “Best Way” cooperative, where initial contributions could be made or accumulated in a cooperative account interest-free.

    Unlike “Hermes,” Vasilenko was the founder and chairman of the “Best Way” cooperative until spring 2021 (later serving as head of the supervisory board for about a year). Since spring 2022, he has been an ordinary cooperative member, not part of its governing bodies.

    Vasilenko has worked not only in Russia but also in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Ukraine, Cyprus, Austria, and Hungary. Cooperative housing projects have been established in many of these countries.

    Vasilenko is also known as a philanthropist who has invested millions of rubles in supporting federal business initiatives (the “Synergy” forum), cultural initiatives (the “Dobrovidenie” festival), and other charitable activities, including supporting children’s medical institutions.

    Roman Vasilenko was also charged in the ongoing criminal case, declared wanted, including through Interpol, as he has been living abroad for family reasons since the COVID-19 pandemic, as he told the press. However, sources indicate that Interpol and foreign states, including neighboring countries where he also actively works, deemed his prosecution unjustified. Another criminal case against him is being investigated by the Main Investigative Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of St. Petersburg, concerning the “Life-is-Good” leadership team.

    Clients and Shareholders Protest

    The trial in the Primorsky District Court has not been going well for the prosecution and state authorities. The majority of those who have testified so far have made claims for amounts ranging from a few hundred to a few tens of thousands of rubles, raising questions about the relevance of such sums in a criminal court. Additionally, many recognized as victims are making financial claims for non-refundable fees and commissions, which they agreed to in their contracts. For example, Dolyan, a recognized victim, closed his contract with the cooperative several years ago without complaints but filed a police report demanding the return of a non-refundable entry fee of just over 100 thousand rubles, prompted by an investigator’s suggestion.

    Most “Hermes” clients, numbering over two hundred thousand in Russia, and tens of thousands of “Best Way” cooperative shareholders, blame law enforcement for their problems. They assert that a St. Petersburg system administrator for “Hermes,” Evgeny Naboychenko, disrupted the Russian payment system. The cooperative’s accounts have been almost continuously frozen for over two years due to prosecution requests (the cooperative has repeatedly won court cases to lift account freezes, but only once for about a month did payments proceed without bank blocks).

    Thousands of shareholders and their families have held rallies and meetings in support of their cooperative. Three waves of rallies swept across Russia last year, from Kaliningrad to Khabarovsk, including events supporting the cooperative on the eve of the presidential elections. Hundreds of appeals have been sent to the president’s direct line.

    Among the affected are hundreds of shareholders participating in the SMO and those with family members in the SMO. They are outraged that while they or their relatives defend the country at the front, they face what they consider injustice at home.

    According to the “Best Way” cooperative council, shareholders have sent over 17,000 appeals to various authorities, including more than 360 to the Russian President’s Administration.

    Summary

    According to the cooperative council, during the entire confrontation with St. Petersburg law enforcement, “Best Way” shareholders have filed over 17,000 complaints and appeals to various state and law enforcement agencies, including:

    – More than 5200 petitions to investigators to lift account freezes
    – Almost 800 complaints under Article 124 of the Criminal Procedure Code (complaints to the prosecutor and head of the investigative body)
    – More than 560 complaints under Article 125 (judicial review complaints against investigative actions)
    – Almost 40 complaints under Article 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code from shareholders with complete debt repayment documents, unable to register property ownership
    – About 90 petitions to lift apartment freezes
    – More than 50 civil lawsuits from shareholders for damages caused by St. Petersburg law enforcement actions
    – A collective complaint to the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia signed by 901 people
    – More than 900 complaints to the Investigative Committee of Russia
    – More than 950 complaints to the FSB of Russia
    – More than 500 appeals to the FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov
    – More than 450 complaints to the Prosecutor General of Russia Igor Krasnov
    – More than 360 appeals to the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia
    – More than 1340 complaints to the qualification board of judges about judges’ decisions affecting the cooperative
    – A complaint to the Supreme Court of Russia signed by 851 people
    – An appeal to State Duma Deputy Anzhelika Glazkova signed by 884 people
    – More than 480 appeals to the Central Bank to exclude the cooperative from the Central Bank’s blacklist
    – More than 700 appeals to Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova
    – More than 360 appeals to the Russian President’s Administration
    – More than 500 appeals to the president’s direct line from cooperative shareholders

    The cooperative enjoys significant support in various Russian regions, notably from local deputies. In Bashkortostan, a law on tax benefits for cooperatives was essentially adopted for “Best Way.”

    The authors of the appeals hope that given the socio-political situation surrounding the criminal case and the cooperative’s social benefits for Russia, including support for SMO participants, law enforcement will make fair decisions, allowing the cooperative to continue its work unhindered.
