TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Total quality management defined by Richard J. Schonberger as the total quality management is a set of concepts and tools for getting all employees focused on continuous improvement in the eyes of the customer.

 A frequently used definition of quality is Delighting the

customer by fully meeting their needs and expectations.

Quality may include

performance, appearance, availability, delivery, reliability, maintainability, cost effectiveness and price

 People will produce quality goods and services when the meaning of quality is expressed daily in their relations. Inspection of the process is as important as inspection of the product. Probability of variation, can be understood by scientific methods. Workers work in the system to improve the system; managers work on the system to improve the system.

 Total quality management must be consistently translated into guidelines provided to the whole organization. Envision what you desire , but start working from where you actually are. Accept the responsibility for quality.
