Total Quality Management (TQM) . . . Contd.
1. Broad Goal of TQM is continuous improvement.2. Aims to impress upon workers the importance of
continuously improving the efficiency of the production process in order to a) Reduce Cost b) Improve Quality c) Reduce Waste
3. Workers in a TQM system are expected to make suggestions for improving all aspects of the work process and are expected to share their specialized knowledge with management so that it can be communicated through out the organization.
TQM is a rational technique which is driven by hard statistical data on the need for improvement.
Total Quality Management : Prof Bharat Nadkarni
TQM seeks to introduce improvements through four key components.1. Systems
The need for improvement in the system is revealed by statistical process control and benchmarking. Statistical process control is the accurate and continuous measurement of quality and is typified by the measurement of frequency of failures – how often and where failures are concentrated and the analysis of cause and effect. Benchmarking is the activity of using the achievements of some other organization that is very successful in delivering quality as a model of what company can achieve. TQM demands constant monitoring and awareness of best practices.

After improvement has taken place in the system, TQM ensures the quality of operations through constant quality assurance and quality control.
2. ProcessesTQM regards every activity of the organization as a point of a process. In so doing, it encourages the constant review of processes through project improvement, waste elimination, and process chain re-engineering. (revisiting the process from improvement angle)
3. PeopleYet another component of TQM is people. TQM organizations value their employees both as individuals as well as for their contribution to the growth of the organization. The value placed on the quality of individuals is demonstrated through hiring the best, enabling life-long learning, elimination of specialization,

instituting suggestion schemes, and establishing quality circles.
4. ManagementTQM requires at the top management vision and mission for the organization, commitment for quality, empowering employees, and open mind for recognizing and appreciating achievers.
