The importance of quality to privatefirms comes in the form of increasedmarket share and cost savings.
Likewise, quality precedes reputation.

TQM works on the assumption that constant
improvement in quality is the key tosuccess. The qualitybanner is interpretednot only as quality of product or service,
but quality in its every manifestation, i.e.,quality of work, quality of people, quality ofobjectives. TQM considers defects
inefficiencies which if ignored would costthe organization much more had they beenaddressed earlier.

SIX (6) QUALITYMANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
1. Customer-centerednessThis is in consonance with thecustomer obsession component. TQM
has been defined as a people-focusedmanagement system that aims atcontinual increase of customersatisfaction at continually lower cost(Roberts and Sergesketter 1993:2)
7/27/2019 7TQM
22/33
The customers are accorded the
highest performance and TQM compelsan organization to constantly improveits processes and do better according to
their respective needs and expectations.However, some literatures emphasizethat while customers constantly go to
the organization for service, it does notnecessarily mean they are satisfied.

2. Effective Leadership
Deming highlights the importance ofgood leadership, citing that 80% ofquality problems is caused by
management, and 20% by employees(Domningo 1994:9). This does not meandownplaying the equally important role
of the employees, but it just stresseswhere the responsibility
7/27/2019 7TQM
24/33
of establishing unity of purpose and
direction lies. It is up to the leaders tocreate an environment that fosters totalquality. The operating level of a
company looks up to their leaders fordirection and motivation. Thus, leadersare required to promote opencommunication and clear organizational
vision. If management fails in thisresponsibility it is expected thatdiscontinuities will follow.

3. Personal Involvement and StrategicPartnerships
Personal involvement substantiatesthe empowerment component of totalquality management. Empowerment ofthe people involved, i.e. employees andcustomers, develops into lasting
partnerships, especially when each hasidentified his/her own personal growthand development with the organizations
vision. This important connection
between personal aspirations and actualwork responsibility defines a moreproductive outcome that is personalleadership.

4. Systems and Process Approach
- Process approach is deemed as an
efficient manner of meeting requirementsof both internal (employees) and external(clientele) customers. In this principle,
there is the need to correlate the resourcesand activities involved with theresponsibilities and interfacing of functions
throughout the whole process.Troubleshooting of problems can be in theform of process improvements.

5. Continuous Improvement- Just like the kaizen practice of the
Japanese, quality improvement shouldbe seen as a continuous activity. Demingdescribes this through the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, said to have been firstdeveloped by Dr. Walter A. Shewhart(QMP 1998). The cycle, which actuallyrefers to planning of activities implementing the plan- checking theresult-improvement of the process, has
now been standardized as benchmarksand criteria for several qualityimprovement efforts and practices.

6. Informed Decision Making- In the system approach, scientific
method is cited as one the philosophicalfoundations to quality and processimprovements. There is a need to practicemanagement by fact more thanmanagement by opinion. Likewise, dataand scientific reasoning have beenemployed to guide and evaluateperformance and quality, in order to secureand build upon the gains from pastimprovements. This contends that only aninformed decision can effectively guide theorganization in achieving results.
