About Total Quality Management


Combining communication practices to create effective meetings, more inspired decision making, and better teamwork, total quality management is what will distinguish you from others at your business.

The method is designed with a primary goal: to meet performance requirements of your customer through the development of an effective business operational model. More specifically, total quality management is the foundation for:
  • Meeting Customer Requirements
  • Reducing Development Cycle Times
  • Just In Time/Demand Flow Manufacturing
  • Improvement Teams
  • Reducing Product and Service Costs
The Principles of total quality management include:
  1. Quality can and must be measured and managed. Its improvements must be continual and planned. And every employee must participate.
  2. Everyone has a customer and is a supplier.
  3. Processes, not people are the problem. Problems must be prevented, not just fixed.
  4. Goals are based on requirements, not negotiated.
  5. Life cycle costs, not front end costs.
  6. Management must be involved and lead.
