QUALITY and TQM
The provision of a quality product or service will be a major contributing
factor between staying in the business of failing to survive.
Typical weaknesses of companies are:
Sticking to old procedures, not changing Excessive departments Excessive control and dictatorial attitude to staff Accepting a certain level of error Fire-fighting reactive instead of proactive management
Quality: Quality is the totality of features or characteristics of a product or
service that bear on its ability to satisfied a given need. The quality of a
service can only be determined by the customer. If the customer is not
satisfied, the service, in his view, was not good.
Quality control: the operational techniques and activities that are used by an
institution to fulfill requireents, i.e. checks and measures
Quality assurance: preventing quality mistakes and providing an error-free
service.
Quality assurance are the arrangements by which an institution discharges its
responsibility for planed and systematic activities to provide adequate
confidence that the product or service will satisfy giver requirements for
quality.
Quality audit: a systematic and independent examination to determine
whether quality activities and related results comply with planned
arrangements and whether these arrangements are implemented effec tively
and are suitable to achieve objectives.
Customers use 5 main categories when evaluating service quality:
1. Tangibles:physical facilities, equipment, personnel etc.2. Reliability: the ability to produce the service required accurately3. Responsiveness: the willingness to provide customers with prompt,
helpful service
4. Assurance: knowledge and courtesy of employees, their trust andconfidence

TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Total Quality Management (TQM) is an all encompassing philosophythat involves and effects all aspects of a company and its business. It has
been stated that the philosophy has an impact on all aspects of the life of an
organization and its people.TQM moves beyond the focus of meeting specifications, document
control, internal non-conformance and inspection, to an environment thatencourages continuous improvement, innovation and an obsession with
delighting customers by exceeding their expectations.The only true measure of success can be given by the organizations
customers. The key to achieve a state of taken for granted is to develop an
organizational culture totally dedicated to the customer whether they beexternal or internal. For organizations who adopt TQM, the distinction
between employee and customer satisfac tion is no longer valid:
TQ means managing and serving the employees as well as the customer.TQM relies completely on the attitude, understanding and commitment
of the organisations top managent to embrace the philosophy and
incorporate it into everything they do.
Training and education are vital, as the participation and the change in
the behavior of management which are invariably required.
Objectives and Principles of TQM:
For TQ to bring about reach business improvements, it has to be appliedthroughout the whole organization from the top to the bottom.
The top level managent must demonstrate clearly their commitment toTQM and that the issue of quality is a serious business concern which affectsall employees. Within all operating departments basic changes of attitude
will be required if TQ is to succeed. If top management do not recognize
and accept their responsibilities for the development and implementation
of TQM, the chances of failure are high.
Systems and techniques are important in TQM but they are not the mainrequirement. TQM is more concerned with attitudes of mind, teamwork, and
a determination to do well all the time in essence, a total commitment to
delighting the customer and exceeding their expectations. Team members should be accountable for their own performance Continuous improvement.
TQM is about changing attitudes and skills so that all work processes carried
out by every individual in the chain of events are done right first time, rightevery time.
The introduction of a successful TQM program is based on three key elements:
1. Quality assurance systems

Meeting and exceeding customer needs can rarely be achieved
without the development and implementation of a quality assurance
program. The quality assurance program ensures that the objectives setout by the management, often documented as the quality policy, are
achieved at every time.
2. Quality tools and techniquesTQM requires that the process should be improved continually by
reducing any variations to set standards. This can be achieved by studying
all aspects of the work processes and constantly searching for ways toimprove them. All processes can be monitors and compared by gathering
and using data more effectively. Continuous improvement demands
continuous education in and application of the tools of quality
improvement.
3. TeamworkTeamwork is essential for TQM. Teamwork throughout any
organization is an essential component of TQM since it builds up trust
and improves communication.
The benefits of teamwork:
Being able to tackle a greater variety of problems The opportunity to harness a pool of knowledge and expertise Developing and building on ideas and suggestions more
easily Generating more diverse ideas A more rewarding and fun process. Efforts of team members should be recognized. Worth should be generated.
Implementing TQM:
Points which form the basis for moving forward:
Total commitment to continuous improvement The requirement to do it right first time Understanding the customer-supplier relationship Recognition that improvement of systems must be managed A commitment to ongoing education and training. The integration of tea work and the improvement of
communication
The development of a systematic approach to the implementationof TQM.

and the reasons for implementing TQM established.
