UNDERSTANDING QUALITY & TQM CONCEPTS
1
WHAT IS TQM?
 TOTAL: Everyone associated with the company is involved
in CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT (including its customers &
suppliers if feasible)
 QUALITY: Customer’s expressed and implied needs and
requirements are met fully
 MANAGEMENT: Executives are fully committed.
TQM is a system approach for the continuous improvement of
all organizational processes through total participation of all
employees, resulting in high quality products and services to
attain customer satisfaction.

TOTAL ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE (TOE)
3
WHO DETERMINES QUALITY?
THE CUSTOMER
“Any one who receive or is affected by the
product, service, or process.”
CUSTOMER IS GOD
(CHINESE SAYING)
CUSTOMER IS KING
(JAPNESSIES SAYING)
4
CUSTOMERS’ NEEDS
• EXPECTED NEEDS
– Are typically what one gets by just asking customers
what they want.
• STATED NEEDS
– Are the obvious / compulsory requirements. For example,
if meal is served hot, customers hardly notice it. If it's
cold or too hot, dissatisfaction occurs. Expected
requirements must be fulfilled.
• LATENT NEEDS
– Beyond the customer's expectations.
– If provided , customer would be excited
– If not ,they would hardly complain
TQM: A “CULTURAL” CHANGE
 Responsibility is pushed down to “empower” the
people who know the most about the job,
process or service.
 TQM focus is on the process;
 TQM separates the improvement process from
people personalities and egos. “Top-down”
management styles disappear.
 Reporting levels are reduced/streamlined.
 Management’s role shifts to more emphasis on
coaching.
 Jobs are not eliminated, but job content may
change

 David Garvin found that most definitions of quality were
either TRANSCENDENT, PRODUCT–BASED, USER–
BASED, MANUFACTURING–BASED, or VALUE–BASED.
 TRANSCENDENT:
 “Level of Excellence”
 PRODUCT BASED:
 “Product Attributes”
 USER BASED:
 “Fitness for intended use”
 VALUE BASED:
 “Quality Vs Price”
 MANUFACTURING BASED:
 “Conformance to specifications” 17

8 Conformance to
Standards
