Total Quality Management (TQM) is an enhancement to
the traditional way of doing business. It is a proven technique
to guarantee survival in world-class competition. Only by
changing the actions of management will the culture and
actions of an entire organization be transformed.
Analyzing the three words, we have
Total—Made up of the whole.
Quality—Degree of excellence a product or service provides.
Management—Act, art, or manner of handling, controlling,
directing, etc.
Thus TQM is the art of managing the whole to achieve
excellence.

TQM separates the improvement process from people
personalities and egos. “Top-down” management styles
disappear.
