The society in which we live in today is one that is filled with competition. The entire flow of the business world is based off of the competitive advantage of a company in comparison to another. When you think about a fast-food restaurant for example, you often have a couple choices that come to mind. One day you can say you’re McDonald’s because their dollar menu deal is right in conjunction with your budget. Then, one day you see an advertisement for Burger King saying that there is a special that they are running and now you can afford to go there and eat. What exactly made Burger King run a special? Well in order for a business who is offering the same or similar services as another business to be able to survive, they must compete in terms of doing whatever is necessary to attract more customers. In the world of transportation, we often see so many new cars come into existence that it would be almost impossible to say that we don’t notice the competition between sellers. With competition in mind, there is something that must always be considered by a company in terms of being beneficial to a company, and that is the quality of what they have to offer and sell. The total quality management of a product is one thing that is going to be the determining factor of how well a product sells, and how much revenue a company will bring in because it is the responsibility of everyone involved with a company to help that company flourish.
First and foremost we must know what Total Quality Management is. Total quality management is, and has been defined as a type of approach that is used to improve quality and performance in such a way that it will exceed all expectations of the customer (Murray, 2011). Total quality management tend...

Total quality management (TQM) involves the application of quality management principles to all aspects of the business. TQM requires that the principles of quality management be applied in every branch and at every level in an organization. Typical of an organization going through a total quality process would be a clear vision, few inter-departmental barriers, employee training, excellent customer relations, and the realization that quality is not just product quality but also the quality of the whole organization to include those functions that do not directly interact with the customer or the production of goods and services. In this paper, the TQM approaches of BAE Systems Information Technology (BAE-IT), and Philips Semiconductor will be compared and contrasted for style and process. First, the paper will look at the organizational vision and mission of BAE-IT.

Meaning that Total Quality Management is not a process used to achieve a goal, but instead
The term was coined in the ‘50s and became popular in the ‘80s. It is viewed by some as a drastic management style. A robust TQM plan depends on external and internal team building. The leadership level and the organizational culture have to blend well together. If they don’t, the process should be implemented only when precise assessment and positive circumstances exist. TQM is the techniques a company uses to raise the service quality and production efficiency. It involves solid teamwork and is implemented horizontally within a business. Typically all internal employees and departments are included. The same applies for externals such as suppliers and current and potential customers. The fundamental goal

It consists of strategic planning, organizing and implementing each process activity and of removing all the wasted effort and energy that is routinely spent. It is a methodology of strategic overview of quality and focus on prevention not detection of problems.
Various studies on TQM measurement have led to the identification of practices which are commonly cited as part of a TQM program. These practices include management leadership, training, employee relations, quality data and reporting, supplier quality management, product / service design and process management (Saraph, Benson, & Schroeder, 1989; Flynn, Schroeder, & Sakakibara, 1994; Ahire, Golhar, & Waller,
While Total Quality Management (TQM) was reviewed earlier as a quality initiative that centers more on the actual product than the process, the TOC centers more on the process than the product. Michel Baudin (2013), professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, submits in his article that TQM is essentially dead in the manufacturing world, which has increasingly shifted toward Total Quality Control (TQC), which has more to do with controlling the factors that go into manufacturing a quality product

Quality is a word which has been used for a very long time, lots of books have been written about it, and many of the world scientists have defined it in many different ways. In this research paper, I will emphasis on the Quality Management System, why is it important? What is it used for? What is the importance of having a Quality Management System? Many people think implementing QMS costs a lot and all the benefit is a piece of a paper which say that your company is certified in having QMS so you can only hang this picture or certificate on the wall and tell your smart customer that you have it. In fact, no blames on them, they have not used this system yet, they do not know that this system save a lot and a lot of money for companies. They do not know that this system create a dynamic motion within the companies so everyone know what he/she is doing, everybody understands his/her role, and everyone can feel being an important part of the process then everybody can work towards a clear and unified target. However, having a lot of benefits requires a reasonable cost and in the same time it worth.
