Total Quality Management (TQM) is an integrated organizational approach to delighting customers by continuously meeting and exceeding their expectations through improvement efforts across all processes. TQM requires communication and involvement from all organizational members and suppliers/customers. It originated from efforts to improve postwar Japanese industry and emphasizes continuous learning and improvement, employee empowerment, fact-based decision making, and customer focus. For services industries, implementing an effective TQM system requires commitment from management and staff to establish smooth business processes and satisfy customers.

5. Evolution of TQM The concept of Total Quality Management (TQM) was developed by an American, W. Edwards Deming, after World War II for improving the production quality of goods and services. Mr. Deming is regarded as The quality Guru who never gave up. But it was the Japanese who adopted TQM more seriously in 1950 to resurrect their postwar business and industry, used it to dominate world markets by 1980.
6. Contd. The 1980s saw an explosion in the use of statistical methods and quality methodology in both manufacturing and non-manufacturing organisations. Mr. Subodh Bhargava, Chief Executive of Eicher, recently revealed an interesting fact that TQM is not new to India and its roots in Indian ancient scriptures like the Upanishads and the Srimad Bhagavadgita.
7. Importance of TQM for services sector Total Quality Management is the key mantra for the manufacturing industry, but its benefits have been better realized by intense customer-oriented service industries be it fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), retail, hospitality, telecom or banking. In service organisations, the TQM challenge lies in establishing smooth connectivity between business processes so as to retain the customer. A quality control approach to cover all processes would be beneficial to every Organisation.. Since in a service industry every aspect of quality is associated with every employee, quality Control department has a key and a very important role to play. Putting in place an effective TQM mechanism in a service industry requires patience and commitment on the part of the management and the workforce to satisfy the customer.
8. Contd. Over 60 % of the organization's future revenue will come from the existing customers. A 2 percent increase in customer retention has an equivalent impact upon profitability as a 10 percent reduction in operating costs. Upto 96% of unhappy customers do not in fact complain, but they are three times more likely to communicate a bad experience to other customers than a good one If a customer complains and the organization responds effectively to the product or service failure, then the loyalty of the customer can actually increase It costs 5 times as much to attract a new customer as it costs to keep an old one.

16. Benchmarking Benchmarking is the systematic comparison of elements of performance of an organisation against those of other organizations, usually with the aim of mutual improvement.
18. Just In Time (JIT) Just- in time is an approach to minimize waste in manufacturing in the form of time, materials, energy and error. The objectives of JIT are To reduce the set up times and lot sizes To achieve zero defects goal in manufacturing To focus on continuous improvement To eliminate waste and all non-value adding activities by systematically identifying these.
19. 3Ms- Muda, Muri & Mura These 3 Ms should be avoided to implement of JIT Muda means Waste Muri means Excess Mura means unevenness
20. Taguchi Concepts Taguchi Concepts provides an alternative for the relationship between the performance of cost and quality. Taguchi further maintains that the relationship is quadratic and the cost varies with the square of the deviation from the target . The Taguchi loss function is therefore represented by L(Y) =K(Y-M) 2 where L= Loss associated with parameter Y M= target expected K= Constant
21. Capability Maturity Model ( CMM ) It is a way to develop and refine an organization's processes mainly for the purpose of developing and refining software development processes. The model describes the maturity of the company based upon the project the company is handling and the related clients.
22. The CMM was originally intended as a tool to evaluate the ability of government contractors to perform a contracted software project. Though it comes from the area of software development, it can be, has been, and continues to be widely applied as a general model of the maturity of processes
23. Pareto Analysis Pareto, an Italian economist discovered a universal relationship between value and quantity. He used this technique for assessing uneven distribution of wealth. Pareto charts gave rise to 80-20 rule which suggests that 80 percent of an organization's problems came from 20 percent of its tasks. Pareto Analysis helps in identification of the Vital few from the trivial many at a glance.
24. Pareto Analysis can be carried out for the problems of a company which are contributed by the following: Working Systems Operating Costs Facilities Manpower
25. Uses statistics & control charts to tell when to adjust process Developed by Shewhart in 1920s Involves Creating standards (upper & lower limits) Measuring sample output (e.g. mean wgt.) Taking corrective action (if necessary) Statistical Process Control (SPC)
