What is TQM?

TQM is the integration of all functions and processes

within an organization in order to achieve continuous

improvement of the quality of goods and services.

The goal is customer satisfaction.

“ TQM is a corporate business management philosophy which

recognizes that customer needs and business goals are

inseparable. It is applicable within both industry and commerce.”

overall business performance based on leadership, supplier

Quality is defined as conformance to

requirements, not “goodness”

The system for achieving quality is

prevention, not appraisal.

The performance standard is zero

defects, not “that’s close enough”

The measurement of quality is the

price of non-conformance, not

indexes.

Inspection is never the answer to quality improvement, nor is “policing”.

Involvement of leadership and top management is essential to the

necessary culture of commitment to quality.

A program for quality requires organization-wide efforts and long term

commitment, accompanied by the necessary investment in training.

Quality is first and schedules are second.

ISO is an international Organization for Standards that was

formed by technical committees.

They provide user-friendly guidelines for a wide range of

organizations.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the

world’s largest developer of voluntary International

Standards. International Standards give state of the art

specifications for products, services and good practice,

helping to make industry more efficient and effective.

Developed through global consensus, they help to break

down barriers to international trade.

The ISO 9000 family of standards is related to quality

management systems and designed to help organizations

ensure that they meet the needs of customers and other

stakeholders while meeting statutory and regulatory

requirements related to the product.

ISO was established in 1947, in Switzerland, with the

purpose of developing intellectual, scientific, technological,

and economic corporation between member countries

(Bureau of Business Practice).

Later in 1979 the ISO Technical Committee was formed to

make a set of guidelines that would bring together and

standardize world industries.

ISO has affiliates in more than 90 countries.

Cost savings - International Standards help optimize operations and

therefore improve the bottom line

Enhanced customer satisfaction - International Standards help improve

quality, enhance customer satisfaction and increase sales

Access to new markets - International Standards help prevent trade

barriers and open up global markets

Increased market share - International Standards help increase

productivity and competitive advantage

Environmental benefits - International Standards help reduce negative

impacts on the environment

ISO has over 19 500 standards touching almost all aspects of daily life.

When products and services conform to International Standards

consumers can have confidence that they are safe, reliable and of good

quality.

To make sure that the benefits of ISO International Standards are as

broad as possible, ISO supports the involvement of consumers in

standard development work with its Committee on consumer policy.

International Standards on air, water and soil quality, on emissions of

gases and radiation and environmental aspects of products contribute to

efforts to preserve the environment and the health of citizens.

ISO standards draw on international expertise and experience and are therefore a vital resource for governments when developing regulations.

National governments can make ISO standards a regulatory requirement. This has a number of benefits:

Expert opinion - ISO standards are developed by experts. By integrating an ISO standard into national regulation, governments can benefit from the opinion of experts without having to call on their services directly.

Opening up world trade - ISO standards are international and adopted by many governments. By integrating ISO standards into national regulation, governments help to ensure that requirements for imports and exports are the same the world over, therefore facilitating the movement of goods, services and technologies from country to country.

ISO 9000 standards are concerned with effectively documenting the way you run your business, in order to improve your profit margin.

TQM concerns customer satisfaction and worker effectiveness, in order to increase business and cut costs.

A business should first follow ISO 9000 standards and then implement TQM practices to improve their profits and customer retention.
