Short Description

TQM is both a philosophy and a set of guiding principles that represent the foundation of a continuously improving organization. TQM is a strategic, integrated management system for achieving customer satisfaction. It involves all managers and employees and uses quantitative methods to improve continuously an organization's processes. At the foundation of TQM are three principles: Focus on achieving customer satisfactions; seek continuous improvements; and fully involve the entire workforce.
