Implementing Total Quality ManagementImplications for
Middle Managers : A 65 page paper discussing reasons for
failure of TQM implementation, particularly as it applies to
middle managers. The paper gives an overview of the
approaches to TQM of Deming, Juran and Crosby, and
focuses on Deming's 14 Points as the basis for
properly-applied TQM practice. Deming's philosophy of
management within the framework of TQM leaves no room
for authoritarianism or autocracy; participative management
is required if TQM implementation is to be successful in any
firm of any size. The paper includes discussion of a mail
survey identifying three middle-management attitudes toward
TQM's potential effects on their jobs, including detailed
descriptions of both observed and potential limitations of the
study. It concludes that middle managers have legitimate
fears that can be overcome with Deming's admonishment to
invest in training and education of all employees, including
the middle managers of which Deming himself made no
mention. Bibliography lists 31 sources. Toqumgt.wps

Management & Control of Quality : A 15 page paper
discussing quality issues in both manufacturing and service
industries. The paper gives a brief history of Total Quality
Management (TQM), as well as the impetus of American
manufacturing to adopt it. At the time that TQM became so
popular, there were other factors involved in American
buying decisions aside from only quality. Unemployment was
high, inflation was nearly out of control and mortgage rates
were the highest they had ever been. Consumerism was
healthy, but buyers needed to believe that products would last
and serve them well. Business and private customers alike
have come to view perfection as a minimum standard, and
customer desires now are as much of a quality issue as is zero
defects. The paper explores continuous process improvement
as a necessary business practice and management’s role in
ensuring that it can flourish. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Pursuing the Customer Component of Total Quality
Management : A 21 page paper discussing the customer
satisfaction aspect of TQM, which has been characterized as
the least painful way to achieve the levels of efficiency
necessary to gain and keep competitive advantage in today's
increasingly competitive business climate. Its focus often is
that of internal operations only with little regard for the
customer’s views of the organization’s efforts, with a
common result that the organization accomplishes fine
internal advances but fails to impress customers and therefore
increase business. Customer surveys can provide invaluable
information in ways the firm can better serve its customers,
thereby more surely growing its business. In this paper, ABC
Company surveys a sample of 100 customers and makes
valuable discoveries that have the potential of being beneficial
to the company. Bibliography lists 27 sources.
