Description

The 100 methods presented in this introductory guide all relate to the implementation in organizations of the philosophy and practices of Total Quality Management". Ranging from an introduction to the technique of brainstorming to a description of the activities of "quality circles", the spread of methods presented is deliberately wide and inclusive, to reflect the range of processes involved in full TQM: idea generation; data collection; data analysis; data display; decision-making; and team work. Each method is explained and illustrated in terms of its purpose, when and how it should be used, and its benefits. To provide a context to the discussion of the individual methods, the first section outlines the key concepts and processes involved in implementing a Total Quality Management approach.
