Total quality management is defined as a companywide effort to continually improve the ways people, machines, and systems accomplish work. Management gurus William Edwards Deming, Joseph Moses Juran, and Philip Bayard Crosby and their philosophies on improving quality and performance excellence lead to frameworks.

DR. W. EDWARDS DEMING (1900–1993) Dr. W. Edward Deming is best known for reminding management that most problems are systemic and that it is management's responsibility to improve the systems so that workers (management and non-management) can do their jobs more effectively. Deming argued that higher quality leads to higher productivity, which, in turn, leads to long-term competitive strength. The theory is that improvements in quality lead to lower costs and higher productivity because they result

Later, they have realized that TQM is much more than just shop-floor improvements. The definitions of quality incorporate factors like top management commitment, leadership, team work, training and development, rewards and recognition, involvement and empowerment of employees etc. These critical factors are the foundation for transformational orientation to create a sustainable improvement culture for competitive advantage on a continuous basis. According to Selladurai Raj, TQM interventions or

Toyota uses the Hoshin Kanri strategy system. It is similar to the managing by objectives (MBO) strategy except the difference between the two is that Hoshin focuses on processes and results whereas and MBO solely focuses on results. This is the reason why many companies are not able to be as successful as Toyota. With an MBO system, performance appraisals focus managers’ attention on the wrong thing: individual people. Focusing on results led to management by top-down targets and fear (Liker).

Jessica Molina MLT 325W Phase 2 Research paper W. Edward Deming was an American statistician. He created a quality method system/quality management. His philosophy of quality focus on reducing uncertainty and variability. Deming introduced Total Quality Meth to the Japanese rising industries first and then later on applied to American industries, more specifically laboratory management. This method of management approached centered on quality aimed at long term success through customer services

research on methods to improve quality and lower costs. He developed the concept of control with regard to variation, and came up with Statistical Process Control Charts which provide a simple way to determine if the process is in control or not. Dr. W. Edwards Deming built upon Shewart’s work and took the concepts to Japan following WWII. There, Japanese industry adopted the concepts whole-heartedly. The resulting high quality of Japanese products is world-renowned. Dr. Deming is famous throughout Japan

that meet customer expectations (n.d.). The groundwork for modern quality improvement was laid by Walter Shewhart, Edward Deming, and Joseph Juran (Chassin & O’Kane, n.d.). In 1924, Walter Shewhart developed the Shewhart Cycle, which was used to continuously improve production processes, thereby better developing and controlling how final products were produced. In the 1940’s, Edward Deming expanded on the
