CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Total Quality Management (TQM) has become a world-wide topic in the twenty-first century. Having its roots partly in the USA and partly in Japan, it was primarily adopted by some Japanese companies in the decades immediately after world war II with the greater successes of Japanese companies during the 1980s.
Companies all over the world found that it was necessary to have good quality management practices in order to stay competitive (Lagrosen, 2002). Total Quality Management is an enhancement of the traditional way of doing business. It is a proven technique to guarantee survival in world competition. Only by changing the actions of management will the culture and actions of an entire organization be transformed. Total quality management (TQM) as a management approach of an organization is centred on quality based on the participation of all its members and aiming at long term success. This is achieved through
2
customer satisfaction and benefits to all members of the organization and society.
In other words, TQM is a philosophy for managing an organization in a way, which enables it to meet stakeholders need and expectations efficiently and effectively without compromising ethical values (ISO, 8404, 1994). TQM has been widely implemented throughout the world. Many firms have arrived at the conclusion that effective TQM implementation can improve their competitive abilities and provide strategic advantages in the market place. (Anderson, Fornell & Lehmann, 1994) several studies have shown that the adoption of TQM practices can allow firms to compete globally (Easton, 1993), (Ernst and Young, 1996; Womack & Roos, 1990). Several researchers also reported that TQM implementation has led to improvements in quality, productivity and competitiveness in only 20 - 30% of the firms that have implemented it (Benson, 1993). According to a survey of manufacturing firms in Georgia, the benefits of TQM are improved quality, employee participation, teamwork, working relationship, customer
satisfaction, employee, satisfaction, productivity, communication, profitability and
3
market share (Dale, Zairi, Vanfder Wiele & Williams, 2000).
A study conducted by Rategan (1992) indicated that a 90% improvement rate in employee relations, operating procedures, customer satisfaction, and financial performance is achieved due to TQM implementation. However, Burrows (1992) reported a 95% failure rate for initiated TQM implementation programs; Eskildson (1994), Tomow and Wiley (1991) reported that TQM implementation has uncertain or even negative effects on performance. Longenecker and Scazzero (1993) indicated that achieving high product quality and pursuing successful TQM implementation are highly dependent on top management support.
Total quality management is seen as a holistic approach to managing project. It includes continuous improvement, training and re-training of staff, customers satisfaction, top management support, defect-free product at first attempt, elimination of rework, cost effectiveness etc.
Haris and McCaffer (2002) stated that total quality management consists of all activities that managers perform to improve their quality and policy such as quality planning,
