The new competition brought about success for some and spectacular failures for others. Eventually, manufacturing industry came to realize that the only and best way to differentiate themselves from others was personal customer service delivery.
Customers now perceive that they have the right to demand good services, since they pay for it.

However, until recently many manufacturing industries workers belief that all the lessons of quality management only have practical application in the manufacturing industry. It is further disappointing that some of the few industries that claim to focus on quality management are sincerely not implementing it as they fall short of the greater objective of total quality management, and forgetting that total quality management does not happen by accident but a managed systematic process which involve people, system and supporting tools and techniques.
