Total Quality Management Training Steps

Total Quality Management requires that the principles of Quality Management be applied in every section, level and function of an organisation.

It is very much a company-wide approach, with continual improvements being implemented by everyone in the organisation.

The emphasis towards Quality should pervade every person, activity and function. This in turn requires a broadening of outlook, of skills available and an increase in creative activities such as problem solving methods, decision making, conceptual etc., far beyond what is required to manage a Quality Assurance System.

This training is to help you understand how to do this.
