THE CUSTOMER FOCUS SYSTEM:
It is very much related to customer. Basically it is related with identify the needs of customer & transmitted into technical language. With customer focusing the chance of successfulness are brighter. The profit maximization is not the goal but the customer satisfaction is the main goal, by this goal profit automatically will follow it. Only profit maximization leads to the low quality. Quality is in the eyeof the customer; quality must begin with customer needs & end with customer perception. The fundamental aim of todays quality movement has becomes Total Customer Satisfaction. The ultimate goal of TQM is to improve customer value.

ELEMENTS OF TQM:: Total Quality Management:
Total quality management (TQM) helps to improve product quality using a long-term approach at improving production and customer satisfaction while decreasing wastes. There are 8 elements of TQM, they are as follows: TQM is a continuous process of improvement has close relation with customer , workers and management. All the workers and management in every department try to improve the quality of the product in all function at all levels. TQM concepts is an integrative system that use strategy, data and effective communication to integrate. The quality principles into the culture and activities of the organization. Total quality management (TQM) is a management through customer satisfaction. No one solution is effective for planning and implementing TQM concepts in all situation. Following are generic models for implementing total quality management theory: 1. Train top management on TQM principles. 2. Assess the current: Culture customer satisfaction, quality management system. 3. Top Management determines the core values and principle to be used and communicate them. 4. Develop TQM master plan based on steps 1,2,3 5. Identify and prioritize customer needs and determine products or service to meet those needs. 6. Determine the critical process to produce those product or services. 7. Create process and improvement teams. 8. Managers should support effort by planning, training, time to the team. 9. Integrate changes for improvement in daily process management and standardization take place 10. Evaluate progress against plan (step 8) and adjust as needed. 11. Constant employee awareness and feedback on status are provided and a reward/ recognition process is established.
TQM APPROACHES:
IMPLEMENTATION
Ethics:
There are two different types of ethics. In the business world. Customer ethics & company ethics. The company ethics set the standards for quality & performance and the customer ethics set the standard for approval. Our personal set of ethics plays a large role in TQM because it helps to determine what is fair & what is out right wrong. Some companies will try to gauge. Their customers with high prices so they can turn a larger profit. Companies that have ethics recognize that higher prices should only be charged if you need in increase the quality of the product.
Integrity:
Employees personal ethics determine if they are truthful about their job performance. This makes up their integrity as a person. Companies like people also have integrity. Using TQM helps companies convey their integrity to their customers by building high-quality products and charging reasonable prices. With integrity , products are often looked at as what you see is what you get. However if you have established honesty & trust with your customers, they will hold your products to a products to a higher standard.
Trust:
Following along with ethics and integrity is trust without t rust, your company will not be able to successfully implement TQM. Trust is one of the key elements you need to have because it defines your market. These customers will continuo buying from your company because of the level of trust you have developed with on another. The tricky thing about trust is that each of your employees is responsible for their own actions. If they cause a problem with a customer your customer may lose trust in the company until another person can restore it.
Training:
TQM looks at improving several processes and training is one of the biggest problems companies have improper training can cause product malfunctions, loss of customer, and waste. Spending time on proper training will save you a large headache down the road and it helps to build employee loyalty.
Conclusion:
Total quality management (TQM) is a management approach to long-term success through customer satisfaction. In a TQM effort, all members of an organization , participate in improving process, products services and the culture in which they work. A core concept in implementing TQM is Demings 14 points, a set of management practices to helps companies increase their quality and productivity. The term total Quality Management has lost favor in the united states in recent years; Quality Management Is commonly substitute. Total Quality Management
Teamwork:
TQM has been able to establish a smooth-flowing office environment because it is based upon teamwork. When individuals work in teams, they are able to solve some of their problems faster and provides accurate solution.
Leadership:
The most important part of TQM is your managers. These individuals must be able to lead the rest of the company on this new organizational approach. The managers must be trustworthy individuals that other employees respect and want to follow. They need someone that can take charge and clearly communicate all the company needs. Effective leaders will make your new system as they need to work with employees to get them to change the way currently work.
Communication:
Right up there with leader ship is communication many companies fail because they lack proper communication. If you notice problems between department, take the initiative to fix them.
Recognition:
Another way TQM can help your business is by recognizing employees for their hard work. When employees are recognized, they are less likely to experience burnout and many of them have increased energy, which helps to boost morale. Providing employees with positive reinforcement is one of the best ways to let your employees know appreciate their hard work.

DEMINGS 14 POINTS:
Demings philosophy is summarized in his famous fourteen points. And it serves as a framework for quality and productivity improvement. Instead of relying on inspection at the end of the process to find flaws, Deming advocate a statistical analysis of the manufacturing process and emphasized cooperation of workers and management to achieve high-quality products. DR. JOSEPH JURN (B.1904) Jurans concepts can be used to establish a traditional quality system, as well as to support Strategic Quality Management. Among other things Jurans philosophy includes the Quality Trilogy and the Quality Planning Roadmap. PHILIP CROSBY (1926-2001) Attention to customer requirements and preventing defects in evident in Crosbys definitions of Quality and Non-quality as follow; Quality is conformance to requirement; nonquality is nonconformance.

All employee must know business mission and vision must monitor the process. An integrate business may be modeled by MBNQA or ISO 9000.
6. Continual Improvement:
Using analytical and creative thinking and finding ways to become more effective.

DEFIN E TERM QUALITY? WRITE DOWN THE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY? Quality:
Quality is Conformance to Given Requirement or Specification on a Product or Service. The term quality by itself does not necessarily mean high quality. It means uniformity, consistency and conformity to what user wants. Measure of excellence or state of being free from defects, deficiencies, and significant variations ISO 8402 1986 standard defines quality as the totality of features and characteristics of products or service that bears its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs. The most fundamental function of a quality product is one that meets the expectations of the customer, Some of the key dimensions of a quality product or service are as follows:

1. PERFORMANCE:
The product should be able to perform all the functions promised by company, or expected by the customers. Performance is often is a source of contention between customer and suppliers, particularly when deliverables are not adequately defined within specifications. The performance of a product often influences profitability or reputation of the end-user.
2. FEATURES
All Features of products should be of acceptable quality. This dimension may seem obvious, performance specifications rarely define the features required in a product. Its important that suppliers designing product or services from performance specifications are familiar with its intended uses.

Product should be long lasting. Product should be durable on given period from company. Durability is closely related to warranty. Product durability is often included within contracts and specifications. For instance, fighter aircraft procured to operate from aircraft carriers include design criteria intended to improve their durability in the demanding naval environment.
6. SCATTER DIAGRAM:
Scatter Diagrams are used to study and identify the possible relationship between the changes observed in two different sets of variables. Graphs pairs of numerical data, one variable on each axis, to look for a relationship.
5. CONFORMANCE:
Product should comply with specification (targets & tolerances), or with benchmarking specification. All characteristics, ingredients, benefits are meet with standard. Does the product or service conform to the specification? If its developed based on a performance specification, does it perform as specified?
7. STRATIFICATION:
Scatter diagrams are used to study and identify the possible relationship between the changes observed in two different sets of variables. A technique that separates data gathered from a variety of sources so that patterns can be seen (some lists replace stratification with flow chart or run chart).

We look at how you can extend your use of SWOT and TOWS to think in detail about the strategic options open to you. While this approach can be used just as well with SWOT as TOWS its most often associated with TOWS. TOWS stands for threats, opportunities, weaknesses, and strengths. It is a method of analyzing situations based on the popular SWOT method of analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats). Which looks at the same issue is reverse order. EXAMPLE:
4. HISTOGRAM:
The most commonly used graph for showing frequency distribution, or how often each different value in a set of data occurs.
TOWS APPLICATION
In analyzing a situation, it is often a good idea to start with an estimation of the threats to a plane and the opportunities available at the time. That allows you to evaluate the limitations and opportunities of your position before identifying weaknesses and strengths. TWOS can be used when you discover your competition has expanded its product line, for example and you want to develop a response. It is particularly useful in evaluating the potential impact of sudden events or developments. It is an action tool.

SWOT APPLICATION
In business, SWOT analysis is usually employed in evaluating a company, a business plan, a product line, a marketing strategy or other existing, defined element or concept. Starting your analysis with a listing of strengths and weaknesses allows you to analyze the value of various opportunities and the potential impact of threats. SWOT analysis is a planning tool rather than an action tool.

DESCRIBE HOW BENCHMARKING CAN BE USED TO IMPROVE BOTH EFFICIENCY & EFFECTIVENESS.
In recent years, benchmarking has delved into many more business-oriented topics such as cost of production, net farm income and other financial ratios. Thus, benchmarking has progressed from a simple way to keep up with the needs into an effective tools to improve an individual management. To days benchmarking more close definition of benchmarking as the study of a competitors product of business practices in order to improve the performance of ones own company. Management tool through which a plane for evaluation, measurement, and improvement is implemented. The insurance entity can use this tool to analyze market trends, measure sales performance, measure market penetration, and measure product performance. To identify how benchmarking improve effectiveness and efficiency of your capabilities, the bench marking compare your current approach to best practice and to peer group scores with benchmarking we analyze both the quality of organizations written proposals and the way in which you manage development. Some process efficiency measures are: cycle time per unit, transaction, or labor cost; queue time per unit, transaction, or process step; resources (dollar, labor )expended per unit of output; cost of poor quality per unit of output; percent of time items were out of stock when needed; percent on-time delivery; and inventory turns. Some effectiveness measures are: how well the output of the process meets the requirement of the end user of customer; how well the output of the sub process meet she requirements of the next phase in the process (internal customers); and how well the inputs from the external suppliers meet the requirement of process. Benchmarking improve efficiency is a key first step towards reducing consumption and related costs. benchmarking enables you to under stand the current level of efficiency, and as you implement additional efficiency best practices, it helps you gauge the effectiveness of those efficiency efforts.
the organization via the appraisal process, where every one has the chance to discuss and agree to certain objectives over the coming year including a range of targets of their own CI activities. Thus process which is essentially management by objectives is a two way one but the out come is agreed targets and a commitment on the part of the employee to achieving them, a recognition that this is what will be used to assess performance over the coming year, and an understanding that achievement will be related to rewards.
PDCA CYCLE
The PDCA Cycle is a checklist of the four stages which you must go through to get from problem-faced to problem solvedThe four stages are plane-Do-Check-Act and they are carried out in the cycle illustrated below.
P Plane A Act
D Do C
Check
Check
Here is what you do for each stage of The cycle: Plan to improve your operations first by finding out what things are going wrong (that is identify the problem faced), and come with ideas for solving these problems. the
Do changes designed to solve problems on a small or experimental scale first. This minimizes disruption to routine activity while testing whether the changes will work or not
EXAMPLE:
Effectiveness (PUE) and its reciprocal Data Center infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) are widely accepted benchmarking standards proposed by the Green Grid to help IT Professionals determine how energy efficient data center are, and to monitor the impact of their efficiency efforts. The up time Institute also has a comprehensive benchmark it recommends named Corporate Average Data center Efficiency (CADE). And recently announced at their February 2009 Technical Forum the Green Grid introduced new benchmarks named Data Center Productivity (DCP) and Data Center energy Productivity (DCeP) which probe into the useful work produced by your data center. All benchmarks have their value, and when used correctly, they can be a useful and essential tool for improving your data center energy efficiency.
. Check whether the small scale or experimental changes are achieving the desired result or not. Also, continuously Check nominated key activities(regardless of any experimentation going on) to ensure that you know what the quality of the output is at all times to identify any new problems when they crop up . Act to implement changes on a larger scale if the experiment is successful. This means making the changes the routine part of your activity. Also Act to involve other persons (other departments, supplier, or customer ) affected by the changes and whose cooperation you need to implement them one a larger scale, or those who may simply benefit fro what you have learned (you may, of course, already have involved these people in the Do or trial stage).

SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT Analysis is an effective way of Identifying your strength and Weakness, and of examining the opportunities and threats you face. To carry out a SWOT Analysis write down the answers to the following questions. Where appropriate, use smaller questions: Strength: What advantages do you have? What do you do well? What relevant resources do you have access to? What do other people see as your
TOWS ANALYSIS
TOWS Analysis is an effective way of combining a) internal strengths with external opportunities and threats, and b) internal weakness with external opportunities and threats to develop a strategy, to carry out a TOWS Analysis, consider the following combinations.
7) PARITODIAGRAM
A bar graph used to arrange information in such a way that priorities for process improvement can be established. To display the relative importance of data. To direct efforts to the biggest Improvement. Opportunity by highlighting the vital few in contrast to the useful many pareto, an Italian sociologist and economist invented this method of information presentation toward the end of the 19th century. The chart is similar to the histogram or bar chart, except that the bars are arranged in decreasing order from left to right along the abscissa. The fundamental idea behind the use of pareto diagrams for quality improvement is that the first few (as presented on the diagram) contributing causes to a problem usually account for the majority of the result.
Strengths/ Strengths?
Consider this form your own point of view and from the point of the view of the people you deal with. Dont be modest be realistic. If you are having any difficulty with this, try writing down a list of your characteristics some of these will hope fully be strengths! in looking at your strengths, think about them in relation to your competitors for example, if all your competitors provide high quality production process is not strength in the market, it is a necessity.
Opportunities:
Consider all strengths one by one listed in the SWOT Analysis with each internal strength can help you capitalize one each external opportunity.
Strength/ Threats:
Consider all strengths one by one listed in the SWOT Analysis with each threats to determine how each internal strength can help you avoid every external threat.
Weaknesses:
What could you improve? What do you do badly? What should you avoid? Again, consider this form an internal and external basis: Do other people seem to perceive weakness that you do not see? Are you competitors doing any better than You? It is best to be realistic now, and face any unpleasant truth as soon as possible.
Weakness/ Opportunities:
Consider all weakness one by one listed in the SWOT Analysis with each opportunity to determine how each internal weakness can be eliminated by using each external opportunity.
Weakness/ Threats:
Consider all weakness one by one listed in the SWOT Analysis with each threat to determine both can be avoided.
Opportunities:
Where are the good opportunities facing you? What are the interesting trends you Are aware of? Useful opportunities Can come form such things as : Changes in technology and markets on both a aboard and narrow scale. Changes in Government policy related to your field Changes in social patterns, Populations profiles lifestyle changes, etc Local Events A useful approach to looking at opportunities is to look at your strengths and ask yourself whether these open up any opportunities by eliminating them
9) BENCH MARKING
It is the way of setting standard and then meeting those standard is called the bench marking.
2) HISTOGRAM:
The most commonly used graph for showing frequency distributions, or how often each different value in a set of data occurs.
Threats
What obstacles do you face? What is your competition doing? Are the required specifications for your job, products or services changes? Is changes technology threatening your position? Do you have bad debt or cash-flow problems? Could any of your weakness seriously threaten your business?
3) CHANGE MANAGEMENT:
Change management is a structured approach to transitioning individual trams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state. It is an organizational process aimed at empowering the employees to accept and embrace changes in their current business environment.

These are the measurement devices are called control devices. There are used to inspect automatically error or defects operating condition. These are smaller tools of checking the quality during the operation. It is a Japanese term that helps an equipment operator avoid (yokeru) mistakes (Poka). It purpose is to eliminate products defects by preventing, correcting, or drawing attention to human errors as they occur.
5) QUALITY AUDITING
Quality Audit is the process of systematic examination of a quality system carried out by an internal or external quality auditor or an audit teams. It is an important part of organizations quality management system and is a key element in the ISO quality system standard, ISO 9001. Quality audits are typically performed at predefined time intervals and ensure that the institution has clearly- defined internal system monitoring procedures linked to effective action. This can help determine if the organization complies with the defined quality system processes and can involve

Total Quality Management: Total quality management is a management system for a customer focused organization that involve all employee in continual improvement of all aspects of the organization. TQM gives some short-term advantages, however majority of advantages in longtermed, and tangible benefits from them appear only after successful realization. In big organizations this process can take few year. Long term benefits excepted from implementation of TQM higher moral tonus of personnel, decreasing of costs and increasing of consumers trust
HISTORY OF TQM
Total Quality management: Total quality management is a management system for a customer focused organization that involve all employee in continual improvement of all aspects of the organization.
BENEFITS OF TQM
A Survey of over hundred TQM businesses noted the m benefits arising from TQM. These Benefits are:
Improved supplier relation ships; improved processes ; improved people ; improved policy deployment and imp customer relationships.
HISTORY OF TQM
The history of TQM starts with Elton Mayos Hawthorne experiment from 1927 through 1932 these experiment showed workers participation in decision making improves productivity. In the 1930s, the Hawthorne plant of the Western Electric. Company studied lighting Level studies researches found that when the lights were brighter, worker productivity also increased. This changes in behavior from the employees in now called the Hawthorns effect. It basically states that when workers are involved in studies or decisions making , productivity increases.
