1: What is TQM:
TQM is a management approach to long-term success, through achieving complete
customer satisfaction. TQM is the complete approach to improve organizational
performance and effectiveness. "A way of life for an organization as a whole, committed
to total customer satisfaction through continuous process of improvement, and the
contribution and involvement of people" TQM is a participative management style that
stresses total staff commitment to "customer satisfaction". TQM is the part management
organized for the use of creating and implementing a continuous improvement process
that constantly improves on the organization's effectiveness and also their efficiency.
The main responsibility of quality lies not on the workers but on the management on all
levels.
2: Implication of TQM in Industry:
Success of TQM depends on how well a company evaluates the processes, products,
and the markets of today to try and find out what the customer of tomorrow wants. It has
been evident from past marketplaces that companies show more support to short-term
interests that even if they do have a long-term strategy if often lacks commitment from
top management.
Implementation and the success of TQM can be seen clearly using the example of
Honda. Many other Japanese car manufacturers have also followed pursuit. When
trying to implement TQM it requires both behavioral and cultural change. A successful
TQM brings together management, behavioral and cultural commitment to customer
quality.

Approaches to Implementing TQM:
There are three approaches to implementing TQM.
Firstly there is the "concept of management". This basically fine tunes andrevitalizes management in producing bottom line products or services resulting
hopefully in customer satisfaction. With this approach management and individuals of
the organization are usually operating at fairly effective levels and have already taken
the idea of TQM aboard. Kawamoto CEO of Honda implemented TQM with the advice
from the founder of the company, Soichiro. When TQM was implemented at Honda
production lines were reconfigured to speed the process and allow greater flexibility.
Engineers were expected to create designs that could be manufactured more efficiently.
Honda's new strategy, which the CEO describes as "customer focused", has increased
sales and improved profit.
The second approach can be seen as a "system of management". This approach is
used when TQM is already in place but needs to be brought up to speed. The basic
area of this approach is to decide conflict, decision-making, meeting management as
well as traditional areas of measurement and continuous learning. With this approach
the Q-STEP is used. The Q-STEP simplifies quality into five basic competencies.
Q-Quality Maximization,
S-Skill Maximization,
T-Team Participation,
E-Excellence for customers,
P-Prevention of waste.
The Q-STEP works with existing culture and takes advantage of current "good
practices".

The final approach is usually the most common and is also the cause of most failure.
This approach usually aims mainly at changing behavior not culture that drives or
supports that behavior. TQM has in the past failed however there here have been many
reasons why, but the most common are
1. Lack of management commitment- executives may demand TQM because they
may see it as purely a cost-cutting strategy.
2. Poor timing and pacing-organizations sometimes implement TQM when there is
no compelling need.
3. Wasted education and training- TQM can fail because organizations are not
committed enough on the training of the individual.
4. Lack of TQM concepts being implemented such as Just in Time, Quality Circles
and Lean manufacturing.
It is a management concept that could help weakening organizations achieves both a
competitive advantage over others, as well as increasing sales, customer satisfaction
and profit levels; similarly TQM can help a successful company build a better
relationship with its customers, supply base and inevitably increase its bottom line. Theprincipal emphasis of modern business with its products and services is quality. The
total quality management (TQM) approach is summarized as gradually enhancing
the product and/or service quality. The focus is to “get things right first time, all of the
time”. In the long run, the cost of this approach will be less than rectifying quality failures
after they have been found. It reflects that TQM relies on the inputs of management,
workers, suppliers, and even customers, so as to match these with customer
requirements. In TQM, all manufacturing and business transactions are involved in a
continuous process of quality enhancement. Nowadays, TQM has extended from the
statistical monitoring of manufacturing processes to customer-oriented processes of
service improvement. It emphasizes providing high-quality products or services
consistently.

Aggressively ensuring quality in both design and manufacturing
Working in partnership with suppliers, Honda is involved in a companywide effort to
deliver products with a new level of enhanced quality. To ensure high quality, Honda
conducts aggressive quality assurance activities from the dual perspectives of design
and manufacturing
1. Assuring quality through drawings
Honda's R&D departments create drawings for maximum ease of manufacture in order
to limit process variability and prevent human error during the manufacturing process.
These drawings serve as the basis of our quality assurance efforts. Specifically,
engineers utilize a database of measures and techniques for preventing past market
quality issues and other information as they communicate closely with manufacturing
departments during the initial development stage.

H.Zeeshan Aslam Page 16
2. Assuring quality through production processes
Honda's production departments establish manufacturing control items and standards
for each part, process, and work task based on designers' intentions in order to prevent
product quality issues. Engineers then use these manufacturing control items and
standards to verify manufacturing variability as they work to prevent quality issues.
3. Assuring part quality through supplier audits
Assuring the quality of procured parts is an important element in delivering high-quality
products. Honda visits its suppliers' manufacturing facilities to conduct quality audits
based on the
"Three Reality Principle," which emphasizes "going to the actual place," "knowing the
actual situation," and "being realistic." These audit activities are conducted for both the
production preparation and mass-production stages of supplier operations. Experts in
the development and production of individual parts visit manufacturing facilities and
conduct audits of suppliers' quality systems and their implementation.
Honda then works to improve part quality through activities that emphasize
communication with suppliers, for example by sharing audit results and cooperating to
discover measures for improving quality.

Using second-generation line end testers (LETs) to inspect electronic control
systems
Use of electronic control systems in vehicles has grown dramatically in recent years as
part of an effort to achieve more environmentally friendly designs and improve driver
and passenger convenience and comfort, creating a need for efficient inspection
methods to assure the quality of these components.
To this end, Honda has installed line end testers (LETs), an inspection and diagnostic
system developed in-house, at production plants in Japan and overseas.
