Introduction to Total Quality Management

 Length:

Full-Day

Description:

Many organizations are implementing Total Quality Management (TQM) programs to increase their competitive edge. In a TQM environment, quality becomes an integral part of every employee's responsibility. This workshop will examine what TQM is and how implementing it requires a fundamental paradigm shift and organizational transformation. Sessions will explore fundamental principles of TQM, a typical TQM implementation model, the crucial role training plays in a successful implementation process, the changing role of the mid-level manager and the organizational transition issues that emerge.  Workshop activities include small group discussions, a case study and brainstorming.

The workshop is designed for managers and professionals in organizations which are contemplating implementation of a TQM program or have recently undertaken one.
