Synopsis

Provides the reading required for any course in Tqm. It aims to provide depth to any quality-related issue within an organisational setting. It covers both service and manufacturing sectors, providing a balanced perspective for both.

The text ends with a presentation of the contextual issues that confront the future development of an integrated and total quality management system.
