February 8, 2006 Total Quality Management (TQM) Survey Paper
Organizations strive to ensure that their customers receive quality products and are satisfied with the service they receive. They realize this is a very important factor toward having a successful business. The first step toward achieving success is ensuring that the organization has a Total Quality Management concept included in their goals, objectives, and development of the strategic plans. In this survey, I will explain the value of quality as it relates to customer satisfaction. I will also explain the need for customer-driven quality for each organization I have chosen. A matrix is included to show the difference between the strategic roles of the organizations. The last portion of this paper will discuss the important role of leadership relating to quality based on Total Quality Management. Jiffylube provides service for customer vehicles.
