Total quality control is a system for integrating the quality development, maintenance, and improvement efforts of the various groups in an organization so as to produce marketing, engineering, production, and service at the most economical levels for full customer satisfaction. The first edition of this book was published in 1951 and this is the 40th third edition complete with a new 16 page addition on: The Total Quality Imperative, 12 Benchmarks for Quality Control in the 90's and 4 management principles for total quality.

This new volume clears away the confusion created by the many quality books that are long on theory and short on practical application. Total Quality Management compiles hundreds of real world examples to create a valuable "best practices" guide to incorporating quality systems from top to bottom in any company. Using the criteria for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award as a framework, it helps managers attack tough problems like improving profitability, managing people, helping customers, developing a strategic plan, and designing quality into products, services, and processes. Taking readers into the heart of American companies like Federal Express, Motorola and others, this book is filled with time-tested processes, innovative techniques, inspiring visions, and practical applications.
