About the Course: 

The TQM is a philosophy that can be implemented in the different organisation. In this course, we’ll discuss various philosophies of TQM and its salient features as chanted by Quality Gurus. TQM gained momentum in the backdrop of the Ford inspired mass-production which escalated several quality challenges. The TQM emerged from the manufacturing sector and crept into the services sectors. The benefits of the quality management practice are adequately documented in India and the rest of the world. Several companies tweaked and implemented it according to their requirements.
