Request to all Cite HR members,
Being a TQM professional for the past 16 years, in my experience, each and every employee should know and practice these tools. I will guarantee you that 50% of your day-to-day problems, firefighting, and HR issues will reduce if you practice this with real spirit. It is great if you add these tools to your new employee induction program.
Dear Chandrashekar - Thanks for sharing this golden information.

Hi Ramesh, I am new to this forum. I want to know TQM stands for what and what is its role in HR? Rgds, Rajni Singh
Dear Rajni,
TQM stands for Total Quality Management. To simplify understanding, I define TQM as follows:
- TQM is a strategy or means used to achieve Business Excellence.
- TQM focuses on the improvement of process quality - in TQM language, HRM is a process.
- TQM has helped many Japanese companies become successful.
Please visit www.deming.org where you will find a formal definition and explanations for TQM. The Deming award is given to companies that excel in TQM. Currently, only 8 or 9 companies in India have achieved this award.
TQM brings cultural changes in the organization, which is why it is closely related to HR. In other words, we cannot separate HR and TQM. You can solve many HR issues using the TQM approach.
Thank you for your interest. Please note - There are very few HR professionals who practice TQM. If you adopt this approach, there is no doubt that you and your organization will be ahead of all others.

Dear Chandrasekhar and Ramesh,
I am grateful to you for your insights on TQM. Regarding the 3P model and 5Z, we can address 5Z through the lean manufacturing concept and Six Sigma. However, what about the 3P model? Do you have any SOP or policy concerning systems and processes?
a) Implement processes and systems and map internal & external customer satisfaction.
b) Ensure product conformity to specifications.
c) Establish various processes & systems.
Please reply to

Dear Tapas,
We cannot address only a few systems and processes in isolation. A few SOPs will not help. That is why ISO 9000 systems came into existence. Unfortunately, many organizations think ISO 9000 is just a documentation process and does not add any value to their business. In my view, ISO 9000 systems and 5S are the foundation for TQM and Business Excellence. Whether you call it Lean, TQM, Six Sigma, or TPM, you need a strong foundation of systems to sustain the improvements gained.
