This document discusses the importance of implementing Total Quality Management (TQM) principles and business excellence strategies when implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The key points are:
1) ERP implementation is a socio-technical endeavor that requires modifying business processes, but many ERP implementations fail due to organizational and cultural issues. TQM/business excellence principles can help address these issues.
2) TQM emphasizes factors like top management commitment, teamwork, training, and employee empowerment that are important for successful ERP implementation.
3) For ERP implementation to be successful, TQM must be integrated into the corporate strategy and form a "quality loop" that ensures continuous improvement.
The document discusses business excellence models, which guide organizations to achieve world-class performance and business results. It provides a brief history of how the first models emerged in the 1980s in response to Japanese business success. Today, the most well-known models are the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence and the EFQM Excellence Model, which help organizations improve via self-assessment. Both models evaluate organizations across similar criteria focused on leadership, strategic planning, customers, workforce, and processes.

When setting benchmarking priorities, companies consider which processes have the highest impact on business economics like costs and revenue. They also consider processes that are strategically important to future success and those where personnel are ready to improve. Processes determined to have high impact on performance but are difficult to source from suppliers are also priorities. The goal of benchmarking is to maintain world-class status by developing logistics strategies based on customer needs and ensuring leading edge processes.

Perceptions of smes (manufacturing firms) towards the key elements of tqmeSAT Journals
Abstract Total Quality Management is a widely used approach for various reasons. In addition to the ISO 9001 certification TQM is considered to be the next step towards the journey of zero defects The race of quality management is initiated by the large scale companies with professional approach and with the available funds and infrastructure to meet with the challenges of present competitive environment. However the SMEs also in order to grab the opportunities prevailing and to increase the life span of their organizations are joining the band wagon of Quality as a strategy. There are several key elements of TQM. The awareness about these different elements of TQM is however a question mark. This research paper is indicating with a survey of a small sample of SMEs about the level of awareness and the importance they feel about the elements of TQM. It was observed that very few SMEs were inclined to go beyond ISO9001. However those SMEs which were following TQM principles were more or less aware about the prompted key elements. Further it was found that there is maximum awareness about the continuous improvement. Process management, House Keeping and Quality chain (Customer – Supplier relationship) are also considered to be important ones for the success of TQM implementation. These were followed by Team working & Synergy, Employee Empowerment, Bench Marking, Creativity & Innovation. Kaizen seems to be the element which SMEs are not much aware about.

Implementing total quality management to improve facilitiesLaukik Raut
This research work aims to understand Total Quality Management concepts and evaluating the extent of TQM
implementation in Mechanical Engineering Department through student feedback survey.
In keeping with the newer demands that have been placed on the self financed educational system by the various
stakeholders, the technical educational system in particular, has been pressured to shift its focus from one in
quantitative expansion to one with emphasis on quality. Growth and survival of these institutes is fully
depending on their competitive working style, opinions of their customers/students about their performance, and
contribution to economic growth. It is being increasingly recognized that high quality of products and services
are associated with customer satisfaction and they are the key points for survival for any organization whether
educational or otherwise. Not oblivious to the need for adaptation to serve the interests of its stakeholders, in
terms of greater responsiveness, the educational system has begun to realize the significance of total quality

Introduction to Quality Management
Quality classification varies in numerous organizations. Organizational expectations of quality requirements are directly correlated to what customers expect in a product or service. Prior to the early 1900’s the concept of quality management was simplistic in nature. Basic forms of quality management can be traced back to the medieval times when master craftsmen would assess the quality of products and services. Modern day quality management was initially studied and formally introduced to manufacturing organizations by a mechanical engineer named Fredrick W. Taylor. For years, Taylor conducted research on manufacturing processes and how quality can be improved to increase efficiency in production. Based on his studies, Taylor published The Principles of Scientific Management in which he presented statistical findings on how to effectively implement quality management practices.
In conjunction to Taylor’s time study, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth focused on motion and efficiency study to improve the quality management processes that later paves way for the modern-day quality management systems of ISO. Another highly qualified mechanical engineer, Henry Gantt, created charts to help managers plan and monitor project tasks. Gantt also determined that employees needed to be paid based on performance evaluations. The scientific studies have improved standards and increased profitability for many businesses. This was even more evident following the work of engineer and scientist, W. Edwards Deming. Deming utilized Walter Shewhart’s Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle for total quality management (TQM) to assist the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) in rebuilding economic strength following the aftermath of World War II.
The emphasis on total quality management (TQM) is imperative today. Businesses, like Deutsche Post DHL Group, have adopted specific methods for implementing TQM within the organization. The ISO 9000 quality management system presents standardized requirements for achieving TQM. The Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle has also attributed to successful management assessments as well. Another frequently used system is Deming’s 14 Points. The benefits of these systems outweigh the cons. The systems have saved businesses countles.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE REDUCTION FACTOR ON RC FRAMED STRUCTUREIRJET Journal
This study examines the effect of response reduction factors (R factors) on reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Three RC frame models with varying heights (4, 8, and 12 stories) were analyzed in ETABS software under different R factors ranging from 1 to 5. The results showed that displacement increased as the R factor decreased, indicating less linear behavior for lower R factors. Drift also decreased proportionally with increasing R factors from 1 to 5. Shear forces in the frames decreased with higher R factors. In general, R factors of 3 to 5 produced more satisfactory performance with less displacement and drift. The displacement variations between different building heights were consistent at different R factors. This study evaluated how R factors influence

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
