Total quality management aims to radically transform organizations through progressive changes in attitudes, practices, structures, and systems. It involves commitment from top executives and realizing that transformation requires fundamental changes by everyone. Key aspects include building quality from the beginning, understanding customer needs, instituting leadership over supervision, eliminating barriers between people and departments, and providing training and performance measures to guide self-improvement. Total employee involvement is a system that lets employees directly participate in organizational success by taking on responsibilities and using their abilities to solve problems and continuously improve through motivation, teamwork, training, recognition, empowerment, and other strategies.
