Total Quality Management (TQM) are management methods applied to improve the productivity and quality of operations in a business entity. Total quality management is also referred to as a comprehensive approach to management that is used across an entity, which includes divisions, workers and extends forward and backward to include customers/clients and suppliers. It mainly focuses on quality productivity in an organization's operations. The approach also focuses on the long-term satisfaction of customers. The approach views an entity as a collection of processes that form one unit. “Do the right things, right at the first time every time” is the simple objective of total quality approach (Goeatsch nd Davis, 2014).
The processes of total quality management are categorized in four following categories: plan, do, check and act. However before the advent of total quality management concept various other quality embedded approaches were used in different organizations all over the world. These approaches include Six Sigma method which involves six distinct steps which are defined, measures, analyses, improve and control. Other methods on quality such as “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving” which was technically created to emphasize on quality improvement through problem elimination (Goeatsch nd Davis,2014).
The approach has acquired specific strategic attention because it has highlighted on the core problem of all organization which is quality development, management, and maintenance. The companies that have applied this approach have succeeded and created good cooperation among its personnel. Some of the foundation of this approach include the commitment of the administration to all workers, satisfying the consumers’ needs, team improvement, systems to facilitate enhancement and reducing product service costs (Gemenez-Aspin, 2012).
Total Quality Management is considered a customer-focused procedure whose continual improvement of organizations activities. It strives to ensure all associated human resource work toward the common objectives of improving goods or service quality, as well as enhancing the processes that are in place for production. Particular emphasis is put on fact-based decision making, using performanceformula to monitor progress. High levels of entity communication are emphasized on, for the purpose of maintaining employee morale and involvement.

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.

Introduction
Several quality improvement process tools and techniques exist. They include Lean thinking, Value stream process mapping, Kaizen (The Japanese word for Continuous Improvement), Five Ss (separate, straighten, scrub, standardize, systematize), Kanban Primary and Task Response. In this paper, different strategies or philosophies for quality improvement in business shall be discussed. The tools and techniques that shall be compared are: Lean thinking, Kaizen and Five Ss (separate, straighten, scrub, standardize, systematize)
Comparison
All the techniques aim at improving quality of production processes. They involve the production units and department. All need planning and allocation of resources strategically.
Contrasting
Kaizen is a Japanese word for Continuous Improvement. The philosophy states that everything can be improved continuously. It involves employees in the improvement of quality processes. Workers give their feedback on the criteria and important reviewing issues in the performance of workers, supervisors and managers alike. It bases on many suggestions from employees from all ranks in the organisation. They are expected to consider and implement them with a key goal of improving managerial performance. The system encourages workers to provide suggestion, fosters employee education so that they are informed about improvement, and lastly it encourages employee efficiency (Pinto et al., 2018).
Lean Thinking on the other hand is a technique of quality process improvement aims at improving productivity, quality and lead-time reduction in order to support growth and competitiveness. It involves continuous improvement of the processes and relationships of employees through proven systematic methods, which reduce waste and maximise on customer value. It follows Plan, Do, Check, and Act systematic method. The system achieves low cost productivity, reduce waste, quick response to customer needs and high-quality production (Vlachos, 2015).
Moreover, the Five S's (5S) tools and techniques improves the work place, making it clean, safe, organised and uncluttered thus reducing waste and increase productivity. It builds both mental and physical quality work place (Urick et al., 2018).
The best quality process improvement tool or technique for my project is the 5Ss. This is because it is systematic and aims at making working environment of high quality, improves productivity, makes wastage low, increase employee morale, reduces cost of operation and improves safety (Urick et al., 2018).
Conclusion
In conclusion, tools and techniques for improving quality processes are key in any project. Thought they focus on diverse issues, the 5Ss seems to cover most aspects that increases quality production processes.

Introduction
History of the quality management evolution
Based on Low & Ong, (2014) the history of quality management is traced back to middle ages in which the work of apprentices and journeymen were inspected and assessed to make sure that they met quality standards in all factors of the final product so as to ensure that buyers are satisfied. It has pass through several changes but it has maintained its goals. It started to work in 1920’s and its focus was on the final product in which the statistical theory was applied for the first time to product quality control. The inspections on product quality control was done, this include examining, measuring and testing the processes, products against specific requirements to ensure every element met standards and guidelines. During the late 1970s and early 1970s Western Europe and North America were facing stiff competition from Japan and the United Kingdom a net importer of final products. The firms started to reexamine the quality control techniques and how the Japanese have been successfully employed them and at this point the quality management control was employed in most parts.
This quality management is needed for the companies to ensure that their products are quality and standards and satisfied their customers. It is also needed to ensure that the end products meet the required standards. Development and change were done in 1940’s by experts and industry leaders and this was the start of Total Quality Management. This system is needed to change the focus from inspecting the end product to preventing final product problems by detecting on the production line.
Direction that companies are adopting in terms of strategic quality management
According to Naidu el at, (2006) there are various directions that companies can adopt in terms of strategic quality management but the following two are more specific. These include; adopting the direction of threshold capabilities which are required for the requirements of the completion in a market. In order to achieve competitive advantage, there is need to develop strategic capabilities which the competitors cannot obtain. This can be achieved through the resources that the company has and which are unique.
Strategic planning
This is another strategic direction that the company can adopt this so as to focus and prioritize the efforts and the implementation of a plan. The company can use this direction to anticipate and predict changes and the position the company to act. The company has to quality which is a top priority for all in the company.
