Total Quality Management (TQM) is an integrated approach to achieving continuous improvement of quality in goods and services. It involves including all departments and levels of an organization. The goal of TQM is customer satisfaction. Key concepts of TQM include management commitment, focusing on customers, quality at all levels of employees, continuous process improvement, treating suppliers as partners, and establishing performance measures. TQM focuses on eight essential areas: customer satisfaction, leadership, quality policy, organization structure, employee involvement, quality costs, supplier selection and development, and recognition and rewards.
