A business firm has to maintain a high level of competitiveness if it is to survive and grow. Such competitiveness can only come from a greater commitment to provide customers with products or services better than the competitors can, and at the same time to do so at the least cost, with the fastest and most reliable delivery—truly a very challenging combination!
Traditionally, managers believed that this combination of high quality products and services, low cost, and fast delivery was not possible because these goals were, it was thought, mutually conflicting. But there is a way to reconcile them—by practicing a philosophy and system of management that was originally conceptualized by Americans, developed and perfected by the Japanese, and accepted today as the most powerful basis for gaining competitive advantage: Total Quality Management (TQM).
