Only those organizations with thehighest quality products, most efficient operations, and the desire to improve will survive, grow,and be profitable. In many cases this means reinventing the organization and this can be aterrifying experience. One proven methodology to accomplish this task is Total QualityManagement (TQM). However, initiating a TQM system is analogous to progressing through anevolutionary process requiring a variety of steps, stages, transitions, and transformations. It is anendeavor that
