The recent global meltdown and recession has put great pressure on the organizations to produce the best quality products at the most affordable prices.

Organizations need to implement Total Quality Management in order to achieve organizational success as well as satisfying the customers so as to make more profit in the business arena.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is an approach to business that looks critically at the products and services a company provides in relation to the processes it employs to create them. It also focuses on the workforce to ensure that outputs fully satisfy customer requirements.

The TQM approach focuses on connecting the organization with the customer at every stage of the business process. The challenge of TQM in services lies in establishing smooth connectivity between business processes so as to retain the customer. Implementing an effective TQM mechanism in the service industry requires patience and commitment on the part of the management and the workforce to satisfy the customer.
Service can be defined as "any primary or complementary activity that does not directly produce a physical product, i.e. the non-goods part of the transaction between the buyer (customer) and seller (provider)." Quality has traditionally been related to the manufacturing industry. Due to the improvements in technology and automation over the last century, more and more of the workforce in both the developing and developed nations have shifted towards the service industry. This trend will continue. It is, therefore, important to understand the special characteristics of quality as applied to the service sector.
