Read Marcus Overview

Many quality improvement programs fail because they were not managed as a total process. Total Quality Process (TQP) teaches you how to approach quality or any change initiative as a company-wide effort. You will learn how to make a commitment, plan and begin to implement systems for managing quality that integrates all the people, processes/systems and continuous improvement initiatives together.

Based on Philip Crosby's TQM methodology, what this presentation guide will focus is not a new quality control system, but a company-wide approach to total quality. A process for total quality must comprise Quality Management and Quality Improvement. The Total Quality Process (TQP) introduced in this presentation is based on Five Quality Principles and establishes Four Key Activities for Quality Management. TQP is designed to involve every employee in your company in quality improvement efforts.

Topic FAQ

What are the core components of a Total Quality Process framework?

A TQP framework combines principle-driven guidance and operational activities: the Five Quality Principles provide foundational beliefs (process focus, prevention, etc.), while Four Key Activities structure execution (making a commitment, planning, putting systems into motion, and sustaining quality). The approach centers on company-wide Quality Management and Quality Improvement.

How should an organization measure quality improvements under TQP?

Measurement in TQP uses defined quality metrics and Cost of Quality (COQ) assessments to track performance against objectives. The presentation includes measurement tools and guidance for setting up work process measurements and assessing Cost of Quality to monitor improvements.

Which quality tools and techniques support a Total Quality Process?

Common tools referenced for TQP include Hoshin Kanri for strategic alignment, PDCA for problem-solving, the 7 basic QC tools, and SIPOC diagrams for process mapping. These are presented as techniques to plan, implement, and sustain quality management efforts.

How can an organization sustain quality improvements after initial implementation?

Sustaining improvements involves ongoing training, regular reviews/audits, forming Quality Action Teams to solve problems, and recognition systems to reinforce participation. The presentation outlines steps for ensuring activities continue, including review and recognition of the Quality Management Team’s success.

What should I look for when evaluating a quality management presentation or toolkit?

Look for coverage of core principles and activities (e.g., principles, commitment, planning, systems), practical templates (Quality Management Team formation), measurement guidance, and problem-solving tools like PDCA. Flevy's Total Quality Process (TQP) explicitly includes these elements, including a PDCA problem-solving guide.

How much time should I allocate for initial TQP workshops and planning sessions?

A practical kickoff can include a 60-minute TQP overview session, a 90-minute Quality Management Team formation session, and a 90-minute goal-setting and planning session, reflecting the potential workshop agenda provided in Flevy's Total Quality Process (TQP) presentation.

I need to align quality objectives with corporate strategy — what method helps with that?

Use strategic alignment tools such as Hoshin Kanri to link quality objectives to business goals and cascade targets across functions. Planning steps in TQP emphasize forming a Quality Management Team and preparing goal-setting processes to support alignment through Hoshin Kanri.

After a merger, how can leaders quickly engage employees in quality improvement?

Rapid engagement starts with creating awareness campaigns, forming a cross-functional Quality Management Team, educating staff on the Five Quality Principles, and instituting recognition systems to reinforce participation; the TQP materials include awareness campaign templates and recognition system guidance.
