Enhancing efficiency and quality control: Implementing TQM in Pakistani construction

In recent years, construction technology and production have heavily relied on Total Quality Management (TQM) systems to oversee processes and prevent errors before they arise. TQM prioritizes ongoing improvement across all aspects of an organization rather than just measuring performance. It places a strong emphasis on the quality of management systems and is essentially about changing the culture within an organization. This research aims to shed light on the importance of TQM in the construction industry, as there hasn't been an extensive study on its impact in this sector before.

Total quality management implementation practices and customer satisfaction: the role of innovative employee behavior and employee empowerment

This study shed additional understanding on how Total Quality Management (TQM) practices affect customer satisfaction through the innovative behavior of employees. Based on quantitative data from the 5 Teaching Hospitals in Ghana, this study employed a multistage sampling procedure to analyze the relationship between innovative employee work behavior and total management commitment, Training and Education, Performance Management System, Supplier Management, and innovative employee work behavior. We find that these relationships are positive and that the relationship between TQM practices and customer satisfaction is mediated by innovative employee work behavior. In addition to theoretical contributions to the field of TQM and healthcare systems, these results have managerial implications for hospital professionals who work at prioritizing the adaptation of TQM practices.

The Importance of Customer Focus on the Institutional Performance of Private Universities in Kenya

Institutions of higher learning (universities) have gradually adopted the total quality management (TQM) system to ensure quality product offerings and achieve competitive advantage. Universities in sub-Sahara Africa are vehicles of economic and human development through the provision of a trained labour force and research output. These organisations face elevated environmental dynamism in the provision of quality education. Due to conceptual gaps in the application of TQM in universities in SSA, the study assessed the critical importance of customer focus on the institutional performance of private universities in Kenya. The study employed a descriptive research design and targeted seventeen (17) privately chartered universities founded by religious-based institutions in Kenya. The study used a census sampling technique and randomly sampled 17 heads of administrative sections, functional departments and academic sections. Questionnaires were used as a primary tool for data collection, with the instrument being piloted at Carlile College, Kenya. Cronbach's Alpha reliability testing indicated that the instrument achieved scale reliability. The study employed both descriptive and inferential analysis. Institutional performance significantly and positively correlates with the customer focus (r = 0.580, p < 0.05) and explains 33.61 % of variations in institutional performance with an effect size of β1 = 0.5132 (t = 10.04, p< 0.05). The findings showed that customer focus as an element of TQM significantly influences the institutional performance of these universities. The study recommends that these universities inculcate and institutionalise customer-focused practices during the implementation of quality assurance. This study is of significance to the stakeholders in privately – chartered universities in Kenya and related contexts, as it will offer more enriching information on total quality management

Effects of Total Quality Management Practices on Financial and Operational Performance of Hospitals

The Total Quality Management (TQM) system is known to have a beneficial impact on sustainability. This study aimed to elucidate the achievement of hospital sustainability by analyzing the relationship between the implementation of TQM practices (leadership of management, decision making, continuous improvement, customer focus, employee involvement, process management, and relations with suppliers), and their impact on the financial and operational performance of hospitals. The gathered data underwent analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM) to empirically investigate the impact of TQM methods on the financial and operational performance of hospitals. A total of 1069 surveys were completed in 6 privately-owned and 26 publicly-owned hospitals located in the Marmara region of Turkey. This study contributes significantly by addressing gaps in the existing literature. There is a lack of empirical research that has examined the potential correlation between TQM, operational success, and financial performance in both public and private hospitals. Especially in developing nations like Turkey, the focus is on the early phases of implementing TQM principles, with a primary emphasis on continuous improvement and sustainable performance. The results demonstrate that Total Quality Management (TQM) exerts a substantial impact on the financial and operational performance of hospitals in the service industry.

Identify Obstacles in Implementing Total Quality Management Framework in the Ghanaian Construction Sector using Exploring Factors Analysis Technique

The concept of total quality management improves an organization’s performance, but there are several obstacles to its practical application. This study therefore identifies the obstacles to implementing the Total Quality Management (TQM) framework in the Ghanaian construction sector. A survey questionnaire was employed for the study, and the results were based on responses from 536 of 641 questionnaires sent out to the top management in the Ghanaian construction sector. The sample frame for the study was determined from the population made up of one thousand two hundred and eighty-two (1282) small to large-sized (D4K4 to D1K1) good-standing construction firms registered with the Association of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors of Ghana (ABCECG). The data was analysed using the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) technique. Cronbach's alpha was used to measure the reliability of the study instrument. While the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett's tests of sphericity were employed to assess sampling adequacy and significance. The study identified sixteen obstacles in implementing TQM framework in the Ghanaian construction sector. The five most significant potential obstacles among the sixteen identified obstacles in the ranking were: lack of understanding of TQM; lack of enforcement by the agencies responsible for regulating the application of TQM; inadequate TQM systems; lack of enthusiasm for TQM implementation; and lack of a TQM policy. All sixteen items (obstacles) identified were found to have a high impact on TQM implementation in the Ghanaian construction sector. Hence, understanding these identified obstacles to TQM implementation will enable construction managers to develop more effective strategies for improving TQM implementation in the Ghanaian construction sector. The study contributes to existing literature by using exploratory factor analysis techniques to identify obstacles to total quality management implementation in the Ghanaian construction sector.

Quality standards and internal quality control practices in medical laboratories: an IFCC global survey of member societies.

The trueness and precision of clinical laboratory results are ensured through total quality management systems (TQM), which primarily include internal quality control (IQC) practices. However, quality practices vary globally. To understand the current global state of IQC practice and IQC management in relation to TQM the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) Task Force on Global Laboratory Quality (TF-GLQ) conducted a survey of IFCC member countries on IQC practices and management. The survey included 16 questions regarding IQC and laboratory TQM practices and was distributed to IFCC full and affiliate member countries (n=110). A total of 46 (41.8 %) responses were received from all regions except North America. Of the responding countries, 78.3 % (n=36) had legislative regulations or accreditation requirements governing medical laboratory quality standards. However, implementation was not mandatory in 46.7 % (n=21) of responding countries. IQC practices varied considerably with 57.1 % (n=28) of respondents indicating that they run 2 levels of IQC, 66.7 % (n=24) indicating they run IQC every 24 h and 66.7 % (n=28) using assay manufacturer IQC material sources. Only 29.3 % (n=12) of respondents indicated that every medical laboratory in their country has written IQC policies and procedures. By contrast, 97.6 % (n=40) of responding countries indicated they take corrective action and result remediation in the event of IQC failure. The variability in TQM and IQC practices highlights the need for more formal programs and education to standardize and improve TQM in medical laboratories.

Exploring the influence of lean manufacturing and total quality management practices on environmental sustainability: the moderating role of quality culture

PurposeOrganizations have released the importance of lean manufacturing practices (LMPs) and total quality management (TQM) in enhancing competitiveness. However, the implementation of LMPs and TQM becomes more complex when discerning the environmental sustainability position. The complexity stems from the fact that LMPs and TQM are more intricate because of cultural differences. Thus, this study aims to tackle the aforementioned phenomenon by investigating the impact of LMPs and TQM on environmental sustainability moderated by quality culture.Design/methodology/approachA survey was distributed among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan; thus, 315 valid responses were received. Partial least square structural equation modelling was used to analyze the data and test hypotheses.FindingsThe findings showed that environmental sustainability was significantly impacted by all the LMP practices except Kanban and all the TQM practices except statistical process control. Moreover, quality culture significantly and negatively moderated the relationship between TQM and environmental sustainability. However, the influence of LMPs on environmental sustainability was not significantly moderated by quality culture.Practical implicationsThis study has implications for policymakers in SMEs, supply chain managers and academics regarding the importance of LMPs and TQM systems for implementing environmental sustainability and the role of quality culture.Social implicationsThis study provides guidelines for decision-makers on the pathways that enable them to sustain the environment to safeguard the natural ecosystem and natural resources for upcoming generations.Originality/valueThe originality of this study stems from the alignment of LMPs and TQM in enhancing environmental sustainability, taking into consideration the role of quality culture in SMEs, where previous studies failed short to investigate this phenomenon.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TQM SYSTEM IN UKRAINIAN ENTERPRISES

This article substantiates the feasibility of using an innovative system of total quality management (TQM) based on theoretical and methodological research. This system has proven its effectiveness in the global economic space. It helps to solve problems associated with increasing the production of high-quality products, the interest and motivation of employees, and also makes production management more effective. The experience of introducing this system by individual countries, in particular, Japan and the USA, is also considered. A comparison of the indicators of Japanese companies before and after the implementation of the TQM model is given. It was concluded that today the majority of domestic enterprises manage product quality in accordance with the principles of the ISO 9000 series. ISO standards are based on technical systems and procedures, but employee involvement and continuous improvement are optional. Unlike ISO, the TQM system involves prioritizing philosophy, concepts, tools and methodology, as well as involvement of all employees and a continuous improvement of quality. The possibility of adapting the TQM system to the practice of Ukrainian enterprises was investigated. Given the available resource potential, this is possible, but first of all, for this, it would be necessary to completely rethink the approach to the management of the organization and conduct trainings on familiarizing employees with the TQM system. Based on the analysis of the main technical and economic indicators of the « Agricultural company 2004» PE, it is proposed to apply the key principles of TQM, which were developed by the famous scientist E. Deming, to increase the efficiency of its activities.

The Role of the Total-Quality-Management (TQM) Drivers in Overcoming the Challenges of Implementing TQM in Industrialized-Building-System (IBS) Projects in Malaysia: Experts’ Perspectives

Total quality management (TQM) is a systematic management technique for developing a process-driven culture inside an organization to achieve quality and customer and employee satisfaction. TQM has started to impact global business systems, and is extensively regarded as a management “revolution”. The implementation of TQM in the industrialized building system (IBS) in Malaysian projects has not been treated in much detail, although it is essential. This research intended to assess TQM adoption in IBS projects and identify how TQM drivers will help to overcome TQM-implementation challenges. This study utilized the mixed method by developing a semi-structured interview and survey, while the respondents were experts from TQM and IBS consulting firms. The content-validity approach was used, depending on 14 interviews and 28 responses to a distributed questionnaire. The findings indicate that TQM adoption of IBS projects is extremely poor. According to experts, local firms are still unable to execute TQM because they are reluctant to implement the TQM system as a strategy implementation across the construction process. Furthermore, according to the content validity ratio (CVR), there was an agreement that TQM would provide substantial benefits to IBS projects, such as offering cooperative associations, excellent communication, enhanced customer gratification, cost reductions, and productivity improvements. This study provided practical evidence of the fact that if the organizations adopted these 23 drivers of TQM they could overwhelm the challenges of TQM implementation in IBS projects. Thus, the stated factors were trustworthy, as indicated in the transcripts of interviews, and relying on the plurality of expert assessments. This study offers a valuable list of challenges and drivers for managers of the projects as guidelines to help them adopt TQM in IBS projects.

Concretization of the scientific paradigm as a basis for building a mechanism of formation and increase of product quality and competitiveness

In the article, based on the study of theoretical and practical aspects of the functioning of the quality management system at the enterprise, analyzes the strategic dimensions of the implementation of the total quality management system (TQM). An overview of the key aspects of improving the basic principles of the total quality management (TQM) system in the context of the current state of global economic and technological development was carried out. The basic shortcomings of the modern paradigm of product quality management have been identified and researched, the main ones of which are the need to update tools, methods and management techniques integrated into the overall quality management system at the enterprise and the need for better strategic road maps supplemented with appropriate methods, tools and techniques for ensuring success their implementation, as well as strong aggregation of indicators used to assess the level of quality and competitiveness of products. This made it possible to form a list of key aspects of the modification of the current paradigm of enterprise product quality management based on the improvement of its separate conceptual principles, the application of which makes it possible to clearly distinguish the quality characteristics of products and the factors that determine their competitiveness. The introduction of a practically oriented model for assessing the quality and competitiveness of products, which allows determining the possibility of bringing products to a certain market, in the context of new operating conditions, is substantiated. An approach to the interpretation of product quality as a generalized characteristic of its compliance with a given set of requirements, and product competitiveness as a generalized characteristic of the total possibilities of selling a given product on a given market under certain conditions, is proposed, which allows to clearly separate the set of constituent elements of a product from those parameters that determine its competitiveness. This approach made it possible to develop a practically oriented model for evaluating the quality and competitiveness of products, which can be used to determine the possibility of bringing products to a certain market and the prospects for their further implementation. As a result, the proposed changes to the modern paradigm of managing the quality and competitive ness of the company's products will contribute to the formation of an effectively functioning management mechanism that will enable the comp.
