CHAPTER ONE
1.0     INTRODUCTION
First propounded by a Greek
philosopher, that man seeks to minimize his satisfaction and will this
patronize products that provide him with the best satisfaction’.
The concept and philosophy of total quality
management is becoming well known and is now widely embraced as an effective
strategy for organisation effectiveness.
Total quality management (TQM) is an
integrative philosophy of management for continuously improving the quality of
a product through ongoing refinement in response to continues feedback. It is
based on quality management from the customer point of view.
Total quality management (TQM) can be
applied to any type of organisation. It is originated in the manufacturing
sector and has since been adopted for use in almost every type of organsiation
imaginable including school, highway maintenance, hotel and churches.
Total quality management (TQM) is a
customer focused performance enhancing tool in which can be applied to any type
of Manufacturer Company. It balances the diver’s elements of business
(leadership strategic planning, human resources development and management
processes management information system (MIS) employee’s external customers and
stakeholders) and aligns then to achieve excel but business results.
The term that feature prominently in
the above definitions is “CUSTOMER SATISFACTION” Total quality management is a
philosophy that focuses attention on the satisfaction of the customers need as
the customer is the focus of  everything
that the company engages in whether external customer for end product or
internal customers who are within the organisation.
The customers’ importance cannot be
overemphasized in any production or service oriented company.
According to Wilson 1993 of Xerox corporation who said “it
is the customer and the customer alone who will ultimately determine whether we
succeed or fail as a company services the customer is the responsibility of all
Xerox employee’s”
The customers preference and
requirement should be continuously assessed and analyzed through an effective
research to determine or anticipate the trends in the customer taste. Based on
the conclusion drawn from research findings, products/service can be classified
and modified in form of branding, packaging, quality improvement etc. to meet
or surpass the customers’ needs.
Customers’ preference and requirement
may relate to speed of delivery of product/service conformance to
specifications, reliability of service, quality of support service etc.
Total quality management (TQM), aim
at ensuring continuous improvement in the operations, so that the right product
in the right quality with the right quality at the right price reaches the
customers.
It is important to note that for any
company (organisation to address customers needs and improve it effort to
satisfy these needs, it must become process oriented i.e need to focus on it
processes. Process orientation will require a significant change in the
thinking of most managers. This is because prior to now, managers have essentially
been trained to think in terms of individual actions and objectives. However,
companies are essentially made of People, Processes, System and Strategic.
Anything done as a company is accomplished through steps and actions, which are
components of processes. In order effect positive and productive changes, it is
necessary to examine issues of holistic view point rather than on an
individualistic basic.
A process can be this defined as a
service of actions which take an input and turn it into an output that
satisfies the need of both internal and external customers.
A measure of performance plays an
important role in the functioning of any organisation. They are used as means
of improvement of setting overall performance for highlighting the potential
means of improvement of targets and of providing incentive to individual and areas
of profitability, employee loyalty stakeholders satisfaction and assurance of
sustainal growth and earning.
Total quality management (TQM) is
certainly the key to success of business organisation.
1.1     HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
          The
term total quality was used for the first time in a paper by Feigenbaum at the
first international conference on quality control in Tokyo in 1969. In the 1980 to the 1990s a new
phase of total quality control and management began. This became known as Total
Quality Management (TQM). It developed as a catch all phase for the broad
spectrum of qual;ity. Focused strategic programme and techniques during this
period became the centre of focus for the western quality movement.
As a preclude to the definition of
TQM other concept existed before its Orihin. Akpell (1996) TQM a tool for
organisation excellence, Nigeria institute of management magazine state that
“management tool such as management by objective (MBO), strategic management, Target
management , organisation and method, work study which were prominent on the
business scene at one time or the other 
were swept off by position of pre-eminence by TQM.
Total quality management (TQM) brings
together customer service, product quality, productivity and cost reduction in
a new and powerful combination and possesses it now revolutionary and unique
features such features include the following.
Ø    The ability to generate impact
outside the confines on a manufacturing company, TQM has evolved as a
management concept out of the need by companies for continuous quality
improvement and critical importance of increased in profitability and as
competitions becomes very stiff.
Ø    The ability to reduce dramatic
improvement in manufacturing
company.
Ø    The special recognition of the
customer internal and external as a linch pin in business resulting in the
alignment of all business processes (technical, administrative, human resources
development, Financial auditing e.t.c) to satisfy the customer.
Ø     The inversion    of organizational pyramid where employees
in
leadership position give up their
command and control role for the more powerful role of coaching, supporting,
enabling and empowering the internal customers to deliver quality.
There is no business today that can
afford to ignore customers and the competitors. Therefore manufacturing company
that focus on the quality of service grows faster sometimes twice as fast as
the competitors in the market. This, the above factors gave rise to TQM in Nigeria since
most manufacturing company operate in a volatile business environment where
survival against all odds is the watchword.
1.2     STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The study of TQM is at great
importance in the manufacturing companies because if they do not perform as
they should, the whole economy would be adversely affected as non- performance
due to non- implementation of appropriate        TQM strategies lead to distress.
The advert of TQM is a management
tool used by manufactures to contribute immensely to professional service,
quality delivery and tremendous improvement to aggregate manufacturers’
profits. This problem statement can be made to read this ‘how does TQM impact
in manufacturing company.
While significant volume of research
work on TQM could be found on other sectors of the economy especially in
manufacturing company only few exists in the financial sector. An  employee that is not properly oriented or
grossly dissatisfied with what obtains in his work[lace could easily cause a
dysfunction to the entire system. Regardless of the study he is expected to
