TQM An Integrated Approach --
Implementing Total Quality through Japanese 5-S and ISO 9000
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Samuel K. Ho

Quality is the key to competitive advantage in today's business
environment. As more organisations opt for Total Quality Management
(TQM), the choices open to those wanting to set up a quality system are
becoming increasingly varied.

The value of this book is in the author's rich experience outlined within
the boundaries of the existing quality theory which can easily convince
the reader of its applicability in the real world.

Cutting through the welter of theories surrounding this subject, TQM: An
Integrated Approach, pulls together all the best quality practices to
create a step-by-step TQMEX Model for companies wanting to achieve TQM.
Focusing on the interrelation between the key elements of TQM, this book
provides information to suit everyone's needs, including:

-- Total Quality Marketing
-- Business Process Re-engineering
-- Quality Circles and Problem Solving
-- ISO 9000 and Quality Auditing
-- Total Preventive Maintenance
-- TQM Best Practice Benchmarking
-- TQM Kitemarks

Also including the first comprehensive analysis of the Japanese 5-S
Practice (Structurise, Systemise, Sanitise, Standardise and
Self-discipline), this book is ideal for anyone wanting to understand the
intricacies of TQM.

As Prof. Y. Kondo, a world recognised quality guru, summarises it in his
Foreword to this book "the TQMEX model explained in this book is an
important proposal". Clearly written, TQM: An Integrated Approach, is
relevant to any organisation, large or small, involved in manufacturing or
service industries. Packed with 39 mini-cases, numerous practical
examples and clear diagrams, this book is also a useful resource for both
undergraduate and postgraduate students.

BACK COVER

"The TQMEX model explained in this book is an important proposal: the
author explains that this model is a sequence of steps arranged logically
to serve as a guideline for implementation of a process in order to
achieve the ultimate goal. The range of activities of TQM is broad and
well covered. I am particularly pleased to see that 5-S is used as the
first step towards TQM, as it has been widely adopted amongst Japanese
organisations. In this book many interesting mini-cases, exercises and
self-assessment checklists are allotted to each chapter, which help the
readers understand the material and apply the knowledge. It is
essentially important that we employ Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle in
accumulating our problem-solving abilities and knowledge. This is the
source of our energy for continuous improvement and significant
breakthroughs."

Yoshio Kondo,
Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University, Japan,
(1971 Deming Award winner).

"I am greatly honoured to be asked to write this Foreword to Sam Ho's
book. I am of course glad to see the relatively long section on Dr W
Edwards Deming's work in Chapter 2. Sam Ho's concept of producing an
integrated approach to TQM is commendable. One of the main problems with
common attitudes to TQM is that they are generally too limited. In many
organisations there is too strong a concentration on a proliferation of
tools and techniques, and far too little on the transformation of culture
which is necessary to allow the true potential of those tools and
techniques -- and much else -- to be realised."

Henry R. Neave, PhD, FSS,
Director of Education and Research, and
Founder of the British Deming Association.
