Task M 3: Total Quality Management: Second Tranche of Implementation  

Respondents to the Project's questionnaire disclosed a low rate of usage of TQM processes. Yet TQM is widely considered to be beneficial in improving customer satisfaction and hence business performance measured as market share and profitability, especially in diverse and complex organisations.

The Project will investigate the extent to which TQM is actually in use in railways, evaluate the benefits that it can offer to the various railway organisational units, and consider the human issues involved in achieving implementation and full exploitation of the benefits.
