Organizations are increasingly inter-dependent as they source talent, goods and services from other organizations located in disparate parts of the world. They seek new ways of creating value for themselves, customers and partners. They operate outside and across traditional industry boundaries. These innovations have lead to focus on business models as a fundamental statement of direction and identity. Ineffective processes have huge potential to jeopardize the chances of consistently providing products that meet customer satisfaction and regulatory requirements. This scenario calls for organizational transformation.
The present book is classified into five parts. The first part introduces the best practices of quality management in manufacturing sector, second part highlights the best practices of quality in service sector, third part deals with the quality in education, fourth chapter deals with the most successful quality practices like TQM & Six Sigma, and the last fifth part deals with strategic issues in the quality management.
