Total quality management, continuous process improvement, process innovation, whatever you call it, it's likely that you, as a training and human resources professional, will play a key role in implementing it. This is the book that explains, in the language of HRD, how to meet the demands of TQM. For more than a decade, Elaine Biech has helped trainers and managers put quality management into practice at organizations as diverse as Land O'Lakes, the American Red Cross, and the U.S. Navy. In this immensely practical guide, she gives you a thorough grounding in TQM as a customer-driven, quality-focused, process-oriented, fact-based, team-supported philosophy.

Not only will you learn to implement each step, but you'll realize why it's necessary, and understand how it fits into the bigger quality picture.
