Total & nbsp;quality control, also known as total & nbsp;quality management & nbsp;or total quality control management, is an approach to addressing quality through close monitoring at every stage of the process used at a business to produce products. This concept stresses constant reform in response to feedback in order to keep errors as low as possible. There are a number of ways in which companies can implement total quality control, depending on how they are organized and what types of products they make.
This approach to management was developed in the 1940s and 1950s. W. Edwards Deming is often credited with being one of the key figures in the genesis of total quality control. It combines philosophies about factory management and product quality from Japan and the United States, a reflection of Deming & #39;s work in Japanese factories. With the assistance of systems like total quality control, Japan & #39;s highly organized factories managed to bounce back from the Second World War to become significant contributors, especially in the technology sector.
