Summary "The Japanese management technology that made the biggest impact on the world in the second half of the 20th century were: the Toyota Production System, often also referred to as to Just-In-Time (JIT), which is the most famous Japanese production system; Total Quality Control (TQC) and Total Quality Management (TQM). However, as these management technologies became practiced as "lean systems" around the world and were further developed and popularized, they lost their status as unique Japanese systems - and in recent years, the superior quality of Japanese products has rapidly lost ground. As we enter a new era of remarkably competitive technological innovation (figuratively referred to as "global quality competition"), there is a strong desire for a codified management system that overhauls Japanese management techniques once again and updates them for the next generation. Executives and managers are concerned with generating rational management outcomes through Customer-first Quality Management
The aim of this eBook is to reassess the way quality management was carried out in the manufacturing industry and establish "Science TQM, new quality management principle", as a next-generation management technology. This new principle of Japanese management science aims to be a scientific quality management method - the key to success in global production is globally consistent levels of quality and simultaneous production worldwide (production at optimal locations). More specifically, Science TQM consists of several core technologies designed to address specific areas of corporate operations: the "Total Marketing System, TMS" for sales, the "Total Development System, TDS" for development and design, the "Total Production System, TPS" for production technology and manufacturing, and the "Total Intelligence Management System, TIS" and "Total Job Quality Management System, TJS" for administrative and managerial functions. These systems are then effectively linked through "Science SQC, new quality control principle", to rationally achieve strategic quality management. The focus of this eBook is thus the theory and application of strategic quality management through the application of "Science TQM". The effectiveness of Science TQM is then demonstrated at Toyota Motor Corporation--one of the world's leading companies."--Aims and structure, p. ii
